Jimmie taught him a lesson right there.

That was the best Brad could expect. He screwed up, but did a great job on 2 tires.

Huh? JJ should have blown by him on the first restart. Brad taught him something there. This isn't over.

Are you serious? Texas has ruined NASCAR.
Hence why I said "Best Texas race ever". Every track puts on a good show every once in a blue moon.

I'm glad you're happy.

They never call inches on a restart. I have to give Kyle some props there. Brad was holding him up and he didn't bump him too hard coming to the line.
Now, lets hear JJ cry....

Keselowski says that if they keep running like that they wont be beat...he just got beat 
But good run for him and a not so smart call for those two tires, IMO.

Cool. Perfect interview from JJ.
I think JJ may see the future, and it's going to be tougher than ever for him to win cups moving foward.

People are saying Johnson taught Kez a lesson there? Remember, it took him two tries. He was not going to win that race before Martin spun.

I think that's debatable.

You're right, we'll never know. But I didn't see the gap closing until the yell came out

I had the lap by lap tracker open but wasn't paying any attention to it
I'm sure Hotpass watchers know (they're all-wise)

3 tries. Without those yellows, Brad would have beaten him with 2 tires, and that doesn't happen at Texas.

Easily the most exciting finish I've seen in person at Texas! Even including the race Jeff won in 09.
Can't believe Jeff blew a tire while running in second. He would have been right with the leaders at the end.

Trying to see if I can find myself on the TV broadcast next to the fence between turns 3 and 4 on the restart after the loooong caution that came out after half a lap under green. I'm by myself and directly over the tunnel at the restart. I wouldn't recommend standing there while they're going full speed; my eyes were burning real bad after a couple of laps under green.
I'll upload some pictures tomorrow.

Was the crowd larger than it looked on tv? It appeared that there were quite a bit of empty seats.

I'll say one thing though. He does wear the hat better than Austin Dillon.

I noticed that. There was almost no one on the lower level near the entrance to pit road.
It was like there was an invisible bubble over that area with the stands full all around it but no one in the invisible bubble.The cheap backstretch seats were mostly empty as well.

Now a little explanation about these. During a caution, I decided to leave my seat and stand along the fence on turn four just past where the grandstands end. I was there during the restart that didn't even last a lap. During the looooong caution that followed, I walked towards turn three and stood by myself directly over the tunnel for the next restart. But my eyes burned so bad when they came by full speed that I had to go back to my seat after a couple of laps.
The first three are from turn four, and the last one is from over the tunnel between turns three and four where I was by myself.

And finally, this picture is from sunset. I was hoping to take a few more after sunset when it got dark, including one of my dad and I, but my phone died.
The guy in the maroon shirt looked just like Ricky Stenhouse Jr. I should've asked to take a picture of him. I would be able to say I met Ricky and y'all would believe me.
