Some excellent points made here. As for me, I am still shaking my head about the "whatever" we saw yesterday. It was not a race, imo.
Things I ponder. Big crashes usually occur on the straightaways or on the tri oval. So why change the rules for the curves only? JJ is the champion, foregone conclusion. Tell me how. The first 26 races, he was so-so and protected the points just enough to stay in the top 12. Then yesterday, he held back and stayed in the back (along with Tony and several others) and finally lucked out and finished 6th due to attrition from accidents and lack of fuel from others. How the heck does Nascar tout this as the greatest and proclaim him the best driver when all he does is manipulate (with help from others) the point system they have created? Throw in the fact that his crew chief is well known for cheating and pushing the grey area and we come up with the vanilla main stream hero with the beautiful wife that Nascar wants to represent them. Not my idea of a champion.
Brad Keslowski will be in the #12 the rest of year. Congrats, Brad. But tell me this: Why did only a couple of blogs or reporters mention that Brian Vickers got into Brad, therefore making him loose enough to get into Kurt Busch which caused that last wreck?

That's why 4 'titles' in the crapshoot format will NEVER equal or surpass one that took an entire season to won. JJ and Chad are fantastic at a 10 race sprint. Thus, the appropriately named trophy.
No one mentioned that Brad got pushed into Kurt because it's much more fun to label him as a bad driver. He has proved that, in spite of how he looks, he's as hard headed as Earnhardt Sr., and won't give an inch when it comes to winning. I think he really messed with Denyy Hamlin's head. Good for him!
