Technically they’ve done it twice.I don't think HMS ever won back to back titles with different drivers, have they?

Too lazy to google, but didn’t Gordon and Labonte win back to back, or was Big E wedged in between?I don't think there's a race track that is so beneficial to a driver in a particular organization than Martinsville and HMS.
So much success. It's no surprise that Larson ran well.
Larson is so good. If he can not choke, he may be in the finale.

Oh ****! I forgot about Labonte's title.Technically they’ve done it twice.
Gordon in 95 and Labonte in 96
Labonte in 96 and Gordon in 97.
haha sweet straight line burnout down the whole front straight MTJ!
What are you, Reader's Digest?I missed the race thread during the race but sounds like I didn’t miss much. Chase fans complaining the whole time, Jaqua changing his mind 10 times who had the best car, people saying KB is washed for finishing top 10 with a dune buggy , and people calling Denny a scrub because Truex had a faster car when the sun went down
I said Blaney had the best car the entire day XD not once did I deviate from that.I missed the race thread during the race but sounds like I didn’t miss much.

For the same reason Mark Martin get’s it. Nothing left to prove except for a championship. Until he wins the big one, he will forever be a bride’s maid.Denny has a lot of career accomplishments, including 3-time and back to back Daytona 500 winner, 44 Cup wins...he’s a solid threat every week. I don’t understand the Denny hate...

IMO, Championships don’t mean anything anymore.For the same reason Mark Martin get’s it. Nothing left to prove except for a championship. Until he wins the big one, he will forever be a bride’s maid.
In the grand scheme of things, it’s not something to be ashamed of.
I don’t disagree but our two opinions don’t change why Denny gets some hate.IMO, Championships don’t mean anything anymore.
I think, for many, the championship lost a lot of its luster once nascar started the cartoonish tampering of the format.
Take last year, for instance. A guy won that had fewer wins and a worse average finish on the season than two other drivers. One guy even had nine wins and lost.
I still don’t get the Denny hate.I don’t disagree but our two opinions don’t change why Denny gets some hate.
I also think @gnomesayin (I could be wrong) made a case a while back that Denny has the success to be widely popular but his personality isn’t relatable. Plus he flat out wrecked the most popular driver a few years ago in a crucial race. Kyle Busch syndrome.
I too have mixed feeling about the current championship format but this is nothing new. Bill Elliott had 11 wins in '85 and also lost the points race. On the other hand I don't think the Labonte brothers ever had more than two wins in their championship seasons.IMO, Championships don’t mean anything anymore.

Yeah but it was never as silly as it is now.I too have mixed feeling about the current championship format but this is nothing new. Bill Elliott had 11 wins in '85 and also lost the points race.

Denny is a great race car driver. I don't care for his character.Denny has a lot of career accomplishments, including 3-time and back to back Daytona 500 winner, 44 Cup wins...he’s a solid threat every week. I don’t understand the Denny hate...

I totally understand but right or wrong NASCAR apparently wanted to emulate the other pro sports where if you make the playoffs, you've got a shot and that's what we have now. But just like before I still like it when a driver I like wins it all and hate it when one I don't particularly care for does.Yeah but it was never as silly as it is now.
2020 was a Harvick championship season. He had damn near twice as many wins, led way more laps, started better and finished better throughout the season than the guy that won the championship.
Kinda takes the value away of out-driving someone and negates the credibility of a championship.
I don’t mind his personality. I think he’s a great driver. He’s fun to watch and never gives up.Denny is a great race car driver. I don't care for his character.

I think he got beat by a tire changer that doesn't know how to control his hose. Who was suppose to be behind the wall and pull the slack of the hose as he comes around the front. Basic move for Pit crew tire changers.Yeah he didn’t have the best car.
Blaney beat himself.
Led way more laps and had nearly twice as many wins.Nah man give it a rest. We’ve seen a lot of seasons like this, hell we have this system because Kenseth won with 1 win lol. I’m not a fan of the elimination stuff, wish they’d just do the chase, but Harvick choked bad down the stretch with a massive points advantage
Teams won and lost today.I think he got beat by a tire changer that doesn't know how to control his hose. Who was suppose to be behind the wall and pull the slack of the hose as he comes around the front. Basic move for Pit crew tire changers.
Not trying to be contentious tonight but just wondering. Would you call Stewarts '11 Championship a farce? He didn't win until the chase started and the I'm sure you know what happened. Like Stewart, Elliott and team surged last year when it mattered and as stated above, Harvick and team stepped on their dicks at crunch time. I don't see it as being any different the an NFL team winning 15 (or all) of their games and then losing in the playoffs or Superbowl. It happens.Led way more laps and had nearly twice as many wins.
The 2020 championship is a farce.
Well I’m not a fan of anything Chase or playoff related.Not trying to be contentious tonight but just wondering. Would you call Stewarts '11 Championship a farce?

Who won then? I’m too lazy to look it up.*2015 championship has entered the chat*
Frickin' comic book crap, yeah I hate that too. I'm surprised they don't draw masks on them. Don't let me get started on drivers being interviewed outdoors and having to wear masks.Hell, nascar has even added cartoon caricatures to the broadcast this year
