won his second consecutive Nextel Cup NASCAR award thingy. Prior to finishing seventh in yesterday's race at Homestead, Johnson had won four straight Chase races to all but seal the championship, a feat made even more impressive by the way Jeff Gordon drove this season.
Gordon, who finished second in the standings, won six races this year and set a NASCAR record with 30 top-10 finishes. He also impregnated model Ingrid Vandebosch, who gave birth to his progeny. Not bad for second place.
NASCAR has by far and away the shortest offseason of any sport, if you're one of those people who consider driving a sport. I think the new season starts next week, actually.

Thank God, its over! Oddly the LPGA finished its season on the same day. Coincidence?
Finally, now I can focus on football.
Also worth mentioning, Gordon owns Johnson's car, so he won by losing, kind of.
wait, that wasn't worth mentioning.
MLS, LPGA, and NASCAR finishes their season on the same day. Any way to get the WNBA to do the same ? It would be like Christmas in November.
@UU
Thanksgiving is Christmas in November. Right?
@Pauly, o.k. then it would be like my birthday in November.
I guess this gives NASCAR fans more time to enjoy the comedic stylings of Larry the Cable Guy, so that's good.
So NASCAR Got-r-dun?
As an Orlando resident, I look forward to the first race of the season in Daytona. No, not because I've ever attended the race, but rather because it seems the entire sister-fucking demographic of Central Florida leaves for a whole weekend.
I thought for sure there would have been a Talladega Nights reference by now. Shake and bake.
I know a few guys who were torn yesterday. They had to decide between hunting and watching the race yesterday.
Now, to give the ole confederate flag a well deserved rest. shes earned it.
I just drove to the gym and back. I think I earned 25 Nextel Cup points.
Merriman's less than in pressed with the pit crews supersoaking techniques. And this is NASCAR right shouldn't they be spraying Pabst on Jimmie. BTW what self respecting heterosexual spells his name with a freaking "ie" instead of a "y". Is their a heart instead of a dot.
How do the athletes get any rest with an off season of only a week? Oh that's right, they're machines.
My avatar will not serve it's two day suspension Mr. Vice Principal!
Damn, I just reread my post, I'm either retarded, drunk or illiterate because I can't spell or make a coherent statement . On the positive side, I'm right in the wheelhouse of NASCAR's demographic.

I once asked my dad if he watched NASCAR and he said, "if I wanna watch something go around in circles for a while, I'll go take a shit." I miss you Dad.
NASCAR is sponsored by NASLA (National Association Brother Sister Love) right?
NASCAR prep:
Left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, uh, right — damn!
CRASH!

Only if you made left turns only.
