It's the end of December. I don't know if I should go back to the previous season or turn to the next one. How about both?

In the end - as in the very end - there was little drama. It was Joey Logano, largely unbothere, cruising to the checkers with Ryan Blaney a couple of car-lengths back.

Leave it to Talladega Superspeedway, of all places, to inject a dose of normalcy into these NASCAR Playoffs.

There's a good reason why AJ Allmendinger considers the Charlotte ROVAL his favorite track on the NASCAR circuit. In baseball parlance, Allmendinger is batting 1.000 at the 2.280-mile, 17-turn road course (dubbed the "ROVAL" because it incorporates both the Charlotte oval and infield road course into its layout). The acknowledged king of NASCAR…
