Nascar, I'm currently driving home from what may have just been the greatest race I've ever seen in person yet. You made the right call making Atlanta to what it is and mastering the package for the cars. I will never, EVER, forget this night. Plus a finish that looked straight out of my favorite movie of all time. I love this sport so, so much.

[@kartchamp47]

It was an amazing race.

Lol, what a s!mp's take on a destroyed track in an awful race format.

[@eldiablort1461]

What? When you have to show a graphic that shows how many cars haven’t been involved in a wreck, that’s not racing. GFY.

[@MASK26.]

we should have a 20-25 minute highlight reel, this race was utterly incredible

You’ll get one from NBC. Maybe it’ll be 40 minutes.

That race was why I absolutely *LOVE* Atlanta...and NASCAR as a whole. Huge congrats to Daniel on the win but props to Kyle and Ryan for a heck of a finish.

[@joeypenskebucsh8563]

That must be the top 3 finishes in nascar history 🎉🎉🎉

[@Oozywolf]

You could argue it's all three of the top three 😂! But seriously, that's just insanity!

[@zzzaccounting5924]

Needed 4 wide for the greatest 😅

[@WillowCreative]

well it's already top 3 closest finishes in history with 0.003 gap

[@ryancurley2351]

@@WillowCreativeI think this is better than Jimmy and bowyer at Dega but idk if it’ll be as good as that wrestling match between the 32 and the 97 at Darlington As for Xfinity @ Daytona in 2018 and Dacono 95 for the trucks, this beats both regardless of how close those were

Buckle up, and keep watching. I've been a casual NASCAR fan since I was a little boy and just watched for the wrecks. Despite what the grumpy Boomers will tell you, it's a hell of a ride as a fan.

[@user-ud7ko4cq1n]

The new Atlanta Motor Speedway = THEE MOST EXCITING TRACK IN NASCAR. Unreal. If I owned a 1.5 mile speedway, I'd be studying the physics of how Atlanta configured this track. It produces TALLADEGA closeness on a midsize track. Stunning racing!

[@Oozywolf]

Holy CRAP what an ending. Congratulations to Suarez! And congratulations to Blaney and Busch as well, as all 3 will be cemented in history for potentially the closest finish we've ever seen. Especially 3-way?! Unreal. I can't wait to see this in lots of promotional footage.

[@HirokaAkita]

I love the fact that Suarez's fans, Blaney's fans, and Rowdy's fans (as well as the drivers) simply can't even complain about the finish. Here, it really doesnt matter who won. It was a fair and clean race to the line. *Because we, NASCAR FANS, WON in this race.* And, as someone from Monterrey, México (the same home city as Daniel)... man... *_How could I be happier?!_** MY MAN WON THIS RACE, MY BOY WON HIS TICKET TO THE HISTORY BOOKS!!!*

[@mitchellm1602]

Happy for Suarez! Damn good race with the craziest finish I’ve seen live.

That three wide finish is easily the best next gen finish to date if not the best finish of the year.

This race and finish both reminded me of why I love this sport so, so much. I am still in complete awe of the literal spectacle we were just treated to. Literally looked just like a replay of the spring 2011 Talladega finish, I was screaming for joy so loud as they crossed the line I had no idea who won. Suarez gives the 99 another memorable finish for the ages since Carl Edwards did it over Jimmie Johnson at this same track in 2005. I can describe this whole race, Atlanta itself, and the finish in one sentence... ONE OF THE LITERAL BEST IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF NASCAR!
