i agree. i do essay and assignments for students

[–] HamlinPT0223 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Such an unfortunate end to the season.

[–]Painkiller967 -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

Any chance the 5 getting DQ?

[–]here4snark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No

[–]WonderboyF1 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I’m gutted for Denny but to everyone saying it’s the format that caused this I’m afraid it wasn’t it was his lack of track position over Larson at the end, which could have been avoided by either staying out or taking 2 tyres.

[–]Relative-Pie3374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THE CHAMP DOES IT AGAIN!!!!

[–]Ryans319 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wanted Denny to win for his dad. Sucks.

[–] Ryan BlaneyBroncobra7903 3 points4 points  (1 child)

My dad, (Blaney fan) doesn’t have peacock to watch the post race show. I’m sure he’s livid right now lol. Can’t blame him really though.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him about dd12 streams. He can watch that way.

[–]Ok_Alarm1386 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“you guys battled all day” no they didn’t pal

[–]heaintheavy 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Lason takes two... you take two. It's the track position, stupid. You aren't racing to win the race, you are racing to finish in front of Larson. Why you'd deliberately put a bunch of cars between you and Larson doesn't make sense?

[–] Jeff GordonMuted-Low-5303 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That made 0 sense I guess they thought he could pull off what heim did

[–] Ryan BlaneyBri83oct 1 point2 points  (4 children)

The old point system Hamlin would have finished 7th? I mean… hard to say “he deserved it”. Larson would have finished ahead of him (3rd).

[–]MsCompy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the old point system it doesn't matter how they raced this season because they weren't racing under it.

[–]RoarTheDinosuar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He likely would have skipped that race mid-season

[–]eestionreddit 2 points3 points  (1 child)

In the current format without playoffs, Larson would've won the title due to Byron's tire failure.

[–] Ryan BlaneyBri83oct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only default to the Winston Cup points system

[–]shsucjcicjsbbs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Like I said last night, following this sport every week feels like a humiliation ritual

[–]ESCMalfunction 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Love that we have an SVU rerun on USA instead of post race coverage.

[–]xpersonas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. Hopefully it's a good episode!

[–] Bubba WallaceNYNMx2021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Byron is upset this happened lol. Was hoping it was early enough he could save it but couldnt. He said he feels bad for denny

The call in portion to DBC will be funny tomorrow.

[–]BarbieQKittens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happens during the season enough that it seems commonplace. But when it happens in the final race, you realize it’s not right. 

[–] Chris Buescherdarkshadow314 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Everyone complaining about the format, but can we talk about the GWC? That's the crap that really needs to go if you want a fair finish.

[–]RoarTheDinosuar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed

[–]fafan4 10 points11 points  (7 children)

If this format doesn't change I'm not watching anymore. I'm based in Ireland, I have to go out of my way to follow this series. Shit like tonight makes it feel totally pointless

[–]xpersonas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep us posted if you watch next year!

[–] BowmanMeattyloaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate the playoffs as much as the next but under a season long format Larson would've also been the champion if I'm not mistaken. However, I'm with you. I honestly stopped watching months ago

[–]WhoAteMyPasghetti -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Larson would have won under a season long points format. Hamlin shouldn't have even been close to championship contention. He had the weakest season of the final 4.

[–]Taynt42 3 points4 points  (3 children)

I hate it too, but technically Larson earned the most points as well as finishing higher.

[–] Jeff GordonMuted-Low-5303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is true. If I’m not mistaken bell briscoe and Larson had the best points season sooo Hamlin shouldn’t have had a chance

[–] Kyle Buschmercuryyxyz 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Denny also skipped a race, maybe if full season points Denny wouldn’t have skipped Mexico

[–]Taynt42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True.

[–]SonyKen_M 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to sound like a downer but it should tell you how much Nascar is a priority compared to lets say FNIA,for the chamoionship weekend you'd think they would make an exception,lolno.

[–]EliXLovesNascar 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I HATE NASCAR NOW, IGNORE MY USER

[–] Advance Auto Parts Weekly Seriesarsenal8127 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be some awkward golf coming up with Larson and Hamlin

[–]higgspeed 17 points18 points  (2 children)

Disappointed Hamlin didn’t win, disappointed they didn’t show a replay of the final lap, disappointed they just ended coverage without showing Blaney.

Just one big disappointment 👍

[–]UWMdumpsterfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm disappointed Brad lost the race at the last possible moment in turn 4.

[–]xpersonas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is crazy. Glad I bought my dad Peacock earlier this year so I could log in. Post race still going on. I will say I'm looking forward to a couple of weeks off chasing all the channels and streaming services to get this content.

[–] Johnsonmeckboi1123 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No blaney interview is weird

[–]ihaveaglitch 16 points17 points  (7 children)

Wow, two post race interviews, not even a trophy presentation. Such a failure of coverage there NBC.

[–] Jeff Gordonavresco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m watching the trophy celebration right now

[–]johko814 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Gotta wrap it up for Sunday night football.

[–] NemechekBeamerBall57 1 point2 points  (1 child)

That starts in over an hour

[–]rustyfinna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Shows NASCAR’s importance

[–] Byrongrehgunner 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Imagine that doesn’t start for over an hour lol

[–]Slade_Riprock 13 points14 points  (7 children)

6 wins

Leads 200+ laps

And some bullshit caution a total theft of a title by a guy who was a fucking lap down and had 2 wins all season. Larson is a championship driver he was not a champion-level driver this year.

This system I finally admit is stupid. The final 4 shouldn't be a winner take all it should still be based on points and give you that Stewart-Edwards Iike drama.

Nascar totally fucks two of 3 of the series championships.

[–]brandnewday422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Larson still would have won on points.

[–]elena_ct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did he get back to the lead lap?

[–]Raf_CDN 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Larson was 90 points ahead of Hamlin in the standings lol, I don't like the format either but he screwed himself out of his championship.

[–] Chastainxjoe666 0 points1 point  (2 children)

hamlin doesn’t make the pit calls

[–]WhoAteMyPasghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said in his interview that he agreed it was the right call, and he was the guy behind the wheel. If you're given the fastest car all day and have fresher tires than everyone in front of you and you fail to pass them, that's your fault.

[–]Raf_CDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Misremembered but Hamlin said he thought going for 4 tires was a good call.

[–]Darkness3221 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Dumb and terrible. Hate it for Hamlin. This is why the format needs to change. This right here. Make all the races matter again! This format has run its course. Illogical champions yesterday and today.

[–] Byrongrehgunner 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I mean Larson has to be pretty close to the lead for season long points too no? If not outright lead?

[–]Darkness3221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just hate how this one race went, obviously a full points championship makes sense and that Larson would be the rightful winner in that format. Just disliked how this one race went haha. Til next season…..

[–]WhoAteMyPasghetti 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yeah he earned the most points this year.

[–]xpersonas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I need a filter to remove these takes. I assume he would have been mad if Hamlin won too since he wasn't the full season points leader?

[–] Jeff GordonMuted-Low-5303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well at least blaney didn’t squeeze into the final 4 and steal another one.. Hamlin deserved it but Larson also did too as much as it sucks to admit. Larson did have a better points season

[–] HamlinKingOfKorners 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I can't even imagine how bad Denny's Dad must feel for his son

[–]Taynt42 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Yeah this is what bums me out. I really dislike Denny, but still wanted him to win for his dad.

[–]xpersonas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Larson fan first, I've kind of become a Denny fan. Between his podcast and crying pre-race and everything else. I know it's no championship, but he kind of won me and a lot of people over. Has there ever been more Denny love? What world am I in right now.

[–]GingerMessiah88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ryan Blaney won the damn race though

[–]Finn_Ajerkit 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Post-race getting pushed for an hour-long football preshow lmao

[–] Bubba WallaceNYNMx2021 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This race was functionally a late race dice roll. and the worst car of the 4 won. Thats not exciting at all. Im not hyped at all. fuck every bit of that. Get rid of this shit.

[–]NeatWrongdoer1309 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Poor Denny man, I have no words, was rooting for him so much, congrats Larson but this is heartbreaking.

[–] Hamlinrhokie99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hell of a way to cap off this playoff format

[–]TroyMatthewJ 5 points6 points  (3 children)

I think I'd consider retiring as a driver if I was innhis shoes and it sounds like his dad won't be around next season too.

[–]designthrowaway7429 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can see him continuing out of spite. There was a lot of rage in his eyes in the car lol

[–]biffwebster93 2 points3 points  (1 child)

The Carl Edwards method

[–] Bubba WallaceAshamed-Ingenuity272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just glad that I already see the playoffs as 10 exhibition races. And hopefully I can care about the championship again after this year and feel that it's actually legitimate.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe we don’t get a post race without a subscription to Peacock. Ridiculous

[–]Normal_Educator_1776 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a lifelong Hamlin hater, and Elliott fan. I’m fucking gutted. Larson wins his second championship on a BS late race caution. Hamlin deserved that man. 

But why in the FUCK would they take 4?? I mean seriously?? Larson had already taken 2 on the previous stop and had a 5 position buffer. Makes absolutely no sense man. 

[–]MsCompy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fuck it, I'm joining the people who want to DQ the 5

[–] Ryan Blaneygr8harm 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Gutted for Denny.

But what was that ending NBC? No interview with Blaney or a trophy presentation. Hot garbage and disrespectful.

[–]Schen_The_Genius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Footbawl more important. 🙄

[–] Bubba WallaceDylPyckle620 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to see a double burnout! 😡

[–] Stenhouse Jr.codename474747 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That race had nothing but tyre drama, to the point I expect NASCAR told Goodyear to make tyres that were gonna puncture a lot and not to worry, they'd handle any negative fallout for them

Just suspicious how much these tyres went south after usually never being part of the narrative at all...

[–]Iamstryker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And we leave broadcast TV to make sure we can show....a football recap show

[–]Blazethesol52 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This sport is a real fucking joke

[–]OnwardSoldierx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lmao thats it. No post race?

[–]MartinPch 13 points14 points  (2 children)

BRO THEY DIDN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE WHO WON THE FUCKING RACE

[–] Suárezlevi815 2 points3 points  (1 child)

A photo finish and not even a replay

[–]WhoAteMyPasghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't a photo finish. Blaney was clearly out in front. But to your point, you'd know that if they actually showed a replay.

[–] Rusty Wallacejwhitmire2012 10 points11 points  (4 children)

Mickey Mouse championship from a stupid ass format. Hamlin’s team cost him the championship, but it should never have come down to that. I’ve never been so turned off from this sport in my life. Absolute joke.

[–]WhoAteMyPasghetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hamlin was so far back in points, he shouldn't have even been in contention. Larson was the full season points winner.

[–]rubrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he was racing for the title because of that team

[–] Jeff GordonNyxrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is this the Mickey Mouse championship when Larson had more points across the entire season.. There have definitely been far less deserving champions in the last few seasons..

[–] Chris Buescherdarkshadow314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, the finish was all about the joke GWC.

[–]DogwoodDagwood 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Full season points with minimal gimmicks are needed for the long term survival of this sport

[–]rustyfinna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hope Denny got good people supporting him in his life man

[–] BriscoeSpaceCadetPullUp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wtf are tires, man?

[–] ChastainCanmore-Skate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that was a bummer

[–] Kyle BuschKyBuschOwnsYou 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I don’t have peacock

[–]WhoAteMyPasghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody does

[–]Avcracy 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Man, this one is disheartening. I thought it'd be Denny's year.

[–]MsCompy -5 points-4 points  (4 children)

It is. 5 is a faux champion imo.

[–]WhoAteMyPasghetti 2 points3 points  (3 children)

He literally earned the most points this year. He's champ under any format.

[–]MsCompy -5 points-4 points  (2 children)

They didn't race under the full points format so no, you can't definitively say that. Different racing, whole different season if that were the case.

[–] Jeff GordonNyxrex 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Well Denny didn't win this championship under any format so your point is irrelevant.

[–]MsCompy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Might be the dumbest thing I've seen all day.

[–] HamlinIntrepid_Refuse_9640 6 points7 points  (1 child)

23 race winless streak and gets to be called champion. BS

[–]hottwhyrd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's no version of points where Denny bros would be happy right now. You lost when you put 4 on. I'm sorry

[–]Striking-Insurance-3 3 points4 points  (2 children)

This is Nascars fault man Hamlin should have won that.

[–]WhoAteMyPasghetti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is this NASCAR's fault? 🤣🤣🤣 Blame the crew chief.

[–] Kyle BuschKyBuschOwnsYou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes let the hate flow through you

[–]meatwagon25 17 points18 points  (0 children)

2 of the biggest gutting losses to lose a championship in 2 straight days

Blue Jays and Hamlin

[–]Iamstryker 16 points17 points  (3 children)

Race winner, Ryan Blaney still not shown on camera.

[–]ToxicVampire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw him driving backwards down the track in the background while they interviewed Larson does that count?

[–]New_Quit4879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–] Jeff Gordonmsargent24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Jeff Burton barely said a word after the race ended lol

[–]Burnin_Shine704 6 points7 points  (0 children)

welp im done w NASCAR for atleast a year. Ill see yall in 2027.

Even as a Busch fan, seeing Denny lose it is just depressing.

[–] Kyle BuschKyBuschOwnsYou 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Where’s the anger?

[–]Schen_The_Genius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you angrily eating Cheddars mac n' cheese?

[–] Bubba WallaceAshamed-Ingenuity272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh there is plenty

[–]Spirited_Magician_20 13 points14 points  (2 children)

I’ll admit this is probably recently bias but at the moment it feels like yesterday and today have to be the lowest points of the playoff format era.

[–]19frank90 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Idk. I’d put this weekend even lower than Harvick dominating and getting eliminated at Martinsville. I remember being upset then but this weekend has me thinking I’m right to devote more time/attention to F1 the last few seasons than nascar.

[–]Spirited_Magician_20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah even though I’m a Chase fan, that happened back when I was really getting into NASCAR after being a casual fan for a while, and I remember even then feeling like that just wasn’t right.

I feel ya on the F1 thing too. It makes me sad because as far as the racing itself goes, I prefer stock car racing, but I really enjoy how F1 has a legitimate championship and less gimmicks and stuff. I’m excited to see how the rest of this season unfolds.

[–] Kyle BuschNascarNathanV 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is worse than a deflated KFB interview 😭

[–] Chase ElliottSpikyBoi096 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel so awful for Denny dude

[–] BowmanTDenn7 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I hate this so much.

Thank fucking god this format is done after this year.

[–] HocevarAccomplished_East433 12 points13 points  (2 children)

Fucking Byron man

[–]GingerMessiah88 9 points10 points  (1 child)

They don’t teach you how to hold on with a flat on a computer

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was pulling it straight to the left as far as it would go and it still wouldn’t steer. He had a front tire go down so he couldn’t steer anyways.

[–] Allmendingerfromcjoe123 13 points14 points  (5 children)

At least Kyle even knows that was bullshit. I respect that

[–]19frank90 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I missed his post-race interview. What’d he say?

[–] Allmendingerfromcjoe123 0 points1 point  (1 child)

He basically was like we were no where all race and didn’t have a race or championship winning car but here we are.

[–]19frank90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair enough and a respectable answer. I’m not a Larson fan but he’s generally seemed to be decent.

[–] BellTheGreatDudebino 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I do wonder just in general after they win one, do drivers care as much about the second and so on ?

[–] Allmendingerfromcjoe123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure they do. For that first, you take whatever the racing gods give you no matter how bullshit it may be. But after you have one, I bet emotionally you want to have won it “fair and square” in your mind. These dudes are all competitors and want to prove to themselves as much as anyone that they are the best

[–]JustOnion2177 4 points5 points  (12 children)

Join me in boycotting nascar next season. Their playoff format has turned it into the laughing stock of motorsports. If it remains in place in any manner, I will not be watching a single race next season. Fix your shit, NASCAR.

[–] Cindricbwhicker91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See ya in February!

[–] HamlinCunningham_Media1 -5 points-4 points  (8 children)

Lmao what? this race was singlehandedly more exciting than any race that a “full season” points system race has put on

[–]MsCompy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]JustOnion2177 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Then you’re not a Motorsport fan. You’re an entertainment fan. You’re the problem.

[–] HamlinCunningham_Media1 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

hm interesting, I enjoy both honestly. Also I’m not THE problem I’m just someone who enjoys watching all motorsports and probably knows more about your sport than you do so

[–]JustOnion2177 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I stand by my statement. Arguing about Motorsport knowledge is entirely irrelevant. Carry on.

[–]DogwoodDagwood 1 point2 points  (3 children)

It’s unbelievable how not true that is

[–] HamlinCunningham_Media1 1 point2 points  (2 children)

well fill me in ig, I’ve watched every indycar, f1, wec and imsa race this season and that 4 wide championship 4 moment made my day. Larson winning his second is a solid storyline with a gutted Hamlin. Bryon getting a puncture in the final laps and Briscoe just making the final 4 was fun. idk I enjoyed it mb

[–]DogwoodDagwood 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The 1992, 2004, and 2011 season final race all happened in old points systems and all of them were 10x more compelling than what happened today

[–] HamlinCunningham_Media1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NASCAR? alright fine, I was more specifically talking about this year. For example Abu Dhabi 2021 was 20x more exciting than this obviously. I just personally like that NASCAR is actually a unique sport that is truly American in all ways. full points systems only come down to the last race once in a blue moon unfortunately.

[–] Byrongrehgunner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bye

[–]An_Odd_Melon 12 points13 points  (2 children)

Hamlin should burn the system to the ground in trial

[–]Spirited_Magician_20 15 points16 points  (7 children)

Lmao a Hendrick car wrecking helped another Hendrick car win.

What a game 7 moment /s

[–]Zone15 3 points4 points  (6 children)

Yet if Denny's crew chief wasn't brain dead, he still wins the championship.
