2016 NASCAR Race Chat

He's been hot lately and done well on this type of track all year. I was having flashbacks to Truex last week. All those potential bonus points, just sitting there.... I was leaning hard towards Kahne too, at least I made that call right. Wishing I went for Johnson over Newman, but I thought that would put me too heavily into the Championship 4, figured you would pick them too and I'd have to go "counter programming" to make up points. Surprised I won the day with Edwards and Newman in trouble

Yeah, my estimates had Larson in the mid 40's. So, he over-achieved today.

I'm glad Lagano didn't win the championship. Congrats to JJ on number 7.

100% agreed! I was talking to a guy a few nights ago and he asked me "who do you want to win it?" I replied, "I've pretty much always been an 'anyone but Kyle Busch' guy, but Logano would actually be worse than Busch winning! I'd really like to see JJ win his 7th, though!" So, I'm glad it turned out that way.

To me, Carl winning it would've been "ehhh, alright, cool for him" but I would've rathered that than either KB or JL.

Just looking at Logano gives you an urge to smack him upside the head. I never did/will like him as a driver.

Actually, I think he's a good driver. But, I just can't stand looking at him or listening to him in an interview. He comes off like someone who has had everything handed to him and he gets too whiny too easily.

If they ever offer a "don't ever show me this person on TV again" option, Joey Logano would probably be a person I would add to that!
