Despite the obvious facts that Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been at a distinct disadvantage with the rules package this season, a HMS car was able to overcome and win todays Cup event. Young Chase Elliot t won over the regular 3 winners of the season in a hardcore display of a determined driver. It means 250 WINS for the elite Hendrick organization ! What more PROOF of the classiness of HMS is that? 7 time Champ Jimmy Johnson kindly pushed young Elliott into victory lane after Chase ran on out of fuel after the checkered had flown.

Didn't get to watch any of Elliott's first Cup win. We did look up the highlights and he seemed to be a very deserving winner. I really don't have a handle on what is going to happen with NASCAR but one thing is for sure, it seems to be gasping for air and the interest levels, even in our house, is at an all time low dating all the way back to my pre-teen years. I don't really have much empathy for NASCAR since they've put themselves where they are now, which is about as irrelevant as class A baseball. That might be a knock on class A baseball!
I feel bad for Jimmie. He's been such a good example of how good people can also be the best that has ever been in their given endeavor. That scenario is becoming more rare all the time. I'm very glad Jimmie made his fortune when the sport was still very relevant. I firmly believe he will be known as one of the 2 or 3 best to ever have competed in NASCAR and his prime came at a time when NASCAR was still a major sport in America.
NASCAR has good people in place to make the move into the prominence of drivers like Jimmie, Truex and others. Elliott, Larson and several more seem to be good people in addition to their driving talent, skill and courage. Those guys, and some others that are headed to the Cup division, are going to carry the torch both on and off the track but their abilities and class may be diminished by the irrelevance and relative obscurity that has descended upon NASCAR.
