On Sunday, WWE‘s Ettore ‘Big E‘ Ewen @WWEBigE introduced the ‘Championship Four‘ drivers prior to the Cup race, and chewed up the stage with his enthusiasm. Following the dropping of the green flag, Joey Logano @joeylogano chewed up most of the race with his racing skills, and took home the win, and the championship. For the fans at home that were chewing on snacks while watching the broadcast, they got to see all of that, and commercials, too.
