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:sigpic

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!!sigpic

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.Ask me about My Jesus and how to have a relationship with Him.

Originally posted by Southstander View PostI 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.
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 eversigpic
