Some of us did in another topic, but Denny Hamlin did an awesome job at the end. Being able to hold off Gordon those last few laps and especially off turn 4 when Hamlin got loose he was still able to keep it!!!
I picked Gordon, Johnson or Stewart. Gordon was 2nd, Johonson was around 5 or 6. and Stewart was 12th so it was pretty good.
They actually had a very solid 10 ten.

yah, gordon had a long time getting around truex, would have been a lot closer or a different finish if he would have gotten around him sooner, but he didn't catch him till that last lap anyway, but an awesome race and an awesome finish.....i'm still happy with 2nd :)
i still say this is gordon's year, i'm standing behind that, bet you he has the championship this year :) consistently in the top 5 or top 10, he only has 2 races' where he's finished out of the top 10

Congratulations to all you Denny believers!

BUT, NASCAR is obviously now a "team sport" now that they all play with the same ball (CoT).
Denny's team did a better job of turning the rachet 1/4 turn at a time.
Denny's team did a better job of adding or subtracting rubber spacers on the springs.
Denny's team did a better job of adding or subtracting a quarter pound of air in the tires.
Denny's team did a better job of not dropping the car off of the jack.
Denny's team did a better job of not leaving an air hose to get run over.
Most of all, Denny's team did the best job of only taking 2 tires on the last stop.
We have to face it, "stock car" racing is not about the driver any more.
It is all about getting a "lucky" set of tires from Goodyear.

I respect your comments, but I don't agree with them. : )
Denny did a better `job of driv'in : )
I believe, you can have the best driver in the World, but if he
doesn't have a Winner Team/Luck and Car, he will have a
difficult time Winning.
I believe, the `Driver is a Major ingredient in a Teams
Success.
Just my 69 cents worth : )
Be Happy/EnJoy
