I'm serious

Whats the chances that the two championship contenders run away with the race and it ends in a tie break.

11/20/2011 8:22:19 PM

Did your driver not win?

11/20/2011 8:23:17 PM

Pretty good given the inputs (3 point separation coming in, 2 drivers with great records at the track with great teams who have been strong for the entire final 10 races).

Dale Jr never wins

It was too perfect. The script was obvious.

JUST DONT TURN RIGHT

11/20/2011 8:28:35 PM

there was a 6 second difference between 2nd and 3rd place at the finish line that is very suspicious

11/20/2011 8:38:40 PM

seems like it would be possible for NASCAR to tamper with the restrictor plates or something during the pre-race inspections if they really wanted to.

lol its been professional wrestling on wheels since like the mid 90s.

welcome to reality!

No restrictor plates at homestead

11/20/2011 10:09:58 PM

I too believe the race was fixed. The rest of the field could have cared less. They were not driving competitively

11/20/2011 10:14:48 PM

Jimmie Johnson fixed his car... is that what you're talking about?

And there was like 1.5 seconds between second and first. It's not uncommon for there to be large time differences between positions like that.

the 14 did appear to have more power on restarts. too bad if they take the car to the RD center on tuesday and find an issue will wont hear about because they wouldnt want to change the champion

People still watch this?


All that complaining about oil, gas prices, and the environment, and people still support this "sport"?

Typical Americans

11/21/2011 7:11:35 AM

^Yep, because F1 and open-wheel racing is certainly not popular worldwide.

I don't even follow Nascar but a friend of ours was telling us the deal with the last race. Flipped through and saw that they were 1-2 and thought "how convenient" and had the same idea that this wouldn't be all that difficult to rig considering restrictor plates and all.

11/21/2011 7:43:09 AM

Well if you watched the last few laps of the race, NASCAR was waving all of the other cars to just get out of the way of the 2 lead drivers. I mean really it didn't matter for any other driver to win, this race was just Stewart vs. Edwards all-along. They just wanted the other cars for drafting and caution purposes, but the rain took care of the caution.

I kept waiting for one of their teammates to block aggressively but I'm guessing they had some stern threats from NASCAR for anyone who decided to wreck/block one of those 2.

11/21/2011 7:50:35 AM

LudaChris The "move over" flag is used every race, every time that a lead car is coming up on a slower/lapped car.

11/21/2011 7:57:35 AM

wrestling on wheels, ha.

11/21/2011 9:14:07 AM

dont believe homestead is a restrictor plate course

11/21/2011 9:15:20 AM

it's not.


it's not a course either.

11/21/2011 9:17:50 AM

ah, excuse me


'coarse'

11/21/2011 9:26:19 AM

lol, not quite what i meant.

race course is meant to describe a non permanent track

11/21/2011 9:28:08 AM

11/21/2011 9:42:44 AM

IT'S STILL REAL TO ME DAMMIT

11/21/2011 10:01:21 AM

the only thing that would have made it more rigged, and i'm honestly surprised it didn't occur, is the caution flag with 5 laps to go for "debris on track".

11/21/2011 10:02:58 AM

You'd think if it was fixed then Jr would win more races.

11/21/2011 10:30:33 AM

SHAKE AND BAKE

you'd think. but even NASCAR couldn't predict Jr. running out of fuel between turns 3 and 4 on the final lap of the 600 this summer.

11/21/2011 10:43:51 AM

the two best drivers beating the rest of the field and duking it out for the win? unpossible! has to be fixed!

11/21/2011 10:44:47 AM

LOL at a Junior fan saying a race was fixed.

Must have missed that Pepsi 400 at Daytona after his dad died when "Little E" passed about 15 cars the last 2 laps to win.

11/21/2011 11:14:57 AM

If it were fixed, Carl Edwards, driving a FORD would have won the FORD 400.

In other NASCAR news we have a SC man arrested for firing a gun to celebrate Tony Stewart's championship:
