Don't know about you guys, but that was the craziest season finale I've ever seen

    I agree. Best chase I've ever seen. Closest we've ever had. Winning in a tiebreaker? That's just crazy. I couldn't ask for more.

    I did think it was exciting. I'm a ford guy, so I am definitely frustrated that Stewart won because I was hoping a ford would win the Nationwide and Cup championship. Congrats to Tony because he earned it, but I'm still not happy about it. We have had 2 different champions in the last 7 years.

    I think that when NASCAR has a tie they should have a 20 lap overtime between the 2 drivers to settle it once and for all. Golf plays extra holes. Tennis plays tiebreakers. Team sports have overtimes or extra innings to determine a winner., but NASCAR has a tiebreaker built in not allowing the participants to break the tie by playing it out. Because of that the 2 drivers should have been co-champions because they did not get a chance to break the tie for 1 point. Maybe they need to tweak this if it ever happens again.

    Congratulations to Tony Stewart. He said he would do it, he fought like a madman every time something happened like the bad pit stops, he just continued to fight and pass all of the same cars over and over. He had his mind set to win, and drove a very determined race. SMOKE you rock!!!!!!!!!

    To the guy that thinks races are fixed, tell us how in the heck anyone could predetermine what happened during the race tonight at Homestead?????

    Yes it was a wild and crazy race, I am kind of glad for the red flag for the rain, gave everyone some time to settle their nerves a little. Btw......how about all those restarts where Tony fanned out and floored it???? As one of the announcers just said, Tony was aggressive on restarts, and just kept driving 'back' up to the front.

    Happy for you Smoke!!!!!!!!

    I'm not a fan of the chase, but this was a good race, to bad we had those rain showers, making it last so long.. Congrats to Smoke and Chevy.

    surely. As a fellow Indiana interior of sight I gotta root for the abode boys (besides as Gordon). i think of it would be fairly cool to be certain him win as an proprietor/driving force. As became stated in the previous, dropping the burden could help him in an staying power attitude besides as overall performance. Tony is called a funky guy outdoors of racing. yet while its time to pass racing, its corporation as continually.

    I'd like to congratulate Tony Stewart, his fans, and Burger King (since he forgot that one in victory lane)

    I'd also like to say great job to Kasey Kahne and his crew for a great year, with a win.

    And congrats to NASCAR on a good season and good show after 5 years of torture.

    And congrats to the true NASCAR fans on Y!A, the seasons over, and it'll be Daytona testing before we know it!

    SOO happy for Tony. This was a special championship for me because my uncle (a die hard Stewart fan) died a few months ago & he would have loved to've seen Tony win this.

    Actually brought tears to my eyes~~~

  • I agree with you, Matt. This was awesome! I held my breath for the last 3 laps. I did not yell and scream until Smoke drove under the checkers! I think the neighbors may petition us to move!!!!!!

    Good, great, awesome race! And this was a very FAIR race......

    Congrats to Smoke!

    STEWART HAAS RACING ROCKS!

    It was the best, especially since Smoke actually was able to pull it off.
