I may have already mentioned that, but I may have hard times sleeping while thinking that.

My body is not ready.

The epicness of an amazing season finale.

Is it me or is just about nearly all the current top 15 drivers using the high line?

OMG it's Johnson VS Keselowski atm.

Really strange strategy calls by Paul Wolfe. Not surprising, but I figured they might play it safe

Well, Jimmie's team just (possibly) blew it

SOMEBODY GIVE JIMMIE THE HEIMLICH, I THINK HE JUST CHOKED!

Did...did that just happen??

You gotta feel absolutely terrible for that poor tire changer.

Now lets play a game called fuel mileage.

JIMMEH BLOW'D UP!

WHAT SORCERY IS THIS? The 48 getting a penalty AND BLOWING UP?

JIMMIE HAS BEEN RUSTLED!

BRAD KESELOWSKI YOUR 2012 CHAMPION

Well that was anticlimactic.

Feels like that just happened in the blink of an eye.

GO BRAD GO BRAD GO BRAD GO BRAD GO BRAD GO BRAD GO BRAD GO BRAD GO BRAD GO BRAD GO BRAD GO BRAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The #48 team will have new engineers after this one. I expect them to have a new tire changer as well.

Brad Keselowski just needs to keep it on the track, keep it off the wall, and the title is his!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the 48 team.

Also GO TRUEX, he's hounding Kyle Busch.

Can Bowyer sneak back into second, or is he too far back?

I'm speechless.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Dodge will definitely have something to smile about when this Race is over.

It's funny because ESPN made no effort to hide the fact that they were rooting for Johnson.

I think he needs one spot. I'd rather Jimmie place second though, since it seems to be bad luck to do so

and in other news, people in Africa will get their Jimmie Johnson 6 time champ shirts next week.

Can't deny the passion of Jimmie Johnson and his crew. Happy to see Brad win that championship!

OMG Gordon and Bowyer 1st and 2nd.

AND BRAD IS THE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELL YEAH BRAD KESELOWSKI!!!!!!!

Everything that happened today has pretty much went my way. Can't be any happier right now.

Great win for Jeff Gordon, great championship for Brad Keselowski, and great way for Dodge to end it's longtime life in NASCAR.

Brad Keselowski wins the championship in Dodge's final year in NASCAR for now.

Brad K winning his first championship in just his third season.

I think this is just the beginning of Brad's rise to super-superstardom.

Jeff PunkAss lethal weapon wins. Not happy with that.
On the Upside, KEZ WINS!!!!!!!!!
And Clint finishes second in the standings. I wish he could've gotten up to Jeff and wrecked his ass on the final lap though. And yes I am still going to harp on this throughout the off-and 2013 season.

also, 20 years ago, Jeff Gordon made his first cup start, now look at him.

my overall views, I think this season has been really great to watch.

- Dale Jr breaking his winless streak at Michigan.

- Jeff Gordon's spectacular flip at Daytona in the Bud Shootout.

- And most of all, Juan Pablo Montoya crashing into a jet dryer.

It's time to say goodbye 2012 and hello 2013 for NASCAR now.

and boy Jeff sure made it up from Phoenix too.

Congrats to BRAD KESELOWSKI on his first Cup title, and Dodge's first since 1975!

Okay race. One of the cleaner ones on the season.

Gordon wins....You know Clint Bowyer or Regan Smith/insert sub driver here could've used that win. But whatever...Good run for Almirola as well.

BK HELL YEAH! Well deserved championship for BK. To think Hamlin and Kyle Busch a few years back we're chewing this guy out for actually racing in Nationwide, To think Keselowski within in the decade was running back-marker trash cars. Kez is one of the few guys that is not vanilla and actually runs as hard as the legends did back in the day. Likable guy deserves and hard fought and well-earned championship

2012 was pretty meh with a lackluster start but picked up in the second half of the season and it's a great thing that the season ends on a high note!

Fun stuff! Awesome Job Kez!

Congrats to Brad Keselowski for winning the 2012 championship. Great for Dodge on their final race. Great for Jeff for redemption and 20 years of success.

Why do so many people see this win as redemption for Jeff Gordon? It's not like the win just erases what he did.
Still very happy for Keselowski and Roger Penske as well. Who would've thought this as the outcome at the start of the season?

We Miller Time, baby?

You'll get over it.

Favorite driver wins the race, my 2nd favorite driver wins the title. Not bad.

Great job for Brad Keselowski and the whole Penske organization, it's awesome that a guy who has been endlessly harassed by the Gibbs douchebrigade wins a Cup title before any of them.

I do feel bad for Jimmie, would've liked to see him at least finish the race.

My favourite driver since 2005 when he ran his first full-time truck season just won a Sprint Cup championship. This is so surreal.
