I have more of a problem with Moran being second.

and then says that anybody who doesn't like the championship format needs to find another sport to watch.

Of course he likes it, he finished at least 2 spot higher than he should have!!!

It's the only reason he said that.

Next year, when they have the inevitable fuel stop added, they can do a pit crew competition to decide how they restart the race. That would be fun.

and a second place that didn't deserve a podium. Cograts Lucas Oil, your NASCAR rules have ruined your credibility.

Your opinion paid the winner how much??

anyone that added fuel should be dq'd a wild race was marred by stupid rules. lucky dog, gas n gos, tire changes, reset the points

Considering there is a weight requirement, I was wondering what the rules stated about adding fuel.

I watched it, first Lucas race for me this year. Figured there would be some drama, was hoping they would all run out of gas and Rt would get it even 8 laps down..

I was hoping for a miracle too, but I think RTJ even ran out of gas.

Unless I missed something, he was only a lap down to Sheppard. If I'm wrong and Moran lapped him then there may be an argument, but they've all benefited from it over the last 7-8 years.

Just as much as yours

Doesn't getting lapped by the leader put you down a lap to everyone else though?

If you haven’t read rtj post the other day about having 35 new pics with his younguns playing in confetti from this year , you should…….sums it up great and speaks volumes about the dude that said it.

Yes, but isn't that just as stupid as any other rule? Thus is part of the reason for the lucky dog, without it he restarts the race on the next yellow behind only those that lapped him.

What I got from his post is, he doesn't like it but he signed up for it and isn't going to cry about not winning the championship. I give him a ton of credit for looking at the positives, but what do you expect him to say when one of his sponsors footed the bill for the championship format change?

2 of the best prepared cars finished 1 and 2. The drivers did their job on a slabbed up mess of a track. B-Shep had them covered!! I could care less about the Lucas angle. If they are smart they will scrap that format. Ricky Thornton gets the respect no matter what! Hudson gets the awkward………..championship? 10 4. Fix it Lucas. It sucks.
