Didn't happen on the last lap with Larson squeezing Hamlin into the fence saying PAYBACK! like I said at the first..but close enough.

As a human being I feel like I want to cry for Denny. How the hell do you come back from this? Like legit I’d have to go on a long vacation by myself and question everything.

Big Hendrick guy, Denny deserved to win that. This feels empty. Nothing like I felt in 2020 or 2021. This system should be killed with fire.

Don’t even know who won the race. Lol. Why were the other 34 cars even out there?

He’s champ! Omg Larson did it! Haha I can’t believe he’s NASCAR champion! Elite driving with two tires there.
I think something was wrong with Denny, tire pressures may have been off. He really struggled off corner exit there in 3 & 4

I’m happy Larson won but it’s just a weird feeling.

Unreal, I am a HUGE Larson fan and have been before he ever got into stock cars, but man that is just brutal to take for Denny Hamlin. 
Not everything.
Just the call for 4 tires. Crazy
'The Sting' is on TCM. See y'all.
I thought Preece had it there for 3 seconds.
Damn

I disagree
I think we will agree that this format sucks. But it’s the same format everyone raced under this year.

He says it all “ we didn’t lead a lap today but are champions” this system is a flawed gimmick joke. End it.

Blaney took it from Brad on the line, they haven't mentioned it yet.

I like Larson a million times more than Hamlin but a guy who didn’t even lead a lap in the all-powerful single race still wins it all. What more needs to be proven to show how stupid this all is?

Yeah, almost.
Like sure the yellow ****** him.
But (amd make sure you read this part Andy) Larson came in 11 points behind Byron with the current points system NOT THE WINSTON CUP POINTS SYSTEM. The same one we would probably have if we go back to 36 race points season. Larson probably would be champion this year.
WITH THE CURRENT METHOD OF SCORING POINTS. Stages, and everything they got now.

Terrible break for Hamlin. I genuinely feel bad for the guy. He had this thing won.
Larson has no business being champion. Wasn’t even a factor all day. Honestly his weakest season overall in 5 years.
Not a single mention of Blaney beating Brad to win the race in a photo finish…
Glad NASCAR thinks a GWC lottery is a deserving way of crowning champions. It’s broken. Everything about this sport and its presentation is broken.
Between last night and tonight. Throw this whole system in the garbage.

Cant wait for Feb. 15th
Not being all wrapped up in the gimmick, that was a hell of a race. Tough break for Denny, but that's how racing goes.

Disagree. Larson had a hell of a season with 3 wins and 14 Top 5’s

And Denny wouldn't have had a shot at winning without them. If hate the playoffs why bitch when a guy who wouldn't have a shot without them doesn't win it?

Kyle himself said he can't believe it and this is insane. He's right
