Wow can't believe I didn't post last year first year I missed since I created this blog at this point outside of maybe a few family and friends lets be real probably very few people even sees this especially with how long I go between posts and each time I always say I want to post more and I mean that I love going back and rereading my old posts and as I have said these are the moments I wish I could talk to my nascar buddy my mom 2 about and I am going to try to do better next year because I really enjoy this and I enjoy going back and rereading my old blog posts but I am not making any promises life has changed a lot in the last 10 years since I created this for my college class I have graduated college, gotten my teaching job, moved. Now onto the reason I am posting again the end of the 2024 nascar season.
This season had lots of close finishes big moments like the wood brothers 200th win and I may make another post on that later. However I am focusing on the championships congrats to Ty Majeski for overcoming everything you have to become the truck series championships. Congrats to Justin Allgaier it was awesome to see you finally get your Xfinity series championship. I have always enjoyed Justin he is one of my favorites in the Xfinity series more than deserving of this title but especially everything he battled last night to win it after being a lap down after the penalties to overcome all of that and finally get the championship. He is going to be a great champion for the Xfinity series.
Congrats to one of my favorite drivers Joey Logano on your 3rd Cup championship. I know there will be lots who claim he shouldn't have this because of the format or the fact he didn't make it through until Alex Bowman was disqualified after the roval but the rules are the same they are for everyone NASCAR made the decision to disqualify Alex Joey got the 2nd chance and made the most of it riding it all the way to a championship. I love watching Joey turn it up when it comes to the playoffs and this even year streak he has going. It is amazing how the pressure is what causes some drivers to falter is the very thing that brings out the best in Joey. I got to meet him way back in 2012 and he was the sweetest and I see that a lot in the things he does with his foundation all the work he has been doing with the Hurricane relief efforts. He is a 3 time champion in Nascar but he is a champion in life which is even more important.
Finally a farewell to Stewart Hass racing and Martin Truex Jr. SHR has contributed a lot and they will be missed it is sad to see a once power house team in Nascar exit the sport and taking 4 seats for drivers. Martin thank you for being a champion of the sport and being one of the nicest and most respectful guys in this sport. Your story is one of perservence and never giving up you could have walked away but you kept fighting and with furniture row you became a champion. What you and Sherry Pollex did with your foundation helping children who have cancer with your catwalk for a cause every year and all the other things you have done. Enjoy retirement thank you for all you gave to the sport and the champion you were on and off the track!
