Ricky Stenhouse and Jimmie Johnson champions? Aww, man.

The outcome of this race seriously ruined my day. Glad I missed it.

I only have a problem with half this statement the other half can go died it my opinion. I'll leave it to you to decide which half I mean.

Uh-oh... here he comes...

Here's how I sum up the weekend.
1: Bathurst 1000
2: F1 Japanese Grand Prix
3-98: Every other race that might have happened this weekend
Tied for last: NASCAR Cup race at Kansas and NASCAR Nationwide race at Kansas

Why the hell did Kansas get a second race in the first place?

99: The one golf tournament where the two guys tied after four rounds and two tiebreakers.

Fixed.

What a great race... to not be home for. Lucky me, I was at Pocono.

lowes should be a little better, and dega will be good, 2 car tango or not.

You know, the classic NASCAR fan in me wants JJ to keep winning championships because maybe, just maybe, it will show Big Brian that the Chase is flawed beyond all belief.

The #48 has won five of these, and there's two reasons for that; 1.) The tracks in the Chase fit JJ's driving style and Knaus's setups perfectly, and 2.) Nobody else wants to step up and BEAT the #48 (case in point: Tony Stewart almost mowing down his pit crew, etc.)

So, here's to the #48 and getting number ten. Hopefully the higher-ups realize how bad the Chase is when they start making "ten-time" memorabilia.
