Do you really think that MTJ is a Gordon-caliber driver and has just been hiding it for the past 10 years?

Lol this again.
Yeah, Truex was the second coming of David Pearson all along. He just needed the equipment and right crew chief.

He didn't do so bad last season either. Sometimes a crappy car is the reason. Do you think Johnson would have ran as good in some of the cars MTJ had been in so far in his career?

Johnson would be nowhere without Knaus & Truex would still be a midpacker without Pearn.

We might as well give the championship to Truex. He has destroyed the competition all year.

Doesn't help he was with a Dying-DEI and then a MWR car that really didn't start running good until h9s last season there, where he got screwed over. Besides 2014, He has been great with FRR. Been running great for the past 3 years, not just this year and last

@ChexOrWrex I guess it did just need to finish the equalization 24 is a spot ahead of JMac in 13th.

And if not it doesn't make him a bad driver. You just gotta have the right car, team, etc.
Which imo doesn't make either a bad driver. A good driver still needs good people around them and a good car as well.

He was in the final 4 in 2015 too. He's had 3 good years, I'll just leave it at that. I'd take other drivers before him

Hell no.
Theres just always 1 to 3 teams a season that are to be in position to win every week. This year MTJ is in that basket with Larson & Busch.

The difference is Jeff Gordon was an elite driver and did it with different crew chiefs later in his career. Truex is not THAT good. Totally different.

Yea FRR has been locked in. Nothing wrong with that, just the way it is. I will be amused though if they choke it away the next 10 weeks

The playoff points carry over each round and you can accumulate more playoff points right?

Y'all remember those years when JPM, David Reutimann, and Clint Bowyer outperformed Empty Jay in the same equipment?
