YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Im so happy for Jimmy, and the crew for winning it again.

They are truly the best in the game!

[harvey lee]

Congrats Brian, very nice picks for the end of the year.

[HOF#13]

Yep...The #48 team certainly kicked it it in gear when they needed to!! Hopefully, it's a Hendrick car that wins it next year....#88 maybe?!?!?!

[outdoor ran]

I like JJ and they are a great team but its just to boring for me . Kinda like the Pats or Spurs when they were winning all the time.

Pushing Rainbow Brite closer to retirement

[Double D]

How can they not be the favorite going into 09?

[harvey lee]

There are a few Rousch cars that will put up a good fight for the top spot also besides Hendrick. One of those two stables will provide the 09 champ.

so much for toyota!

Congrats to Jimmie and HMS! 8 Cups, a Busch Series Champ and three truck series trophies. NOT TOO SHABBY!

so much for toyota!

when Gibbs has the budget of HMS, you wont see JJ winning any more championships.

HA HA HA, funniest post in weeks. Whining about a Toyota teams resources. Now that right there is funny, I don't care who you are!!!!!

[SledNeck]

Hendrick is valued at $335 million

Roush Fenway is second at $313 million

Joe Gibbs Racing ($184 million)

[bassNspear]

Where did he finish the race?

he was 16th i believe

[lawdog]

That's the value of the company if it were for sale. It says nothing about how much technical support they get to race. According to Jack Rousch, Toyota was rumured to have spent over $100,000,000 on ther cup program for this year.

[Uncle Bill]

Also the reason why J. Roush sold 50% of Roush Racing to Fenway Sports Group.

"The reason we may bring in a new investor is so we can stand the pressure of increased spending that Toyota will bring," Roush said.

Roush alone could not finance a spending war with Toyota.

Just another good reason for DIE to combined with Ganassi. (Good business decision)

Sorry Sled!

[LMITOUT]

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but if the classic point system was still utilized Carl Edwards would be the champ by 16 points.

[PierBridge]

I believe just about every racing points system ended up being closer or more competitive than the Chase's turned out to be.

The chase must go!

[VMS]

"The chase must go!"

I second that!!

Hype, Hype, Hype of the top 12 drivers for the 10 race chase...we hear basically nothing about the rest of the race...
