I don't think he could've.

He could have at least pulled out and made it look like he was attempting to go for the win.,

Great exciting race until Jimmie Johnson ruined it by winning. I was hoping Martin would push Little E on in for the win.

Does this thread serve a purpose? Or could it have simply been another post in the Daytona thread?

:question:

Jimmie is the white Tiger Woods of NASCAR

This was back when plate racing was fun. I don't know what NASCAR had in 01, but that was a great year for plate racing.

What to watch for:

1. The big one.

2. 4/5 of the race to be a boring single file to 2 wide pack.

3. The winner to make a last lap pass coming off of 4 with a side draft.

4. Tony stewart to take out half the field so he has a better chance of winning.

5. Most aggressive driver kyle busch.

6. Most conservative driver Mark Martin(if you want to slide up do it to him)

7. Matt Kenseth to have the strongest car.

8. Little E fans. They can't speak very well, but they can yell

9. Tight and loose race cars. Seems like the cars are not doing very well with a car on their outside. Outside car loose inside car tight.

10. Danica to be on top of the pole when the race begins.

Pretty good. 7/10

Please don't rain, I don't want to see Kenseth win.

Pfffffftttt...

The race was awesome till 51 to go.

A bit stressed about Gibbs equipment reliability. I had myself convinced the issues were due in part to the style of driving of Kyle and Denny.
I hope they get it figured out pretty quick!

They've always seemed to teeter on the extreme edge of performance vs durability.

was I the only one who thought Johnson tore the front of the car up on purpose during his celebration?

I don't doubt it

Do they still measure the front end after the race? I don't think they they do, so it probably doesn't/didn't matter.
