Twitter Chat: Fans Talk Homestead-Miami and Future NASCAR Stars

The final race of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series at Homestead-Miami gave fans a lot to talk about.

Below are links to our top Twitter questions this week and also a few responses. Every Monday, we will host a #NASCARTalk Twitter party at 12:00 PM PST / 3:00 PM EST. Join us for some NASCAR talk. Have something to say? We would love to hear from you! Join the conversation on our next Twitter chat and tweet us a comment.

Answers:

A1: I was only able to catch the last 60 or so laps. I turned it on and was immediately on the edge of my seat. That's the product I want.

— Greg Clark (@gclarktweets2) November 20, 2017

A1: There was nothing to dislike IMO. I liked how close the championship battle was throughout the race. I love Homestead! #NASCAR

A1: Didn't dislike anything about it. Really enjoyed the final 60 laps. Along with that the drive that won the title fully deserved it.

— Kenneth W Lee Jr. (@FrontRowKenny) November 20, 2017

Loved the closing laps and the drama that it brought. Hated how the 10 & 88 finished their careers

what did I like? my driver @MartinTruex_Jr not only won the race but the championship. dislike? nothing really.

Answers:

Even though my driver got wrecked but the fall Martinsville race was my favorite race of the season. The fall Phoenix race would be a close 2nd.

— Jonathan Thiebaud (@Jtbaud249) November 20, 2017

Kasey Kahne winning at the Brickyard 🏁😊

Kurt Busch winning the Daytona 500

— MO_Outlaw41 (@MO_Outlaw41) November 20, 2017

Fall race at Martinsville. Love the hype. Short tracks kick ass. #NASCARTalk

— GraydonBunn, JrNation (@SmoothOper88or) November 20, 2017

favorite race? probably the finale where MTJ raced 20 of the hardest ran laps of his career and closed a career season with the title. and holding Kyle Busch off to do it.

— Patrick R. Dron (@patrickdron78) November 20, 2017

Easily my fav moment. pic.twitter.com/dTNKSS9Ok8

Question 3: Which was most surprising storyline? Danica crying, Truex Jr. win? How Kenseth raced at Homestead, how Brad raced, or other?

Answers:

Truex Jr win. His love for Sherry is incredible. This meant so much to him and he did this for her. She’s a fighter. Like Martin said the other day he thought he would be out of a ride a few years ago and now look at him

— ScottyFrame30 (@ScottyStyles29) November 20, 2017

After finally watching the NXS race, I found Sadler's beef with Preece a bit surprising. Elliott's been around long enough to know, there's tons of ways to lose a championship. He's human tho, had to find blame somewhere. Byron was better anyway. #NASCARTalk

— GraydonBunn, JrNation (@SmoothOper88or) November 20, 2017

A3: Danica crying. Although some people don't like her attitude, her tears proves that she is human just like everyone else. It shows how much she cares about being a race car driver. She'll definitely be missed. #NASCAR

— Daily NASCAR Scoop (@NASCARDaily) November 20, 2017

Kyle Busch and his attitude. He was much more relatable after his return from his broken leg.

— Sandra J Barnes (@sandrajbarnes) November 20, 2017

He's an excellent driver. I just wish he was more likable and not such a smart mouth. After his accident, he came back and with his great attitude I really rooted for him. He just comes across as not interested anymore.

— Sandra J Barnes (@sandrajbarnes) November 20, 2017

How good @SamHornish raced at Homestead. For a guy that doesn't race that often he did pretty good

— ryan goodrum (@ryan_goodrum) November 20, 2017

Question 4: @NASCARDaily has a serious question. Do you think the love for motorsports is a blessing or a curse? #NASCAR #IndyCar #F1 #NASCARTalk

Answers:

I think it's a blessing. if I didn't follow motorsports I'm not sure outside of baseball I'd follow sports.

— Patrick R. Dron (@patrickdron78) November 20, 2017

It's a very tough question but some weeks it's a blessing some weeks it's just cursed

— Benjamin Paulson (@BenjaminPaulso8) November 20, 2017

A4: A curse. I have a lot of things I like to try and do on weekends and taking the time to attend or watch my is a struggle. #toomanyhobbies Hard to spend 2-12 hours on a nice Saturday or Sunday in front of the tube or PC. I like many series.

— Greg Clark (@gclarktweets2) November 20, 2017

Bit of both. I live in an area where racing isn't all that popular. I find myself explaining & sometimes defending #NASCAR. I'd be shot around here if I said hockey is just fighting on skates, like people say NASCAR is just circles.😁 Happy to educate tho. #NASCARTalk

— GraydonBunn, JrNation (@SmoothOper88or) November 20, 2017

It can be a curse if you feel that way. I happen to love all Motorsports

Answers:

MTJ is my top driver but the young gun will be Blaney

— Zane Taylor (@ZaneTaylor33) November 20, 2017

@Blaney & @BubbaWallace

— Vicki Calhoun (@VickiCalhoun5) November 21, 2017

Sticking with the 88, @AlexBRacing. @DaleJr seems to have an 👀 for talent. 2/3 #NASCAR Champs came outta Jr's stables. Byron & Truex. Not to mention Almirola, Keselowski, Josh Berry, etc. #NASCARTalk
