I really want Jimmie to win so The "King" and Sr. are tied for 2nd. Anyone else will be a disappointment.

If Jimmie kicks the ladder out from MTJ at Miami there's no justice in the world.

I know MTJ winning everything is annoying but holy gently caress he's having a season to remember (I wonder if someone recalculated using the last pre-chase point standings what he would be at right now)

The 78 will have its engine blow because he screwed Kyle.

I'm going to assume this is the super fun Stage-based points system and not a 36 race system, but:

quote:

1 Martin Truex, Jr. 1283
2 Kyle Busch 1147 -136
3 Kyle Larson 1140 -143
4 Kevin Harvick 1090 -193
5 Brad Keselowski 1033 -250
6 Denny Hamlin 1025 -258
7 Chase Elliott 997 -286
8 Matt Kenseth 931 -352
9 Jamie McMurray 892 -391
10 Jimmie Johnson 870 -413

Racing-Reference posts these on the full reports for each race. Jayski may have the 36-race season version.

Also, yay Jimmiebot's gonna win being the 10th best driver!

If Johnson had only won 2-3 titles he'd be easily the most popular non-Earnhardt in the sport.

Chase Elliot, still in with a chance to win the championship without ever having won a race. Imagine him finishing in the top 5 (again) ahead of the other three in the Champs 4 at Homestead. The ultimate reward for consistency across the entire season.

I like how much I'm enjoying all the scenarios in NASCAR this season, although probably not for the reasons NASCAR wants me to enjoy them.

A fitting tribute to Matt Kenseth if there ever was one. I'd prefer to see Suarez go HAM at Homestead if that's going to be the case, though.

I will go along with this if it means Kyle Busch has to run Morgan Shepherd's Jesusmobile.

Otherwise, it's a problem Brad has contributed to and it sounds like he still wants to run the series as a driver.

Ryan Newman came one spot away from winning a title in 2014 without winning a race (though, as it played out, he'd have had to have won which would've been less fun.)

That is the only scenario in which I will pull for a Chase Elliott championship.

He ran Larson into the wall at Phoenix to get the one point he needed to advance to Homestead, so if that's not championship-caliber and giving 100% in compliance with NASCAR rules, I don't know what to tell you.

Which he managed to average a 17th in across four races and a best of 11th at Kentucky.

I feel like he might be the caliber of driver who could bring a team up (Kurt Busch at FRM) rather than the team bringing the driver down (Labonte/Petty, Rudd/Woods).

I hope so, but RPM lost a lot of money with Smithfield bailing so I feel like next year's car will be worse than this year.

Is there a reason they couldn't have just changed the name? Because the article makes it sound like WWE didn't want Johnson involved at all.

WWE really doesn't like their wrestlers getting outside of Titan Tower's shadow. They only work with Dwayne nowadays because he's a famous actor; the publicity is worth more than the spite.

Marco Andretti and Graham Rahal have talked to Junyer about one-offs in NXS. "Show me the money" is the response.

quote:

"I mean, (Ron) Fellows when he ran our car he comes to us and says ‘hey got a little money, you got an open race somewhere?’ Awesome, let’s do it," Earnhardt said. "That is as simple as that. And so, if we did have those opportunities we certainly would entertain it and I think it would be great for the sport to have an Andretti out there running in stock car no matter where it is at, it would be awesome."
