I know most of you hate NASCAR, but that is quite an achievement.

Hate is not the opposite of love, indifference is.

I am indifferent to NASCAR.

Wow, that's extremely impressive, especially considering how competitive the sport is.

He really has the system down. Spend the first 25 races just testing/tuning and scoring enough points to be sure of making the final list of 12 drivers, then go all out and win in the last 10 races.

I don't hate Nascar, just not my cup of tea.
I did watch the last 22 laps of the race because there is a lot of position changes during the race.
That's the one thing that F1 is missing overtaking, just ask Fernando if you do not believe me. !!

Someone once described him as stupendously fast! You don't have to like NASCAR in order to admire and respect such an achievement by him and his crew chief Chad Knaus for JJ.
