Season 12 Finale // Bristol // ACS Season 12 Race 12

[@RACINGUS95]

Man, what an incredible finale. It felt so good to see the ACS back in action after a 2 year break, and it was definitely one of the best seasons in the history of the series, and it was capped off with an incredibly action-packed final race. Seeing Kurt Busch ending his career on top was the perfect way to end such an amazing season. Thanks for an unforgettable season Geno, and we can’t wait for whats to come in the future

Brad out here being an absolute menace😂. This is the alternate timeline of ross in the 23' finale. Great race

[@Thesportsfan8]

What a season Geno! An incredible ending to an incredible season. Couldn’t have ended much better! Glad that Kurt won the championship in his final season. This was definitely one of the best seasons in Aflac Cup Series history. So cool you did the final race at Bristol.

[@AflacCupSeries]

Thank you for the kind words! Bristol was a great track for the finale.

[@JordanTheBeam]

@@AflacCupSeriescan you keep the finale at Bristol for next season?

[@Nill83]

An amazing race to end the 12th season of the ACS. Hyped for season 13!!

[@michaelblumel2892]

Bad Brad does NOT care about your championship status 💀

[@RACINGUS95]

Brad was probably like: championship battle? Never heard of her

[@AAPCSRN]

WOOOOO YEEEEAAAHHHHH BRISTOL BABY

[@DoubleTMan2423]

The was a great and incredible championship race at bristol. The big crash and side by side action and the bump and run were awesome. Perfect championship race video geno.

[@AflacCupSeries]

Thanks so much!! Really glad you liked it.

[@Miscraft]

That was an awesome race! 30 Laps!!!! Also, I absolutely love the camera on the first few laps. That is my favorite camera in all of racing and you captured its essence so well Great season, ya did an amazing job as usual!!!

[@Brycelamb682]

Not a lot of changes since the very first ACS race, keeping our nostalgia alive

[@ChikizisDeiracer]

My pick Kurt Busch wins the championship in the most Kurt way possible by ramping up into the 9 and drag raced him. And one more time, cheers to a legend and cheers to a “Outlaw”. May the best lie in him and will always be here and remember….

[@AustinFeltron]

Amazing finish 🫡

What season 13 is coming

[@Mat1854..........]

I'm late but I got to say a few things. I guess I forgot to comment lol. Kurt Busch lost at Fremont in the 2nd ever race in the ACS by wrecking his brother Kyle, this season he won at Fremont to finally overcome those demons from season 1. In season 2, Kurt had an amazing regular season, leading the points and getting his first ACS win at Bristol which only cameback last season for points races. Unfortunately he struggled in the chase and his rival Jimmie Johnson won the title. Season 3 and 4 were terrible season for Kurt but he cameback in season 5 for Furniture Row racing with a win and a shot at the title. But once again, he lost it in the last few races and Kyle Busch won the title. Season 6 and 7 were good seasons but he missed the chase in both simply for not winning a race. In season 8 he broke the winless streak by winning the Aflac 200 at Colon. Unfortunately he still missed the chase. Season 9 was the start of Kurt's career resurgence. From here on out, he was able to get one win per season which was unheard of from him in the start of his ACS career. He got 4th in points in season 10 and runner up in season 11 after 2 wins. He lost to young gun Ryan Blaney. Now in season 12, 10 seasons after his first win at Bristol, he comesback back to the same track with a chance to win the championship against his brother who already won the season 5 championship over him and who he had the issue with in Fremont in season 1 (which Kurt overcame to win this season). Against Chase Elliott, friend of Ryan Blaney who Kurt lost too last season, and Ross Chastain, who's running in Kurt's previous number. After all of this, after the season 2, 5, 10 and 11 that got away, Kurt Busch wins the Aflac Cup Series season 12 championship at Bristol in his retirement season. I thought about it this season when he was at the top of the standings and I thought it was too good to be true, but it did happen. Kurt Busch's story in the ACS is one of the best ever and your surpassed yourself with this finale Geno and i'm so hype for season 13! I'm mad at Brad lmao I was rooting for Kyle but I get it. Kyle did wreck Brad at in the season 8 finale but i'm still mad at the 6 lol.

[@AflacCupSeries]

Incredible journalism! Thanks for the reminder of the acs lore. I totally remember season 2. That was peak villain Kurt and I wanted to ruin him so badly back then 😂 keep in mind I was like 14-15 back in season 2. So I definitely let emotions play a factor in a lot of races lol

Question for everyone: What's your favorite ACS season finale ever? (Not including the spinoffs)

[@MutantTurkey1]

My personal favorite is Season 7

[@AustinFeltron]

@@MutantTurkey1agree with season 7 cus that was originally the end of the series so geno went all out

[@MutantTurkey1]

@@AustinFeltronAlso because of the 3 wide finish and Trevor Bayne blowing it.

[@RACINGUS95]

Season 11 for me

[@AflacCupSeries]

Great question. Some of my favorite finales are Season 6, Season 7, and Season 12. It may be recency bias but I really enjoyed the Season 12 finale.

Hey Geno I have a question about the tracks. Where do you store you’re tracks when your not using them or do you just adjust the layout for each track?

[@GutsandBlackpowderSweat]

He stores the tracks

[@AflacCupSeries]

I have them in my nascar room. The cardboard ones are in the room with me and the wooden ones go outside in a shed.

Fun season. Thanks for doing another season Geno 🫡

[@Colombiaballnr2055]

Hey, Gino do you know I got an idea and this idea is recreating season 1 and now why do I want this idea to be make well it's because this year is going to be the 15th year anniversary of the athletic cup series I don't want to see a remaster of season 1 but probably you have to cottage short because while you're a teacher and we all know that nobody has a ton of time Or if you don't want to do it then you can do the same things as 10 days of 10k after this common thank you for these awesome 15 year :)
