Johnson is 10th, Keselowski 3rd. 👍

Wow seems Keselowski is destined to become one of the greatest!

If Brad Keselowski won the Cup championship over Jimmie Johnson on Sunday, would you call it an upset?

No because nobody but Jimmie Johnson fans want him win!

Considering that Jimmie Johnson is a 5-time champion, I would say yes. However, with the fact that Brad Keselowski is on fire, I would have to say no.

EDIT: Who's watching the truck race?

 

[Ganon83]

I am, I'm cheering for the God of S&Per's (Dave Blaney) son Ryan

 

[RACECAR]

Ah crap. A 09 Zaxby's Truck...the horror

Ah crap. A 09 Zaxby's Truck...the horror

He hasn't caused one incident this year, aside from that one half lap in Cup practice at Pocono where they promptly removed him from the car after he spun it on his outlap.

Wait, he was in a cup practice?


Sorry, but I tend to be suspicious about a guy who's been caught not once but twice driving while drunk (once under age), not on the track of course but still. It also doesn't help that the one time he had a competitive car in the one ARCA race he was in, he found a way to crash that.

For all of 2 minutes...

 

[Ganon83]

Hey, before Larson wins this race, I wanted to say this-
I've only seen 2 guys who I would call "future Cup champions" in the last 10 years. One is Chase Elliott. The other is Kyle Larson.

 

[GTPorsche]

So, your "last ten years", is more like "last ten months"...

 

[The Bman]

Ganon, this race is going to Kyle Busch or Matt Crafton, not Kyle Larson.

 

[Ganon83]

Well, it's true. I never bought into the Joey hype, and I'm typically not a "He's won a bunch of races, so lol future Cup champion" type.
Plus, considering both Jimmie and Brad weren't really "big deals" in NASCAR before being hired by either Gordon or Jr.............
And I made that post before the caution.

 

[The Bman]

What the hell did Kyle Larson just do?

 

[RACECAR]

Dammit, Dillon has lost the championship

 

[Müle]

LOL

wow

 

[Mac K]

Dammit, Dillon has lost the championship

Can't say I'm complaining..

 

[The Bman]

One position from becoming the first rookie champion.

 

[ICEYOU]

Did Kyle really just SCREW Dillon?!

 

[RACECAR]

Can't say I'm complaining..

So you don't like Dillon?

 

[Ganon83]

Why didn't I realize I'd jinx Larson like that

 

[Müle]

if anything, that was Dillons fault.

 

[Mac K]

So you don't like Dillon?

Not particularly, not a huge fan of his brother either.

 

[ICEYOU]

if anything, that was Dillons fault.

Well to be fair Kyle should have known Dillon was racing for a title.

 

[Ganon83]

Anybody else hoping the 31 spins just for the randomness of seeing Peters as Truck champion?

Honestly, I'd still rather see Buescher win the championship as opposed to Peters.

if anything, that was Dillons fault.

If Larson didn't drive too deep, Dillon wouldn't have wrecked. Like someone can react so quickly to a divebomb.

 

[ICEYOU]

Honestly, I'd still rather see Buescher win the championship as opposed to Peters.

Yup, he is driving a Chevy after all.

 

[Ganon83]

I just realized Larson is Buescher's Teammate......
And Turner Motorsports has a technical alliance with Hendrick!
Bring on the tin foil hat people!

 

[RACECAR]

if anything, that was Dillons fault.

How? Dillon wasn't aware Larson was there until they were in the corner.

 

[Müle]

These guys cannot into restart.
