2014 Nascar Review

Welcome to TimersSports

The 2014 season  officially came to a close with Kevin Harvick being named the 2014 Sprint Cup Champ. Its been a wild ride for us. So many memorable moments! From Dale jr statement Daytona win to Harvick dominating championship chase run. This is the final article for the 2014 season. So hope everyone enjoys it!

Here my top 15 moments:

15. Danica Patrick makes statement run at Kansas- Great race. Danica was just lights out. That was the most complete race she ever put together. To me she a decent talent with a lot to prove.

14. Dinger finally wins - An race I went to was Watkins glenn. One of the best races in 2014. The Dinger had the dominated car that day. It was clear early on he wasn't gonna be deny an win.

13. Kyle Larson finishes 10th at Bristol - One of the most impressive performances I ever seen by a rookie was Larson at the first Bristol. He ran top 5 most of the race. But faded to 10th after a slow pit stop.

12. Brad Keselowski wins Talladega ; Pisses off majority of the fanbase - BK proves champs don't quit. Props to him.

11. Kenseth goes all crazy on BK after Charlotte race - On of the craziest things you ever will see is Kenseth attacking someone.

10. Gordon wins at Indy - Great race. This was a great race not because Gordon won. But because 3 years earlier Gordon dominated and got robbed. He wasn't gonna be denied another Indianapolis win.

9. DH skips Fontona due to eye ; Busch takes checkers in a wreck filled event - One of the craziest races of 2014 was the Fontana race. There were least 10 tire failures in that race. Cars literally were getting shot down. In the end Busch holds off Larson and co to win.

8. Terry Labonte makes final career start at Talladega - To the newbies , Labonte retiring wasn't nothing. But to me it was pretty tough. Great racer. Enjoy full retirement Terry.

7. Marcos black eye Casey Mears - Casey Mears angered Marcos Ambrose. Still one of the most hilarious moments in 2014.

6. Dale Jr complete Pocono sweep - I cannot remember the last time Dale completed a season sweep. But against all odds , Dale rose up and proved why he is still one of Nascar best.

5. Harvicking - BK thought he was ducking Gordon , but Harvick wasn't having it. Oh no sir!

4. The return of the 3 - A very special moment indeed.

3. Larson impressive chase run - During the 2014 chase , Larson scored 6 Top 10s. He's a rookie. Impressive.

2. Almirola brings the King back to VL - After a wreck filled race at DIS , Aric pounce on the opportunity and delivered! Its took 15 years , but the King Richard Petty 43 car returned to VL.

1. Tony Stewart makes his return - At Atlanta Motor Speedway , TS made his return to Auto Racing after the tragic event earlier in the year. The moment Tony walked to greet fans..boy that was electrifying.

Those are my personal favorites! But there probably 100s out there. So on Twitter or Facebook , I want to hear some your favorites.
