48

[LARRY]

Lucks into another win.
It was a good race!

 

[Ford 222]

Lol. Yeah, lucked out 82 other times I assume too? And from the rear at the start. All luck.

 

[Marcingak]

If that last caution didn't come out Larson wins. It is based on luck whether or not the caution will come out.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

5th time I'll have seen him win at Dover. 2nd time in a row he didn't deserve it, getting old

That race was lucky as hell haha

Good for Jimmie. It's nice to see an underdog win from time to time.

Maybe one day he can luck himself into a championship

I think that kid in the 48 is gonna be something someday, just watch.

Talk about going out on limb

he don't make rules, he just wins by them. yes he got lucky with the caution. but he got the job done and Larson didn't.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Jimmie is the best at Dover & he showed it again by winning from dead last.

But Ray Charles could see lady luck with strokin the 48 all day long

What about the other 4 or 5 times when he should have won but the wrong pit call or something took them out.

 

[StandOnIt]

Lady luck? he started dead last. lol

yeah like last year when his trans hung up in third gear and he was in a good position to win..Tough one to remind the 42 fans but on the last restart at homestead last year it was another textbook restart with the 42 ending up getting the shaft. Johnson doesn't squander many opportunities.

Luck or not........ You can't discount the fact that the 48 team is always a threat to win..... I think this is the deepest in the field that anyone has ever won at Dover.... Even though the stats won't show it because that was not his qualifying position......

 

[LARRY]

Your right of course NASCAR gave the win by waiting to wave yellow until their boy got past the magic line.

 

[Rick]

He was in position to capitalize on opportunity.

 

[CalTenn]

Johnson just beat Larson on the restart even though Larson had the better car, grasshopper will learn or continue to get beat.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Fortune certainly favors him that's for sure. Capitalizing on it is only 10% of the battle.

Larson also probably messed up by taking the top on the last restart. Spin city when you try to get going there on old tires.

 

[rocket dawg]

Smart and lucky. He didnt have enough for the 42 at the end and had a huge lead on the 3rd place car. So why not save your tires just in case a late race caution pops up. And it did. Burn up your tires trying to catch the 42 and have nothing left if a caution comes out and finish 5th or get caught up in a crash. He's not a 7 time champion by coincidence.

 

[Pat]

I don't think Larson would have won anyway.

 

[Zerkfitting]

It was a combination of luck and skill.

 

[DSquad48]

That's racing. Cautions and circumstances will help some, hurt others. JJ has been screwed by strategy/cautions/late race restarts his fair share of times.
