<div class="bbWrapper">Yay! Not really a fan of Joey, but since he was the only Penske driver in the final 4 I was still rooting for him.<br /> <br /> <blockquote data-attributes="member: 184054" data-quote="LMSCorvetteGT2" data-source="post: 12546117" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> <a href="/forum/goto/post?id=12546117" class="bbCodeBlock-sourceJump" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="attribution" data-content-selector="#post-12546117">LMSCorvetteGT2</a> </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> Now we wait for the salt. </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> I&#039;m buying stock in Morton as we speak. <img src="/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/lol.svg?v=3" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">All credit to Joey and the Captain. The others had their shots, but they all fell just a tiny bit short.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAH **** THE BIG 3 HAHAHAHAHA<br /> <br /> <br /> That stupid as hell phrase is dead thank god.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Joey may not have deserved it this year but he should’ve won it in 2014 or 2015 so this makes up for that I guess.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">26 top 10s on the year, so I can&#039;t say too much as I thought he&#039;d been garbage all around.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper"><blockquote data-attributes="member: 263652" data-quote="Blood Eagle" data-source="post: 12546125" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> <a href="/forum/goto/post?id=12546125" class="bbCodeBlock-sourceJump" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="attribution" data-content-selector="#post-12546125">Blood Eagle</a> </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> “Well deserved” </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> 4th best is the new 1st best</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Real (season long) points standings<br /> <br /> 1. Busch<br /> 2. Harvick -54<br /> 3. Truex -170<br /> 4. Logano -189<br /> <br /> So it could’ve been worse (like 2015 where Kyle won after missing a third of season)<br /> <br /> In the season long standings Kurt would’ve gotten 5th, but in the official playoff standings, Almirola got 5th and Kurt and Chase tied for 6th place.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">So how long before NASCAR installs a rule that requires you to win a minimum of 5 races to be a contender?</div>

And they would have finished 1-2-3 at the finale if it hadn&#039;t of been for the rules. <br /> <br /> Of all the sad words ever penned, the saddest are these: &quot;It might have been&quot;.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">2018 Chase in a nutshell?<br /> <br /> <span data-s9e-mediaembed="youtube"><span><iframe allow="clipboard-write" allowfullscreen="" referrerpolicy="origin" scrolling="no" style="background:url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lfQMJtilOGg/hqdefault.jpg) 50% 50% / cover" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lfQMJtilOGg"></iframe></span></span></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">It&#039;s no longer the &quot;best of the season&quot; but &quot;best of four in one race&quot;.<br /> <br /> This just isn&#039;t right anymore in my opinion. Just leaving it there, &#039;cause one, I&#039;ll get more warning points, and two, I could probably go on for hours until no end without anything changing.</div>

I really hope he doesn&#039;t get corrupted by being involved with NASCAR since IMSA truly was (and is) his baby.</div>
