Alabama and Georgia faced off in the College Football Playoff National Championship Monday night in a thriller of a game.
Following a 13-0 halftime deficit, the Crimson Tide capped off a furious comeback in OT to defeat the Bulldogs 26-23 in what many are hailing as one of the greatest national title games in the sport’s history.
NASCAR folk from all around tuned in to watch the drama unfold, and emotions were riding high.

The #NationalChampionship feels like a long green flag run right now, that usually means some good old fashioned mayhem is on the way

I think that punt was the green flag on the final stage. Crunch time! https://t.co/OJnEjCHqmO

Third down against Bama’s defense is like running the outside at Martinsville https://t.co/Lc4mVVppCR
