For the win, no less.It’s in the moment, sh!t happens. emotions run high when you taken out in the last corner
But he led everyone into a trap.Kez was not the only driver to misjudge that corner buddy. Watch the replay!
There may be hurt feelings and heartbreak, but that was an excellent battle.I just got back from the race and honestly I hate that my guy didn't win and I really thought he had Truex in the last Chicane, but he didn't. However, I am very happy to see that Jimmie was hungry for that win, loved seeing that.
Oh well, onto Season 2019 for the 8th Championship.
Okay, they were ALL dumber than Johnson.Kez was not the only driver to misjudge that corner buddy. Watch the replay!

The explanation on the post race show was that NASCAR allows 3 laps to obtain minimum speed and the race restarted with 3 laps to go. That didn't make any sense at first but after I thought about how NASCAR handles penalty situations it seemed to make more sense.But Jeffrey just stopped. It makes no sense.
Also, curious as to what minimum speed is and how many laps you have to meet that minimum speed.
Anyone know where I can find post race presses? Only found Clint Bowyer's

Presser* gotdamnI don't know what presses means
Still fustrated for JJ. Had a top 3 car today, and had Truex if there were another few laps left.
Had top 5 speed all chase so far. He deserves to be in on performance alone.
As mentioned, he "probably" didnt have the speed to win Homestead. But if 7 titles and 83 wins give you the luxury of "stupidly" risking a playoff spot to win a race, I'd take it.
Jimmie was fighting back tears there.
Dont be suprised if he wins Dover. And of hes a contender next year. If he doesnt announce retirement. The look of dejection was quite interesting, as if it was his last shot?

Here folks, lets learn something and put the tin foil hats away for another day.
Sparse crowd.
Well, the farther you got away from the S/F line back toward oval 4, the fewer people there were. That first grandstand coming into 4 was pretty well deserted.Where I sat it was packed tight.

I'll bet the track wishes it still had those stands between oval 1 and 2, and the tower in 2.
I usually sat in New Veranda sections in past, but waited too late and they were sold out. We had Row 33 in Veranda A, which would have been prime for the All Star or 600. For Roval, I couldn’t see turns 3-6, but did pick them up on straight between 5-6. Also couldn’t see backstretch chicane. Best seats would be Ford tower, but those are too high/steep with my fear of heights. Yeah, I’m a candyarse. I may try for Club Deck next year which is above Nee Veranda.Yep, I saw that as well. I knew going in the seatrs where I was and into (old) turn 2, would sell out more than likely. I figured (old) turn 4 would be pretty much empty.
But, my seats were great!
I'm getting too old for night races, and too cheap for a hotel room two hours from home.
But an F for decision making.Jimmie gets an A+ effort man. He's hungry, I would be afraid of Jimmie next week at Dover.
He earned his spot todayI figured NASCAR would just make a tiebreaker up that eliminated Aric

I have always respected Jimmie Johnson. Have not always exactly liked him, and wasn't often rooting for him. I did find myself rooting for him on the final lap today, and I've never *liked* him more than I did after seeing how badly he wanted to win even though he didn't need to. I don't like seeing anyone make a clear driving error and take someone else out. But the pure desire to just win the race, playoffs BS be damned, was very compelling.
Why is he even there?Jesus, Larson's kid is obnoxious.

I'd love to see the rotors glowing red going into 1...I agree with this. I can't believe how many people are mad at what he did. Seemed like he valued not having a winless season over a championship that is pretty unlikely to begin with IMO. I think there's a lot more momentum to be built off a win like that than just coming home 2nd and riding the wave of consistency.
Roval Night race actually sounds like a great idea (compared to ovals, it sounds like a good idea), never have we seen any road course racing at night, so I'd love to see it.
Because all parents think their kids are adorable and want to show them off to the largest possible audience.Why is he even there?
and Truex would be crying either way it came outJimmie JohnsonVerified account @JimmieJohnson 2h2 hours ago
After sleeping on it... I would only change one thing. I should’ve added front brake bias heading into the braking zone... I think we would’ve been door to door with the 78 across the S/F line. Bring on Dover.
If I'm understanding this exchange correctly, that's about the least classiest thing I've seen in a while.I think this relates to the race.
