I agree, i gave cp to both of you also as it indeed was an incredible race by both of them & they did end up tied in points but tony has the edge with all his wins.

Carl should be proud of the battle he & tony put on for everybody to witness. I have never seen anything like that in my life, it was so intense & my heart was literally pounding out of my chest those last 30 laps.

Tony was just so determined & looked like a man on a mission, especially when he had the problems early in the race & went back to 40th but he drove like a man possessed & he had his mind made up that he was winning the race & it was the only way he was going to win the title.

Good job to both of them. :thumb:

Congrats to Tony and team.

What a great finish, on the one hand I feel bad for Carl for coming so close on the other hand I love this championship. Tony Stewart talked big since the chase started and he backed it up on the track. Great finish to a great season!!

What amazed me is we talked about a tie last night. What is more amazing is after 10 months and countless laps if either of them finished one spot higher or lower in any race, or lead a lap in a race the did not lead this year it would be completly different.

I am glad it was not rained out reguardless of if it would change the results.

ESPN and NASCAR have to be happy with how it ended. How are the going to top this? The past six years have escalated in drama from Jimmie winning number 1 to back to back, tying Junior Johnson, passing him and winning five in a row. I hope we all have enjoyed the histroy we have witnessed. It will never happen again.

I understand bro, I'm a Labonte fan and he came super close to beating Dale Sr one year and I was pissed....Carls young he'll get one in a year or two.

Carl will get his, he has been on the brink & it will come & i know it's difficult being so close but coming up short but there should be no shame whatsoever because carl just got beat by arguably one of the greatest racers of all time.

I used to be a Bobby fan too. He won it in 2000. Unless you mean Terry lol

I do not know if I would go that far. He is a very good driver but I would put Petty, Jimmie, Gordon, Earnhardt, DW, Junior Johnson, Andretti, The Unser family, Foyt, Rick Mears, and Schumacher ahead of him.

Whoa Whoa Whoa!! Tony is now a 3 time nascar champ under 2 different formats with 2 different crew chiefs. He can & has won on every track imaginable to mankind & to be specific 7 wins on road courses which takes a hell of alot more skill than ovals, outside jeff how many have those others won on the road course?

He also is an IRL champion along with an IROC champion & a USAC Triple crown champ. How many drivers can make this claim?

I'm sorry man but his record speaks for itself & he is in fact one of the greatest racers ever
