Great win Martin, Pocono is not easy.

Martin, had a great car to come from as back as he did to win the race, other drivers said if they could have been in the lead after a pit stop they would have won,, but even if they would have come out of the pits 1st Martin would have passed them for the win, He had the best car and is now back on track for the championship,

Rain delay in Mi. Great piece on about the Almilrola family called "Beyond the Wheel".

Nobody has talked about today's formal announcement that FRR is shutting down operations as they can't afford to run anymore without sponsors. The rumor mill says that Martin is going to JGR with Cole Pearn staying on as CC. That could be interesting being teammates with Kryle Busch. I'd rather see him going to SHR but you get a ride where you can.

NASCAR is really going to have to re-think itself and get its s**t together, or else it's going to follow Unlimited Hydroplane racing down into the black hole of irrelevance.

Agreed Ron, I think SHR would be a better fit - but who are we to say- sure wish Martin could chime in

Let the games begin

Fire that front tire changer, 6 tire violations for 2018. Martin was having a great run until pit stop tire violation.

The 48 car went into "spin cycle." Appears that during the "cool down" lap after the finish, Martin wasn't cooled off when he spun the 48.

He needed (the 48) a good punch in the chops , but in the long run the points took care of it for Jimmy for a bonehead move- all he had to do was finish where he was in 2nd

Will be interesting to see what happens from here for the 48 - Lowes not returning - he and Chad have seem to run their course, may be time to step away , but you could tell from the post race interview ,

He aint ready yet..........

Im pretty sure the 22 has one coming - that was a BS move imho . Martin raced him pretty damn clean for 6 laps, and he dumps Martin in the last corner ........

 

[Ray Sametz]

Well the final 4 is set, too bad last race is a sh*t track like Homestead. Dega or Daytona would be more interesting. Bring it home Martin. OMHO.

 

[Andy Greene]

20 laps for all the marbles - go get em MTJ 

 

[Doug Smock]

Awesome effort this season Martin and FRR! B)

It sucks that you didn't have a little more in the tank for what's his name...
