My Top 5 Is 48, 5, 42, 14, 16!
Howie (Alabama)
It would br nice to see MM win a championship!
Chevy88Amp (Big Rapids, MI)
Hey McGee, I know Johnson isn't one to sit back and cruise into a championship, you think he's going out with the intention to win the race today?
Ryan McGee (3:20 PM)
No doubt. He tried to cruise and Talladeg and Texas and it nearly cost him everything. I think he drop the hammer early. If he leads the first lap his magic number automatically jumps from 25th to 27th.
MAGIC MARK (COLO)

Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Go 48!
Rick (MA)
Do you think Jr feels a little left out this weekend? Bahhhhhhhhhhhh
Jeff (Pikeville,Ky)
good afternon
Ken (NJ)
Jimmie has great work ethics..he's great and a decent nice guy..but those slamming him would hate him for being a loud mouth wise ass..so you can't win either way
Ryan McGee (3:23 PM)
Even if you don't like Jimmie, seeing history is worth tuning in. And don't forget...he can still lose this thing.
'Cole Cruise (On Location)
I'm pukkin' for the real MnM. Marky Mark. Hope Kyle doesn't run off when he doesn't get the big, shiney Cup.
Thomas (MN)
History says that neither Johnson or Martin finish in the Top 5 today. I'm not betting against the 48 though, especially when he was more than a MPH faster than anybody else in qualifying.
dianeinla (los angeles)
My concern is Scott Speed will be so worried about JJ he'll brake check the whole outside line
Ken (NJ)
Ryan what does Mark have to do should something bad happen to Jimmie hopefully not of course...how high up does Mark have to finish
Ryan McGee (3:24 PM)
It all depends on how low the 48 finishes, but the goal for the 5 is pretty simple. Have a max points day like JJ had last week.
Ryan McGee (3:24 PM)
Love Mike Rowe.
wrapper (winter park fl)
He has to finish about 25 places better than JJ -- depending on laps led, etc.
Ken (NJ)
Interesting why some people are liked and some aren't...why not just root for car brands and let the women root for the handsomest guys
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Who Will Get The First Win Of 2009? Biffle Or Edwards?

Ryan McGee (3:26 PM)
One car to the back today for an engine change, the 7 of Robby Gordon. Robby is a little sore after running the Baja 1000 on Friday.
cp43 (CO)
Nice Start Your Engines!!! Whozat guy?
Ryan McGee (3:26 PM)
Mike Rowe! You ever see Dirty Jobs on Discovery Channel? Awesome show.
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Biffle Needs A Win!
Thomas (MN)
Martin has to finish in the Top 10 period to have any shot mathematically.
DHamsBiggestFan (Tempe, AZ)
Lets go Denny Hamlin, pull off the last win of the season. D has one of the best averages here at HMS, just FYI.
Ken (NJ)
wrapper thanks ...
chris virginia [via mobile]
Is it possible nascar would do anything to see jj win the championship so it would put media attention to the sport
trAcy jax,fl [via mobile]
hey im at jaguar game...wheres jimmie??
Ryan McGee (3:27 PM)
No green yet...coming in about 10 minutes.
dianeinla (los angeles)
ITS NOT NASCARS FIRST 50 YEAR OLD CHAMPION. Its the first 50 year old CUP champion
Ryan McGee (3:27 PM)
Good point.
Mark (Lex Vegas, KY)
If the 42 gets to the front, you'll hear a sound normally reserved for Dale Jr.
'Cole Cruise (On Location)
Pullin', rather. lol
Ryan McGee (3:28 PM)
We knew what you meant, CC.
Jeff (Pikeville,Ky)
mark and jj will be battlling it out before the 1st lap is over
Alex (OH)
Jimmie is gonna win, for sire
Howie (Alabama)
Come on Mark Martin!
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Where Did Biffle Qualify?
'Cole Cruise (On Location)
Let's find a dirty NASCAR job for Rowe to do.
Mike (Brazil)
Go Robby Gordon...2009 SCORE off-road Series Champion!!! Gas On
tommy c (scranton,pa)
mark m will win
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Go Jimmie Johnson! Do It Rockapella!
Ryan McGee (3:29 PM)
Lot of guys trying to get a win today to keep from getting skunked on the season - Biffle, Edwards, RCR, and oh yeah...some guy named Junior.
Chiller (Delaware)
Will the "halo" that's Marcos Ambrose said that everyone's gonna give the #48 affect other cars?
Ryan McGee (3:30 PM)
He was saying that he didn't want to be the guy that accidentally wrecked the 48, so he's going to give him a LOT of room on the track.
cp43 (CO)
Mike Rowe is same guy that did the ESPN show open voiceovers? All of those were intense!!
Ryan McGee (3:31 PM)
Yep...and he's a Ford spokesperson and a voices Deadliest Catch. A very good guy, too.
Ryan McGee (3:31 PM)
Jimmie on the radio just now: Johnson: "Guys, business as usual. Don't take your blinders off and lose focus. Be in a happy place. 400 good miles."
nick (scranton pa)
Go!! mark martin !!!
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Let's Get On Our Feets!
Jake Deakins (Mesa, Az)
Watch Speed and Ambrose tangle on lap one taking out johnson and martin...
Chiller (Delaware)
ok, ryan, but does it affect other cars trying to get to jimmie?
Ryan McGee (3:32 PM)
Oh yeah...they'll give Mark and Jimmie a lot of room today.
cp43 (CO)
Junior starts 33? DRINK!!!!!
Thomas (MN)
Chiller, Martin will probably get the same halo, though nobody's talking about that.
MAGIC MARK (COLO)
MARK 1ST JG 2ND JJ 27 OR WORSE. I WANT MARK TO WIN JJ WOULD STILL GET 2ND OR 3RD SAME WITH JG
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)

David (Kansas)
LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!!!!
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Come On Knaus Do It Good!
Rick (MA)
Don't know this track to well. Are there normally a lot of cautions?
Ryan McGee (3:33 PM)
Usually around 7-8 per race. When the temps change as the sun goes down it'll get goofy...
Ryan McGee (3:33 PM)
Green green green
Ryan McGee (3:34 PM)
If Jimmie leads the first lap, his magic number jumps from 25th to 27th
Jeff (Pikeville,Ky)
points leader has never won the homestead race
Howie (Alabama)
jj LEADS THE 1ST LAP
'Cole Cruise (On Location)
If we wanna get real technical, the series was Grand Nationl for a number of years, keepin' what we think of as "Cup" even younger than that.
nick (scranton pa)
me too magic mark
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Let's Go Green!
Mark (Lex Vegas, KY)
I don't think Montoya gives anybody a "halo." Just ask Schumacher.
Thomas (MN)
cp43, let's not get that started again. We probably got a few people drunk last time between Jr. and Danica.
Matt (Californy)
95% decided? 99%? What's the odds?
'Cole Cruise (On Location)
I'm sooo glad Homestead added some banking. Makes for much better racing.
Ryan McGee (3:35 PM)
Agreed. The first mini-Indy layout was a mess.
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
JJ Good Start!
Rob T. (Smyrna, DE)
F...JJ! I hope he crashes and burns...so sick of him winning. He has become NASCARS version of the Yankies
Chiller (Delaware)
I'll drink to that, Thomas
Ryan McGee (3:36 PM)
This morning Jimmie said he wasn't worried about 3 and 4, even though those were the trouble spots in the Nationwide race. He said he was more worried about the track changing when the sun went down.
'Cole Cruise (On Location)
Done, cp43.
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Where's Biffle?
kujo (hogwaller)
yo
Ryan McGee (3:37 PM)
A lot guys were asked about 3 and 4 after last night. Most plan to ride through those turns low and little slower. They said the trouble was when guys got too high in those turns.
Bob L (Phoenix)
Rob T needs to learn how to spell Yankees...
Jeff (Pikeville,Ky)
bif in 12th
nick (scranton pa)
8th place colin
Ken (NJ)
Rob knock it off!..he wins with out buying big name players from other teams..he races with the same cars and engines like everyone else..Yankees purchase big names and huge contracts..not the same thing
Duke (ME)
Fingers crossed for Mark Martin, though he'll need to hope the racing Gods are cross with Jimmie
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Where Is Tony Stewart?
George (NC)
What is the media being told about the issues between Brian
Duke (ME)
Fingers crossed for Mark Martin, though he'll need to hope the racing Gods are cross with Jimmie
Matt (Californy)
what's ambrose's paint scheme? it's too glossy to see!
Ryan McGee (3:38 PM)
Little Debbie Cup Cakes...mmmm...I love cupcakes.
Ryan McGee (3:39 PM)
Ambrose tried the bottom...didn't like it...passed on the high side. So much for that halo.
GT (Lawrence)
The difference between JJ and the Yankees though is he is a one man driving machine where the Yankees use money to get what they want Jerk
Elle (New York, NY)
I'm not too familiar with NASCAR. How long do the races normally last?
Ryan McGee (3:39 PM)
400 miles...little over 3 hours.
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Go 48 Go!!! This Is Your Day!
Tim (Duncan , S.C.)
In my transport listening on Sirius. Come on Mark!
'Cole Cruise33 (On Location)
Ambrose is awesome. Lock for the Chase next year. Not many can say they've gotten the knack of these cars so fast.
Thomas (MN)
I'll go out on a bit of a limb here. Top 5: 47, 14, 29, 24, 48...5 finishes 7th.

I've sworn off NASCAR until they fix their Jimmie Johnson problem. I'll be following the Indy Racing League next year.

Rick Hendrick = NASCAR's Steinbrenner
Ryan McGee (3:42 PM)
48 is now in the lead...Ambrose may have a tire going down...Montoya is screaming at his team about being loose.
Ryan McGee (3:42 PM)
Yep...Amborse down pit road. New configuration this year has guys a little confused.
GT (Lawrence)
If thats the case then why are the other members of Hendrick MS not winning like JJ
daniel (nashville)
yes! go jj
Ken (NJ)
Rinner all cars are in spec and have to pass inspections ..you don't have bigger engines or more horsepower depending what team you're on..if that's true everyone would race with Hendrick...
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
JJ Charging Back!

Vack48 (Dallas,Tx)

Chiller (Delaware)
With Toyota in NASCAR and VW at Homestead, what's the chance of other foreign manufacturers getting in (esp. Honda)
Ryan McGee (3:44 PM)
It's going to happen, just a matter of when and who. Honda is coming, they just aren't pushing it right now because of economic issues. VW reps were at the track on Saturday, but I'm betting they'll go Grand Am racing before they join NASCAR.
Elle (New York, NY)

NASCAR has destroyed "real" racing. It's now an orchstrated business that the "fun of racing" has been taken out of NASCAR events. Everyone get in line
Ryan McGee (3:44 PM)
48 radio issues...they fixed it.

Tim (Burick)

Vack48 (Dallas,Tx)
Ryan why did Ambrose pit
Ryan McGee (3:45 PM)
Flat tire. Brushed the wall.
Nick (Texas)
Wishing for someone to crash so someone else can benefit is wrong and rude and shows a lack of integrity
Bob L (Phoenix)
next logical choice for NASCAR is BMW
Ryan McGee (3:45 PM)
Could be. NASCAR requires a big presence in the USA as far as plants and workers. BMW owns South Carolina. VW is about to own Chattanooga.
bobby (nashville)
hate harvick
steve (rochester mn)
lets go jimmie!!!
Dave (VA)
Its bad enough with toyota in nascar now. No to honda! Nascar does need to start running camaro, mustang and challenger. Race sunday, buy monday!!

Come on Jr. What will it be this week? Bad car? Dust on the track? Tire going down? Etc. etc.
Brian (Portland , Ore.)
living on the west coast I would like to see Biffle do something
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Where's The Biff?
Ryan McGee (3:47 PM)
Biff is a good choice. He's won 3 of the last 5 here.
Andrew (New Jersey)
If American Automakers want to be world powers then they are going to have to beat the best. Bring on the Germans and Japanese

Jeff (Pikeville,Ky)
volkswagon officials are at the track today
cp43 (CO)
Junior is coming. He's 13th now so no drink.
Chiller (Delaware)
If Honda was to get in, would they try to bring NASCAR over to Twin Ring Motegi (asking as a research question)
Ryan McGee (3:48 PM)
Nope. Not yet.
Jacob (Manhattan, KS)

Ryan McGee (3:48 PM)
Big time. Up 19 spots from the start.

Ryan McGee (3:50 PM)
Ha...no...he'll get a $ fine.
AKMustangGirl (Juneau, AK)
Why does the TV say that R Gordon is racing in Matt Crafton's car??
Matt (Tennessee)
What's Crafton doing in the race? Is Robby doing some offroad race?

Ryan McGee (3:51 PM)
Engine is laying down.
Ken (NJ)
I believe NASCAR should remain American engineered and designed autos, although Gaston, Louis and Arthur Chevrolet are of French descent born in Switzerland
Dave (VA)
Ryan, how big of a smile did Hamlin put on your face when he sun Brad K. out yesterday? It's about time we had that back in Nascar. They were afraid of driver personality there for awhile.
Ryan McGee (3:52 PM)
It was pretty cool. And he did it in a place where he knew no one would get hurt.
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
2 Car Closing In On The Top 5!

AKMustangGirl (Juneau, AK)
I am seriously confused. Is that Crafton or R Gordon in the 7??
Ryan McGee (3:53 PM)
Ambrose issue is electrical.
Ryan McGee (3:54 PM)
Matt Crafton practiced and qualified the 7 while Robby was at the Baja 1000. Robby is in there now.

Well, I guess my limb sure snapped in a hurry.

Did Robbie make it back in time from playing in the dirt?
Ryan McGee (3:54 PM)
Yes. Robby is in the 7. Crafton qualified it for him while he was at Baja.
Jacob (Manhattan, KS)
I cant believe it. It only took 37 laps for Jr. to get into the top 10
David (Kansas)
DISCLAIMER: There is no video online, 10% of posts make it in and Robby Gordon is in the 7.
bryce (washington?)
crafton is a truck series driver and he is driving for robby...robby won the score offroad series championship yesterday

whats the pit window'
Ryan McGee (3:57 PM)
Pit window is 50-55 laps.
Vack48 (Dallas,Tx)
10 laps till pits
Chiller (Delaware)
I'll pose the same question to the expert...Ryan Sprint Cap oval race outside the U.S.?
Ryan McGee (3:57 PM)
Not anytime soon...but eventually yes. Japan or Europe.
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Go 48 Take It Back!
Rob T. (Smyrna, DE)
Mike-JJ will wreck...my voodoo hex on him is already in play! hahaha
Matt (Californy)
Oval, no. Road? Maybe.
AKMustangGirl (Juneau, AK)
Does the fact that Crafton qualified for Gordon keep those folks who have Robbie on their Stock Car Fantasy team from getting any points for this race?
Ryan McGee (3:58 PM)
You should be good. He's the driver that started the race.
JK71 (Michigan)
How bout that. no start and parks yet
john (( work ))
Hamlin should of been parked, He advertised what he was going to do.Everyone cheered because Brad saved it.

For all of you in the Start and Park Sweepstakes, if you had Michael McDowell on lap 36 you're a winner
doug17171717 (Oklahoma)
Fastest car on the track by .23 sec is the 88
mokieman (flying to atl)
i sure hope mm wins
Dave (VA)
No more tracks outside the US. They need to fix it as it is now. Real fans want Rockingham and North Wilkseboro added back to the schedule! Ryan approves this message
Ryan McGee (3:59 PM)
Yes I do! I'll see you at the Rock and Wilkes for Pro Cup next year!
jourdan (michigan)
tony stewart sucks
Ryan McGee (3:59 PM)
Stewart big lead. Johnson second.
steven (ks)
no
bryce (washington?)
why is McDowell a start and park if he is sponsored?
cp43 (CO)
Jeez. Mike Rowe is simultaneously live interviewed on radio and seen on ESPN in a truck commercial. Good agent.
steven (ks)
there goes fire
Matt (Californy)
I'd like a few more years to get Fontana working out... new layout?
Michelle (NJ)
I miss seeing a race at North Wilkesboro.
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Martin Back To 6th!
Duke (ME)
Think Brad will find Hamlin today?
Ryan McGee (4:00 PM)
Nope. But I bet he'll find him next spring.
Ryan McGee (4:00 PM)
88 is wicked fast right now.

doug17171717 (Oklahoma)
if the 88 gets a few cautions to get caught up look out. He may walk off and leave everyone.

does volkswagon even have a v8 in the program
Ryan McGee (4:01 PM)
No, but they are the world's biggest car maker now.

Not anymore.
Ryan McGee (4:04 PM)
Don't freak out if your order is all scrambled on RaceCast...green flag pit stops happening.
Ryan McGee (4:04 PM)
Everyone is screaming on the radio about the cars skating in the turns. That's expected with the sun out. They should tighten up when the sun goes down and the track cools.
steven (ks)
yeah

I didn't care if Hamlin was parked Cole. What I wanted to know is NASCAR isn't following precedent
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Where's The 2?
Ryan McGee (4:05 PM)
On pit road. Stayed out to lead a lap. They are trying to catch Gordon in points.
Dave (VA)
Ryan, they are actually racing today! Wonder if it's because they are not racing on a "cookie cutter" track again. Cookie cutter=boring race
Ryan McGee (4:05 PM)
Yeah, and this one used to be. Kudos to the folks for blowing it up and starting over. Twice.
Duke (ME)
Abrose had a cut tire AND an electrical problem?
Rick (MA)
Didn't the 29 get parked is this series for a race for something he did the day before in the Busch series a couple years ago?

Trucks. At Martinsville. The car wasn't parked, but Harvick was.

I hope y'all are right about the Fantasy points. I show Robbie as having no part of this race on my current point standings. He is not showing as active on the list of 5 drivers on my team. :(

Not all cookie cutters are boring. Just 99 percent of them

Deserve has 0 to do with it. MM is too conservative to ever be more than 2nd, plus he's satisfied with that. No iller instinct.

All Hendrick in top 7. Chevys top 8.

I hope Jeff Gordon wins today. My thoughts are with the Hendrick family.
bryce (washington?)
37 parked....also a sponsored car...what the heck?
Ryan McGee (4:14 PM)
Just because a car has sticker on it doesn't mean it has enough to actually field a pit crew and race.
Duke (ME)
How are stands? fairly full or lot of empty seats?
Ryan McGee (4:14 PM)
Not bad. Looked weak in the prerace, but has filled in nicely.
Dave (VA)
Langley speedway still has great races there, It's kinda sad people rather go watch a lower nascar tier at that track than go see CUP. Maybe nascar needs to listen to fans about tracks
Ryan McGee (4:15 PM)
Love Langley. Went there with a bunch of Navy guys a long time ago...and of course Schrader was there racing.
Pattrick (ani ida con)
Who got parked??
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)

Looking big-picture... do you think JJ can win 7 championships or will he hit a wall like so many others before him? A few years ago would've bet on Gordon to do it, but now it seems awfully unlikely...

Waltrip going to part time next year, who is going to step in the other half?
Ryan McGee (4:46 PM)
No one. Truex joins the team. MW runs here and there.
IkeK (OH)
How tall is Jimmie Johnson? He looked pretty short on that ESPN special.
Ryan McGee (4:47 PM)
He's my height, 5-10. Most of these guys are smallish. First time I met Mario Andretti I couldn't believe how tiny he was.

Ryan McGee (4:48 PM)
Honestly, it hasn't been as bad as I expected.
'Cole Cruise33 (On Location)
Maybe evryone should just back off and JJ lap the field out of respect, Manny?! Weaksauce, bro.

Big accordion crash on pit road. The 19 got the worst of it. 42 is wrecked after a run-in with Smoke. Smoke has left front damage. 5 just made giant chassis adjustments and the 48 beat them all off pit road. Chaos!

Despite what NASCAR PR might tell you, that raced was baaaad.
Matt (Tennessee)
frank d-how do you say montoya shouldn't be in nascar? this is his 3rd year in a stock car and is doing this good! just wait until next year,when he gets a couple wins!

If Nascar were to add another road course, what do you think about Miller Motor Sports park here in Utah?

I would love it.

If Nascar did add a Utah race would you rather have them the 2 1/2 half track or the 4 mile full speedway (with a staight away longer than an airport runway). Also is it in Nascars plans to add another road course?

Atlanta is the best track that doesn't require restrictor plates... taking away a race is like taking the fall race at Darlington away
Ryan McGee (5:14 PM)
Agreed. But NASCAR hates seeing those empty seats. However, they did a great job of getting people to come for their first Chase race this year.

Gordon can't win. He was elimanated when Jimmie started.

Speaking of RPM, Evernham wants out.

What do you think about the recent turn around of the RCR cars with 3 in the top 8 right now?
Ryan McGee (5:15 PM)
I think it's great. RC told me that they did something they shouldn't have with the cars. They have it fixed now, obviously.
'Cole Cruise33 (On Location)
Except for Daytona and Dega. 4 plate races is generally barely enough, as is.

Ryan McGee (5:16 PM)
Pitted when a lot of others did not. So did JJ.
Waldo (Long Island)
sterling marlin retiring? again?
Jerry (Wellington, NZ)
Question: What would happen if NASCAR implemented a V8 Supercar-type weekend with two halved races? Would the racing be better? So instead of one 400 mile race, you raced in two 200 mile races and the culminative positions dictate your points weekend with winning bonuses.
Ryan McGee (5:16 PM)
Jerry, anything NASCAR could do to be more like V8 Supercar I am all for it. Supercar rocks.
JK71 (Michigan)

Ryan McGee (5:30 PM)
Limits horsepower by restricting the amount of air that makes it into the carburetor.
Josh (Iowa)
I think GM should build more cars that emulate their NASCAR builds, why discontinue the Impala SS?
eric (michigan)
48.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz another championship. yawn!
Springfield Missouri [via mobile]
Jr. needs better luck next year! He's a superior driver!
Travis (Buffalo, NY)
A restrictor plate makes races look like demolition derby!!!!!!!
Urban (Gainseville, Fl.)
DIscrtimination noyhing thids is a full american sport. not much authentic american stuff left.
eric (michigan)
restict!
pwb (pa)
nascar needs real cars
Jason (Pittsburgh)
It restricts the amount of airflow into the engine, limiting RPM which keeps the horsepower down.
Steve (Florida)
drive slow, lol
ruben (vermont)
they should have parked them both.
Paul (Raleigh, NC)
Man after my own heart Luke
Steven (Wingate)
What's the biggest reason that Carl hasn't won a race this season?
Ryan McGee (5:31 PM)
Green green green...11 and 2 battling for the lead. 11 chose the outside lane.
Van Hylant (Thompsson Falls, MT)
Glad to see that Joey and Denney are not do'n what they did yesterday!!1
Ryan McGee (5:31 PM)
Oooohhhh...Jimmie get away from Hornish!
Josh (Iowa)
I think he's just been a victim of bad luck, but he'll come through next season, this was just a one-off season for him.
Lary (Moses Lake)
Is JJ getting close to wrapping this up?
Ken (NJ)
eric hey too bad...when you're good over a period of time you dominate..he won't forever ...probably an idiot like Kyle Busch will start winning then you JJ Haters can love that...at least Johnson's a nice guy
Daniel (Valdosta, GA)
Ryan do you think the bump drafting rules at Dega will be in full effect at Daytona, thus taking out amazing race at the SuperBowl of our sport?
Ryan McGee (5:32 PM)
No...they'll be a little different.
eric (michigan)
keeps cars from going 200 and ending up in the stands... in theory!
SCN (Richmond, VA)
Would JJ have won any championships based on the old point system and same race results in last 4 years?
Ryan McGee (5:33 PM)
I think two of the three. And for the record, he'd have won this one anyway. He led Smoke by 8 points today in the old system.
Ryan McGee (5:33 PM)
Man...the 48 is really having to snake his way through some crazy racing.
Ryan McGee (5:33 PM)
Easily the most competitve Cup race we've seen at Homestead.
Cody (TX)
You people forget-- if the old points system would still be in effect, the drivers would have raced completely differently. You can't compare them.
Urban (Gainseville, Fl.)
After we win anther Nat'l Championship, were going to the Daytona 500.
Tyler (Greenville,SC)
i definatlely vote hms puts more money into dale jr's crew
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
How's The 11?
Ryan McGee (5:34 PM)
Leading.
ruben (vermont)
just put danica in the 88 car im sure she would have betting finishes lol
dan (texas)
Kasy will finish better than Kyle,Johnson Martin and Gordon;hmmmmmm....
MAGIC MARK (COLO)
REAL BIG ONE COMIN SOON
Ken (NJ)
SCN yes..in fact he would have won one of his championships by a larger margin if I recall correctly
Ken Lawson (Vancouver BC)
I love NASCAR I wish I could go to a race live, we need a track in the Pacific Northwest, I would like one right on the border half in the USA and half in Canada
Ryan McGee (5:34 PM)
They've been trying! But the local government has shot down two different proposals.
eric (michigan)
11's a baby!
Yawar (Frederick, MD)
I agree w/ AL. DISCRIMINATION
Cornelus (ATL)
I luv Nascar. Go Mark
Josh (Iowa)
I'm not a huge fan of Homestead, more an IRL track to me.
Ryan McGee (5:35 PM)
I wasn't until tonight.
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
JJ Making A Comeback!
eric (michigan)
is it jimmie johnson or chad knaus? i'd go with chad and any top 10 driver...
Ryan McGee (5:35 PM)
Both. People forget, but for a few years Jimmie's talent was outrunning Chad's calls.
Cody (TX)
Eric is right on.
Tyler (Greenville,SC)
of course jj is making a comeback
jim (in)
here comes jimmy johnson
Cornelus (ATL)
Whose your guy Ryan?
Ryan McGee (5:36 PM)
Richard Petty!
rich44 (wi)
whatsup with the 5 car no tv
Ryan McGee (5:36 PM)
They just updated him. He's 13th. Currently 135 points behind JJ.
Michael (NC)
Jimmie is eating up the competetion
GONZALEZ (SAN DIEGO)
I LIVE IN SAN DIEGO AND ARE FOOOTBALL TEAM IS LOOKING GOOD
Ken Lawson (Vancouver BC)
I have playing ESPN Fanatasy Racing since it started and I do not remember when that was!
jim (in)
48 gonna win
Ken (NJ)
now Hendrick guys of course
Blake (Delaware)
Why not have the last race at Lowe's so drivers can be close to home?
Ryan McGee (5:37 PM)
Too cold! But my wife would love that.
Daniel (Valdosta, GA)
Ryan in what way do you think the drafting rules will be different between Talladega and Daytona? And why?
Ryan McGee (5:38 PM)
More defined. I bet we'll see actualy rules instead of "Hey don't do this" at the last second before the race like we had at Talldega.
'Cole Cruise33 (On Location)
Could you imagine a Superbowl where tackling was frowned upon? That's essentially what NASCAR did to Dega. And the worst part? They aren't even ashamed of it.
Ken (NJ)
Never a Petty fan..always like Cale Yarborough
cp43 (CO)
PETTY RULEZ!
Ken (NJ)
then Davey Allison
Ryan McGee (5:39 PM)
I could never pull for the Allisons because of their rivalry with the Pettys. But I am good friends with Bobby now. He knows I used to boo him. He thinks it's funny.
Nick (Charlotte)
Somebody needs to wreck 48 and push Martin to the lead. He deserves it.
jeff (fort worth)
nascar doesn't want racing, it wants$$$$
kenny (tx)
Awsome Bill from Dawsonville
Andy (MD)
Smoke and his team will be better next year. I hope he FINALLY win the Daytona 500 next February.
Lj (Ny)
lol
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Swervin' Ernie Irvan!
Matt (Californy)
diggin' the blimp cam this week.
Dave (Denver)
NASCAR has to do something to make it more exciting. The restrictor plate races are boring, and there needs to be more points for actually winning.
jimmie (bensalem)
nascars all bout money
Jason (Pittsburgh)
Tim Richmond!
'Cole Cruise33 (On Location)
'JJ making a comeback' is the oxymoron of the day, hands down.
IkeK (OH)
Actually what they did was more like not allowing horse collar tackles.
Ken (NJ)
nice
Cody (TX)
Because of the CoT, every restrictor plate race from here on out will end with a wreck.
cp3 (ca)
Carl is closing in!
Josh (Iowa)
I didn't even realize T. Labonte was racing today, good for the former Hendrick mainstay.
Ryan McGee (5:42 PM)
Kurt into the lead.
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Come On 48!
marty (FOWLER, CA.)
NOW WHAT IS THE POINTS LEAD
Ryan McGee (5:42 PM)
48 is up 135.
JEL (San Francisco)
C'mon blue Deuce!
JJ Sr (Florida)
Go Son, Go!!!
Steven (Wingate)
Ryan, what do you think of the Hamlin/Keselowski feud?
Ryan McGee (5:43 PM)
As a writer, I think it is awesome. It has given us something other than JJ to talk/write about!
Tyler (Greenville,SC)
bs
jim (ne)
Evernham and Gordon back together look out
Michael (NC)
lets go 48
Scot (GA)
Jr. needs to go back to DEI!
prostock 31 (R.I.)
nascar should make them run on 8inch tyres
Tyler (Greenville,SC)
haha like it matters
JASON ABEND (MITC HELL)
LETS GO JIMMIE JOHNSON
Ryan McGee (5:44 PM)
Wow! Did you see that brake rotor rip a hole in the 9 car's roof?
Otis (Georgia)
I think that Nascar should change the format for the chase and make it mostly at tracks that the series dosent normaly run at like a mix of road courses and superspeedways, short tracks and one dirt track
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Montoya Has To Go Back To A Dodge!
MAGIC MARK (COLO)
I DONT BLAME MARK ITS RATINGS MARK HAS ONLY US OLD PEOPLE JG HAS HIS RECENT VICS JJ HAS ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ONLY CAN REMEMBER YESTERDAY DE WELL I DNT KNOW MAYBEE BUDWEISER
Bob (Anchorage)
lap spds are down...how soon for pits
jim (ne)
Evernham and Gordon back together look out
Ryan McGee (5:46 PM)
Jimmie just told his team that he could drive harder, but is asking about fuel mileage. Everyone seems to be thinking that we might be able to go green to the end. I respectfully disagree.
Chuck (Gays Mills, WI)
Where's the Biff?
Mike (Amarillo)
The Juan Pablo needs to take his Columbian act back home!
John (Canada)
suddenly a commercial breaks out !!!!
Ryan (Susky, PA)

booboo (fla)

Andy (MD)
What are the chances of JJ 5-peat next year?
Ryan McGee (5:47 PM)
I'd say pretty damn good. Until someone actually beats him, I'll keep expecting him to win.
MAGIC MARK (COLO)
JJ MM JG
Nick (OH)
Has this biff between Stewart and Montoya been happening for a while or just start today when they grinded early on?
Ryan McGee (5:47 PM)
Been simmering for a while.
Lary (Moses Lake)
Ryan, i believe it is attention to details much like the one you just mentioned that sets these guys apart
Ryan McGee (5:48 PM)
Totally agree. It's like Ben Hogan's great line about Jack Nicklaus, "He plays a game with which I am not familiar."
Dave (VA)
That brake rotor was similar to the F1 incident. That rotor ripped through the helmet.
Ryan McGee (5:48 PM)
Good point. Good to have a roof, huh?
Jeff (Phoenix)
Biff sucks. Who cares
Ryan McGee (5:49 PM)
Today, sadly, he does. Running 19th.

Zach (CA)
Montoya needs to go back to mexico
Matt (Californy)

cory (mn)

Ryan McGee (5:51 PM)
Leaders are pitting now...
Ryan McGee (5:52 PM)
BTW, totally impressed with Shannon Speacht on pit road. She is giant pregnant right now.
Ryan McGee (5:53 PM)
Off pit road - 11-31-18-2-33-24-29-1-48-9...everyone took 4 tires except the 9.
Ryan McGee (5:53 PM)
Props to the 11 crew. They were bad for years, but this year they've been great.
Lary (Moses Lake)
I agree Ryan, I will never understand the JJ haters. And for the record i don't really have a favorite driveri just respect their dedication and consistant excellence
Colin Cropley (Scarborough, ME)
Well Happy Thanksgiving! Congratulations To JJ And Knaus!
Oh Yeah! (Destin, FL)
I though Shannon was trying to steal a helmet.
Ryan McGee (5:54 PM)
Very funny...I will tell her that. She's having twins. I told he she needs to name them Marty and Ryan after me and Smith.
ashley north (waynesboro pa)
Earnhardt-Ganassi are going to kick ass in 2010
harry (ks)

cp43 (CO)
If Shannon is a Earnhardt fan, she should name them Chip and Dale.
Ryan McGee (5:55 PM)
Now that's funny.
harry (ks)
you too my friend....adios
Ben (VA)
If Martin doesn't take the lead in the next 15 laps he won't be able to lead the most laps, another cushion for Jimmie
Brett (AL)
any wedge ajustments
Ryan McGee (5:56 PM)
Some, but mostly in the back of the lead lap. Most of the leaders made air pressure if anything.
IkeK (OH)
How many laps before JJ is back in 4th?
debbie king (jesup georgia)
the biff is 22!
Rob (CO)
Don't be stupid. Juan Pablo is from Colombia.
Ryan McGee (5:57 PM)
Green green green...Hamlin chooses outside lane...and he gets a challenge from Jeff Burton! 31 into the lead.
MAGIC MARK (COLO)
CAUTION I CALLED IT 198 194 SORRY THERE WILL BE ONE MORE BIG ONE AND JJS INVOLVED MARK GOT EITHER THIS TIME AND WILL WIN AND JJ 30TH
Ryan McGee (5:57 PM)
Wow...inside lane suddenly works on restart and Burton suddenly makes it stick on a restart. He'd been terrible.
Ryan McGee (5:57 PM)
48 is 9th, stuck back in a wad.
Andy (Salinas, CA)
Where does 48 have to finish to win the title?
Ryan McGee (5:58 PM)
Right where he is.
Steven (NY)
What happend to 14, 88 and the 42 car?

Denny Hamlin all the way
debbie king (jesup georgia)

Ted (Albuquerque)
48 has a pair
jon (hartford ct)
nah he's in 15th
Ryan McGee (6:01 PM)
Busch brothers fighting for 2nd. They don't really like each other.
Jeff (Pikeville,Ky)
RCR will be the top team in 2010
Ben (Dover)
Well at least Jr. showed he could still race a car at the beginning of the day. That is why he should go back to the Nationwide series. He can win those shorter races
IkeK (OH)
Normally I only miss a race for softball season.
debbie king (jesup georgia)
where is robby gordon at?
Ryan McGee (6:02 PM)
Wrecked.
IkeK (OH)
Racing is fun when they actually race. I turned it off last week for the first time in about 3 years.
Ryan McGee (6:02 PM)
It was bad. But tonight has been great.

Ryan McGee (6:03 PM)
No.
Curt (MN)
Has stewart retalitated against Montoya yet?
Ryan McGee (6:04 PM)
No. But I'd keep an eye on them after the race.
Jim (Back in the Day) (PA)
JJ looks like a lock, but remember the 1992 Hooters 55 -- It ain't over till it's completely over
Ryan McGee (6:04 PM)
True. Davey had it sewn up and was wrecked by Ernie Irvan.
Ben (Dover)
wonder if there will be a conspiracy next year to where other drivers wreck JJ so he cant get
Ryan McGee (6:05 PM)
There's always talk about that kind of stuff...never happens.
Matt (Californy)
he never blows it... it would be nice now and then, though.
Ted (Albuquerque)
Yeah he has won three straight blowing at the end
rich44 (wi)
no way
Jim B (Homestead, FL)
Ryan, do you think NASCAR will hammer the 14 and 48 come Tuesday or just put them on probation until the end of the season? :)
Ryan McGee (6:05 PM)
Hahaha. $ fines will be coming.
Joe (Des Moines, IA)
I think they like racing eachother
Brett (Florence, AL)
looks like JJ gonna get another one ain't he?
galpal (NC)
I think they need to start the conspiracy this race
brett (farve)
does jj have it locked yet?
Ryan McGee (6:06 PM)
Not yet. Not enough cars have dropped out.
Ben (VA)
Martin can not get maximum points
Otis (Georgia)
I dont see JR staying with Hendrick when his contract expires unless things really change before it expires
MAGIC MARK (COLO)
TODAY FOR TV RIGHTS A BIG ONE IS IN ORDER LIKE MM 3 WKS AGO HE FINISHED 29 NOW JJ NEEDS TO FINISH 30TH MARK 2ND MM WINS

Living in South Carolina, kicking back.
'Cole Cruise33 (On Location)
How come brett doesn't know how to spell his own last name???
Paul (waterboro, me)
your just jealous there ted cause you blow at the end and jimmie is the man
Joe (Des Moines, IA)
Jimmie is a great driver....people need to give the man credit he has been good since he entered this serise and he shows no real signs of slowing down
Ben (Dover)
Brett Favres inspiration was Mark Martin, and both will end up short
debbie king (jesup georgia)
ryan i agree with on the stewart and jpm thing!!!
galpal (NC)

Ryan McGee (6:07 PM)

Ben (Dover)

Ryan McGee (6:09 PM)
Yes. The 42 wrecked the 14 later after being warned not to.
Ryan McGee (6:10 PM)
Wow...the 2 took 2 tires?
Paul (waterboro, me)

Rick (MA)
Why would you take 2 tires now? Doesn't make sense too me.
Matt (Californy)
Jimmie takes 2?
Dan (Overland Park, KS)
Why all the caution flags?
Ryan McGee (6:10 PM)
Mostly one-car wrecks or tech issues.
Brian (tx)
no, there will be another caution after the restart. jimmie involved and mark martin begins his race to the championship
Josh (TX)
Juans got a temper
Chris (Ann Arbor)
I don't see why the 2 should take 2 tires when he was so close to the front.
Kyle (tx)
do you think Danica will race in nascar any next year
Ryan McGee (6:11 PM)
Yes. For Dale Junior's team.
D. nash (Gaylord mi)

He's not happy. He's been gracious about all of this, but he liked having that record.
craig (new york)
i cnt stand the bush bros
Rob R. 48 FAN (wa)
go go go jimmy
Chris (Philadelphia)
my man gordon making a come back!
Tim (KY)
Whether you like JJ or not you have to give it to him he is one helluva driver
Eric (Boston,MA)
How many titles do you think JJ can win in a row? and will we ever see a perfect season?
Ryan McGee (6:22 PM)
He can certainly win 5. It all depends on whether or not that can keep the whole team together, which they have managed to do thus far.
Steve (Florida)
Could you imagine a BCS-like system in NASCAR? LOL
Bryan (Omaha)
Nascar should never have tried to relate/compete with other sports nothing was broken about the system and fans for the most part enjoyed it
bryce (walla walla)
nite y'all im off to work...go jeff burton, and CAT
Ryan McGee (6:23 PM)
Hang in there Bryce, thanks for stopping by.
scott (me)
screw jimmie
Ben (Dover)
My bet is Jr. Makes the chase next year, only becuse it is an even year. Jr has made the chase every even year
MAGIC MARK (COLO)
4th car hendrucks doesnt wat de
that guy (pen)

craig (new york)
HENDRICK IS ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS OF LL TIME!!
Ryan McGee (6:24 PM)
Carl is so cool. In the middle of a race and walking us through a lap over the radio and TV?!
'Cole Cruise33 (On Location)
Dale Jr gets Bud back, that's what he would get.
Shar (NJ)
JPM should have known not to mess with Smoke, cuz ya mess with smoke you'll get burned!
bryce (walla walla)
till next year...its been lots of fun
me (usa)
just like the yankees bought the world series, rick hendrick bout the championship
patches (the nati)
so jj has it in the bag no matter happens
Ryan McGee (6:24 PM)
Not yet. If he were to blow up right now he could still lose it.
Daytona'10 (lawschool library)
Johnson may win 5 but NASCAR will lose fans, pick your poison
Duke (ME)
A perfect season? 36 wins? can't be done. I don't think Petty even won that many races in a single season, even when they ran 50 events a year
Otis (Georgia)
Oh yea for all the Georgis fans out there, RIP Ugh VII
just me (west of here)
JJ has tranny problems on lap 257 , Mark finishes 9th and still loses by 3 points... Ouch
Brett (Florence, AL)
thats game johnson has won the NASCAR Sprint Cup four years in a row
Quentin (Green Bay)
Jimmie is gonna have the championship record by the time his career's over. Well, as long as he stays with Hendrick Motorsports and Chad Knaus.
TheKid (Pa.)
Back in the day, people thought Petty was bad for the sport. Same with Cale, Earnhardt Sr. and Gordon ... Years from now, it will be someone else ...
Jim (Back in the Day) (PA)
Wasn't John Dillinger from Indiana too?
John (MI)
Why hate JJ so much. NASCAR has done all it can to make the cars as een as posssible. It only makes sense the driver with the most talent, best luck and best crew wins. That has been and is hands down the 48 team.
Marty (denver)
rather root for JJ than the yankees!
Tim (KY)
Has Martin announced his plans after this season?
Ryan McGee (6:26 PM)
Two more years.
matt (work)
I dont like JJ and he is ruining the sport for me...NASCARs golden child....I am so mad right now
Riley (NC)
Nascar has already lost lots of fans because of boring racing and boring cookie cutter tracks. Listen to the fans nascar
Tony (KS)
you mean UGA
Ben (Dover)
I'll tell you who is bad for the sport. Dale Jr.
Otis (Georgia)
Its pretty much over...Congrats JJ
Phil (SC)
Cale was the man back in the day, I pulled for him for years!
Ryan McGee (6:27 PM)
Loved him on Duke of Hazzard.
Thomas (MN)
NASCAR has been losing fans for a while now...between the Crap of Tomorrow, Chase, cookie cutter tracks, top 35 rule for qualifying, yellow line rule on the plate tracks, etc.
craig (new york)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!
Ryan McGee (6:27 PM)
Thanks Craig.
TheKid (Pa.)
Please Matt (work). If NASCAR has tried to push anyone on us it was Earnhardt Jr.!
IkeK (OH)
I think this has been a good race to bring the fans back next year. Lead changes, paint swapping, running side by side.
Ryan McGee (6:28 PM)
It's been a great race. Homestead hasn't exactly been the home of excitement.
Howie (Alabama)
Alot of the credit has to go to Chad!
Matt (Tampa)
Did Montoya ever say anything about Smoke wreckin him
Ryan McGee (6:28 PM)
Uh yeah, raised hell until he got up to him to wreck him!
matt (work)
your right too Ben
Otis (Georgia)
I vote for JJ going to F-1 when his contract is up
Jeff Tuttle (Ireland)
all the way JJ
Ryan McGee (6:28 PM)
20 to go...
Riley (NC)
Easily one of the top 5 best races of the year
Darwin (Ga)
Come on Kyle! Win it. Congrats Jimmie on the title.
Smoke 'em if you can (With Tony)
You know, I can't hate Jimmy for being successful but, he's kinda the Pete Sampras of NASCAR. Very good, but nobody cares. He's no Stewart, Gordon or Agassi if you follow that.
Phil (SC)
This has been one of the best races this year!
Rob R. 48 FAN (wa)
20 laps to go guess who the champ is
matt (work)
Its ok...I dont like him either...No talent just a name
HBK (SC)
hey martin should win this one just so he can retire
Jake (Naperville, IL)
4 years in a row.. thats crazy
marty (FOWLER, CA.)
WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE , SHOULD HE DRIVE SLOWER

Brett (Florence, AL)
look at 44 comin up where did he come from?
John (MI)
A dukes of Hazard reference. Was that really necessary?
Ryan McGee (6:30 PM)
Heck yeah...Cale was on it, after all!
Cregen (Elgin, IL)
is everyone good to go pit/fuel wise?
Ryan McGee (6:30 PM)
Yep.
Thomas (MN)
Smoke 'em, Gordon was just like Johnson when he was winning championships.
Kyle (St. Louis)
What is the deal with spelling? Is it just the inability to use a keyboard or a complete lack of education?
Joe (Des Moines, IA)
there are enough rules and enough inspections of these cars to keep the guys from being able to cheat so anyone who claims one drive cheats has no clue what they are talking about
Cody (TX)
Hey, I liked Sampras more than Agassi.
matt (work)
no just stop winning
CJ (GA)
ICAM IkeK
Riley (NC)
Ryan, did you catch that f1 race at Abu Dhabi. So, thats what a billion dollars can build you. What a track...
Ryan McGee (6:31 PM)
No joke. I'd love to see stock cars rumble through that joint.

David (Kansas)
You know, I'd rather have JJ win 4-in-a-row than a non-Hendrick driver do it.
Ben (Dover)
the 48 fails post race inspection and loses 150 pts. handing mark the championship
Ryan McGee (6:32 PM)
That sounds like something they'd do to Mark, not Jimmie!
DL (Cali)
hope the 48 motor lets go right now!
HBK (SC)
denny should crash and get everyone in a wreck except gordon and johnson
cp43 (CO)
Did Cale drive the General Lee??
Ryan McGee (6:32 PM)
No, but that would've been cool.
Tim (KY)
Why does everyone hate a winner? Even if the owners are filthy rich you still have to play the game or in this case drive the car
steve (Atlanta)
hey guys dont hate the driver hate the system
BOOOO (NC)
hamlin has a bright future ahead of him...good ol VA boy
Matt (Californy)
dark horse chaser for 2010 prediction?
Ryan McGee (6:33 PM)
How about Keselowski at Penske? Or Truex at MWR?
John (MI)
We can't spell? The guy who made the keyboard couldn't even put the leters in order.
Ryan McGee (6:34 PM)
That is actually a great point.
rich44 (wi)

Yessir. Unless you hate that guy. Then I'm someone else.
Austin (Denver)
In 2011, Kahne drives the........
Ryan McGee (6:34 PM)
6 car at Roush?
Lary (Moses Lake)
Greg Biffle
Brett (Florence, AL)
what is hamlins prospect for next year is he a chase contender?
Ryan McGee (6:35 PM)
Oh yeah. He's a Cup contender.
Ryan McGee (6:35 PM)
I think Pat Tryson's decision to put 2 tires on the 2 car instead of 4 is going to cost Kurt a shot at finsihing as high as second in points.
Jeff Tuttle (Ireland)
NASCAR was losing fans (and respect) with Kyle Busch winning (with extra horsepower)
Tony (Florence, KY)
The reason why NASCAR's ratings are down boils down to one word... parity. The NFL has it and their ratings are through the roof. Everyone knows that once the chase comes, Jimmie will win it because that's what's happened the past 4 seasons. Until somebody beats him, no one will watch the races.
steve (Atlanta)
JJ is no talent just a name huh? not like the guy driving 88, he is just a bag full of talent isn't he. That is the only mistake Rick Hendricks has made i nthe past 4 years is hiring that moron...
Joe (Des Moines, IA)
juan pable is due he needs to rien in his temper though
jim (ny,ny)
so has jimmie clinched it yet???
Ryan McGee (6:36 PM)
Nope...it'll come with the checkers.
Mark Martin (My Car at 100 )
I'm going to come in 2nd next year, I can bet ya that!
johnny (OKLA)
no but he is about to
IkeK (OH)
So was the 2 tires his good bye flipoff to Kurt?
Ryan McGee (6:37 PM)
Actually, my apologies. Kurt is up to 3rd.
Austin (Denver)
Tony, Parody is spelled P-A-R-O-D-Y, not party.
Ryan McGee (6:38 PM)
Actually, it's parity.
MAGIC MARK (COLO)
MARK LOST 26 PLACES CUZ OF JJ
Jeff Tuttle (Ireland)
JJ all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
IkeK (OH)
lol
MAGIC MARK (COLO)
MM RULES JJ SUCKS JG IS BETTER DE SUCKS
'Clintonite33 (On Location)
Until the Duels...go fast, turn left, and remember...rubbin's racin'!
Michael (MI)
Do u think that they should extend the Chase to more races???
Ryan McGee (6:38 PM)
No, but I'd like to see them change the track lineup.
Ben (Dover)
have you told Jr. to leave the country yet?
Ryan McGee (6:39 PM)
I have. He just smiled.
bailey (al)
jj is in 5 go jj 48
Ryan McGee (6:39 PM)

BRYAN HENRY (ROOSEVELT EXT21)
AYE!!!!!
Jeff Gordon (Homestead, MI)

Oh Yeah! (Destin, FL)
IT racin please stop the spell checks. I feel like i are taking a eglish test.
wakeman ohio [via mobile]
Nascar this year did not get my attention like yrs past
Austin (Denver)
Hamlin wins, Johnson is champ. See you next year.
Alex (MO)
The keyboard used to be in alphabetical order until typists were typing so fast that the ink was never able to fully dry... so they changed it to the modern QWERTY keyboard
Ryan McGee (6:39 PM)
See, you learn all kinds of stuff in the RaceCast chat.
Ryan McGee (6:40 PM)
Hamlin wins is 4th race...Johnson wins his 4th Cup.
Ryan McGee (6:40 PM)
Wow...never thought we'd see that.
Robert (Ca.)
Gratz Denny and JJ.
cp43 (CO)
Revere Jimmie!
BOOOO (NC)
congrats denny....JJ jump off a bridge
B. Lang (Canada)
Thanks god the 09 season is over, ABC/ESPN do the TV viewing audience a favour and get rid of Punch, Peatrie, Wallace and Doughtery, we don't need cheerleaders doing the races.
Brett (Florence, AL)
jj GETS HIS FORTH CUP
SMITTY (SOMEWHERE, VA)
THAT SUCKS
Joe (Des Moines, IA)
way to go Denny
Johnny (NC)
it was actually changed to increase speed cause they had all sorts of competitions between the makers of type writers back in the day.
CJ (GA)
good race....thoughts with the Hendrick family
Nick (OH)
what did chad's paper say there
Quentin (Green Bay)
Congratulations Denny and Jimmie!
Quentin (Green Bay)
Congratulations Denny and Jimmie!
Ryan McGee (6:42 PM)
It was a note for Hendrick - "We couldn't do it without you!!"
Brad (Virginia)
I'll probably not watch another race.
Chris (Ann Arbor, MI)
Hope everything is ok with the Hendrick family
Duke (ME)
Paul Menard, only driver to start eery race and not get a Top 10
Joe (Des Moines, IA)

IkeK (OH)
Goodnight all.
Jim (Back in the Day) (PA)

So know the question proably isn't "Five in a row" but will he when seven? or eight?
DL (Cali)
I'm gonna watch anything but nascar next year or until the chase is gone.
Quentin (Green Bay)
Well, I'm kinda disappointed I started chating at the last race of the season, but it was fun. All of you take care and have a Happy Thanksgiving, a Happy New Year, and a Merry Christmas! See y'all at Daytona in 2010!
Jim (Back in the Day) (PA)

Ryan McGee (6:46 PM)
BTW...Smoke and Montoya both left without comment.
Tim (KY)
Take care Ryan
Brad (Virginia)
JJ fans are bandwagon jumpers.
Jason (Tampa, FL)
Just want to point out that even without the chase Jimmie Johnson still holds the most race wins therefore would still hold 4 championships in a row
EyrishEyes (NY)
Congrats to Jimmie and the 48 team! Thanks Ryan, you Rock!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family :)
Ryan McGee (6:46 PM)
You too. See you on Twitter.
