if i was a conspiracy theorist i'd wonder about that race. Here you have Edwards, hasn't won a race all year, but he's the one there at the end challenging Stewart. All the other cars fall half a lap back? What we're they...going 3/4 throttle?LOL

i liked when he pulled up at the end, right in front of the Ford sign

Congrats to Tony and His team. As far as Chevy, I'm not sure why every is giving them congrats. If anything Hendrick should get the nod. None of these cars are anything close to a Chevy, Ford, Dodge, or Toyota.

+1...more or less the same thing last week. I'm glad you went there first. I have no problem with the results, but way too unbelievable with the teams as close as they are now

Read a book yrs ago about cheating in NASCAR! The talked about "the call" from Bill France. Rumor has it that on Saturday, Bill France would place a call to a Crew Cheif of his choosing and tell them "its yours to win!" meaning that the inspectors wouldn't look at their car as hard as the others. This book also went into detail about Darrell Waltrip hollowing out the K-member in his cars to use them as Nitrous containers, Teams welding up trap doors in the frames of the cars and filling them with lead shot, so the car would weigh in correctly then once of the track they would dump the load

They both ran fast all race, and had pulled away multiple times during the race. Not like they both suddenly got extra fast at the end.

Still based on a Chevy design motor wise.

Tony did a phenomenal job. I'm a Jimmie Johnson fan but I'm glad that Chevy and Tony won the cup. He earned it.

Congrats to Tony Stewart, Chevrolet, & Hendrick Motorsports for a phenomenal year! Thats 6 Championships in a row for Chevrolet! And seeing the face on the Ford and watching them get beat at their own race for the championship was priceless! : chevy:
