Next year will definitely be better for both of our drivers. Jeff and
Dale Jr. will be back in the Chase next year. Congrats to Jimmie and
Kyle Petty.

Reported on Jayski and ThatsRacin.com that the 48 and 5 teams had
trouble in post race inspection, the rear quarter panels were two high.

It's not only the worst season for Gordon fans, it's the worst for
gordon himself. This chase without Gordon and Jr makes me laugh, haha
new race fans :) :) :)

It hasn't been that bad for Gordon, has it? He's won 3 races, including
the Daytona 500. Surely that counts for something, doesn't it?

I think the points system is still clearly flawed when guys who have won
races aren't in the Chase and guys who haven't won at all are in.

No doubt, the #5 and #48 cheat finish 1 - 2 and are just told to not do
it again.

As stated above this was the first ever start for Furniture Row Racing.
They struggled for years, but in 2011 the #78 got it's first win in the
Southern 500 with Cato, New York native Regan Smith behind the wheel.

And who would've thought that this team that always ran at the back of
the field, if they even qualified for the race to begin with, would
eventually become capable of winning races and making the chase?

Just imagine the #32 car that runs in cup right now and imagine ten
years from now, that team not only still exists, but is a race winning
and championship contending organization. Exactly. You can't.

It is truly amazing how far this team has come, and I'm not sure if its
something that will ever happen again, although it would be really cool
if it did happen again.

Twelve years after its NASCAR debut the Furniture Row Racing has
clinched the championship with Truex, Jr. in Homestead. Simply amazing!

Kyle Busch said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio that Hendrick told him to "cool
his jets" and let Jimmie win because Jimmie was in the playoffs and Kyle
wasn't. Kyle stated he felt he had the better car.

@19 Sounds like something Kyle would BS about. He led a total of 0 laps
in this race, Johnson led 134.

@19 Now I can only imagine how the race would've played out at
Martinsville in 2014 that Dale, Jr. won in which he was eliminated from
the playoffs and that his teammate Jeff Gordon was in playoff contention
at the time. Still bothers me to this day, but not as much as before
knowing that the race the following year made things better when Gordon
won for the final time in his career.

@20, that doesn't mean that Kyle wasn't better at the end of the race.
Leading more laps doesn't guarantee you the win.

@24 Beat me to it with your comment.

The interview is in the SiriusXM on demand section currently.

@23 When Kyle said that about not trying to race Jimmie for the win the
first thing that came to my mind was the Jr/Gordon Martinsville race. If
Gordon wins that race he goes to the final 4, and he would have been the
favorite to win the title. I wonder why Rick went one way in 2005, and
the other way in 2013. For the record when talking about team orders
after the Martinsville race Hendrick said something like "you can't do
that type of thing."

@25 you mean the other way in 2014. Of course there was that 2013 MWR
scandal at Richmond. I guess there were different implications with Rick
Hendrick between him 2005 that he only wanted Jimmie to win at Dover &
not Kyle versus 2014, when he just didn't care who won as long it was
one of his drivers.

@26 Yes, I was referring to solely Rick Hendrick's feeling of team words
in 2005 vs. 2014.

Jimmie Johnson wasn't passed for every green flag lap. 14 green flag
passes & zero times someone went by him under green. That's insane!

3 of the 5 Roush cars suffered tire problems that cost them good finishes.

Greg Biffle was running second with about 100 laps to go when he had a
flat right rear tire which put him a lap down causing him to finish 13th.

Matt Kenseth had a flat left rear tire while running in the top five
just past halfway and then on lap 368 blew a right front tire and hit
the wall ending his day.

Kurt Busch looked to have one of the best cars all day but got caught a
lap down while making a green flag pit stop after Kenseth's accident,
then a few laps after the restart suffered a flat tire which put him 3
laps down and caused him to finish 23rd that day.

Kyle Petty's final of his two top ten finishes in 2005 and his last top
ten finish at Dover in his career. Kyle's stats at Dover were up and
down with solid runs including his final win in June of 1995 and his
near wins in 1997 competing in the hot wheels machine. Overall, while
not his best track, Kyle competing at Dover was not half bad, either. A
great run by a team that had an up and down '05 season.
