Well, any of the militant Jr. fans at the track are probably heading for the exits now.

JGR just can't catch a 🤬 break this year...
On to Richmond.

The racing was good, but would have been better if a yellow had been flown to bunch 'em up for the finish and maybe get some of that traditional Bristol bump and run. As it was, it was too professional, too classy and too gentlemanly. And it lacked a good fistfight after the finish. NASCAR needs to bring Bristol back to a one-groove status.

Save for the puzzling Larson penalty, I thought the race was okay.
But on record, I still despise the segments. 👎

I really think Larson would have won the race if he didn't get that penalty. He was almost untouchable when he had 4 tires.

Right. If they are going to use math to calculate the speed, they should also calculate the shorter distance from the inside lane to the outside lane around a curve.
And IF the whole idea of pit lane speed is safety then what in the hell difference does it make how fast, why the hell was there even a segment, he was in the last pit box!
There is no reason to have a pit segment after the pits have ended. Just stupid.

Junior will be retiring after this season, the 2017 campaign will be the last for him.

How long before this becomes the ONLY thing the networks talk about until season's end?

I personally thought he should have retired last year after his concussion problems returned in full force.

I'm not a big Jr. fan, but it will be sad to see him go. I expect to see what's left of the sports popularity to go with him when he retires.

Mark me as not surprised but NASCAR needs to keep him around in some form or another for their own sake. Was never a fan really but he seems like a great guy nowadays and I was never upset to see him run well.

I kinda figured it was gonna happen soon after he said he was holding off re-signing his contract at the start of the year pending a health evaluation. Much as I hate to see Junior hang it up, I reckon he'd like to enjoy family life without having his brain reduced to a scrambled mess from one too many concussions, so it's quite understandable.
