Emond Wins at Homestead Mallory Wins Championship
Emond Wins at Homestead but comes up short in the Championship battle. All but one driver lead laps in this one but the strong contenders for the win appeared to be Emond and Mallory. Todd didn't want to race the final with the math in mind. He came to Homestead to race for the win. He was running up and then it happened again. Electrical failure ends his race day. A bittersweet moment in an otherwise awesome season finish. Taking nothing away from the # 74 team. In any other season that would have been a championship effort. Great runs were also had by Teague who finished 2nd and rookie Stewart who finished 3rd. Pergram and Zerg rounded out the top 5. Great job all. Congratulations to Mallory on the 2011 Championship. Todd is CCR's 2002 Sprint Cup Champion. He led 40 laps of the Chase. He racked up 9 top 5 finishes along with 4 poles and 3 wins. Awesome job Todd and an epic battle Paul. The Chase was great racing. 4 Different winners, every driver lead multiple laps and in some race was competing for the win. Unreal door to door battles and extremely tight finishes all season long. If this is any indication of the future 2012 will be awesome. Expansion plans for 12 are already under way. Keep your skills sharp in the off season it will be one hell of a battle for the Cup. See you then. More info coming soon.
