Nielsen won his first title by winning the final race. I think it's time for a little of that magic again.

Connor Root and Will Kizer collided coming into the pits. Doesn't look like there is any damage but we'll see if that effects Root coming up.

Pit stops are still ongoing but Connor Root has stayed out longer than anyone else and picked up a bonus point for leading a lap.

Caution! Ginny Tonic is knocked into the wall by Al Cohallik. Root still hadn't pitted. This is going to change things up a bit.

Root, Ginsberg, and Gale will stay on the lead lap but Duke, Sifford and Nielsen look to be trapped one lap down now.

Cautions breed cautions. Another caution flag flies after the restart for a spin out involving Red Neckanback. Duke, Nielsen and Sifford will be back on the lead lap.

Caution on lap 190 for an accident involving Deacon Palmer and Andrew Foley. Again this was during green flag stops and could change up the race quite a bit.

Looks like if this goes green the rest of the way we will have green flag stops with 10-15 to go which could alter the finish. Can anyone catch Connor Root?

Only 12 on the lead lap. Nielsen is 11th, Sifford 12th. Root is coming up on them. If he laps them he probably wraps up the title.

Sifford gets lapped on lap 212. His car looks done. His teammate Helen Wheels is 2nd though, maybe she will decide to put Root in the wall if she gets to him.

Two cautions have occurred so far during green flag stops. Only 9 cars remain on the lead lap. Root's team gave him a rocketship today.

Root is in. Challenge will be coming off pit road and onto the backstretch with no incidents. That has been the problem area today.

Root makes a clean stop and is back on the track. We'll check the standings one every completes their stop but it looks like Root is on his way to victory and the championship.

Race #15 of 15 - Ford EcoBoost 400 Results
What a statement that was from Connor Root and the #39 team. Root started the day 24th and methodically moved his way up the field before finally taking the lead around halfway through the race. From there no one could touch him. Root dominated, lapping all but 2 cars and beating 2nd place Blue Neckansack by 12 seconds. Root is your Season 3 champion. The rest of the top 5 was Neckansack, Comrade Path, Hana Ginsberg and Bo Duke.

Now is the time to get your stat changes in for Season 4. We will probably take the week off while everyone has time to make changes and then restart on Monday, August 17.
