Well, JJ won the championship...

[indydog]

I can't believe that hack and his cheatin' crew chief won 4 straight. I'm done watching Nascar, it's worse then Formula 1. At least F1 don't hide the fact that they favor certain teams/drivers.

Am I the only person who wonders why, through the first 26 races, JJ only won 3 and had an average finish of around 10th, but as soon as the "chase" starts he wins 5 out of 10 races and is the cream of the crop? All this while the rest of team mates are so very average and struggle for a good finish?

I feel bad for Mark Martin. He so deserves a championship...



And what was that crap with Montoya? Smoke runs into him, sends him into the wall and a trip to the garage and gets nothing. Montoya taps Smoke, and gets a 2 lap penalty?? I love Smoke, but that sucks.

Simple, they focus on just those last 10, besides Indy. Plus they work harder than everyone else.

Everyone wonders why they have such good luck......Becuase luck is were Preparation meets opportunity.

I can understand why you are upset. What I can't understand is why you watch that crap in the first place. NASCAR wants a Hendrixk car to win and that is the best Hendrick car. Lots of fans like Stewart and don't like Juan ( I don't much like either one of them). I love open wheel racing, but lets face it, almost all racing has sucked this year.

I think Jimmie has a ton of talent and a crew chief that is one of the most dedicated in the garage. Yes, Chad steps over the line once in a while but truth is that Chad makes great calls and adjustments most weeks.

I don't fault the #48 team for concentrating on the Chase. Afterall, they lost the Chase the first two years but learned how they needed to run their season to win a playoff system. I think they'd be just as successful under the old system as Jimmie rarely puts a wheel wrong.

I'd watch out in 2010 as my gut keeps telling me JJ's going to get a bunch of bad breaks and not finish so well. But I'm not a gambler - don't put any money on my hunches! LOL

by the look of the grandstands and the tv ratings, we might someday be talking about nascar in the past tense!

Well....I don't watch NASCAR anymore. I don't hold with thier championship rules or the "races for the chase" BS at all, or the stopping of a race so it can finish under green. WTF!!!!!!!!

What is stopping a car owner from not running the last ten races if it's not in the championship hunt? NASCAR can have Danica and all the BS Drama she brings. Goos-bye and good riddance.

I liked NASCAR when they really ran "Stock Cars." Not the cookie cutter BS they run today! Well, that's my $0.02 worth.

Best to you all!

If you like NASCAR, then you probably believe professional wrestling is real.

If NASCAR was that rigged no way JJ would win four in a row - it's killing NASCAR. They'd have Jr. winning.

That said, Chad Knaus is a proven cheater.

Have you guys noticed that the yellow flags with less than 5 laps to go haven't happen like usual? People started talking about phantom cations.....then magically, no cations in the final laps in last 3 races of the year.
