You didn't hear him yelling and screaming?Kahne gave him a fantastic run, but I'm glad to see Tony get it. It is his home town.

there is nothing greater than being a fan of a driver and seeing them WIN!

This is great. Tony said he'd give Greg Zippadelli (crew chief) a $50K bonus if he won. Zippadelli's bank account just grew.... Gave him a new vette when he won the championship.After race 26 though, they're back on even ground!!
Heard they took Johnson to a hospital. Post wreck interview, he said it was the hardest hit he's ever had. Ouch!!

Glad to see Stewart win it, and was kinda hoping Kahne could reel him in a little closer. But Stewart just seemed to focus on being smooth, held his own track, and drove away with it.
Great race!
J. Gordon may have fixed his jinx; he was down as far as 14th, with 30+ laps to go, and managed an 8th place finish. :shrug:

"reel him in a little closer"
You make it sound like he won by a football field. To be exact, Stewart won by 0.794-seconds -- about 5 car-lengths
It was an awful lot closer than you think.
It was a fantastic race!
Mike,
Did they say "why" they took JJ to the hospital? I thought he got out of the car?
Or course, it was on fire.
Hopefully it is nothing. I'm not a JJ fan but out of respect for those that are like NannyPam and Morgie.

Ok - I just saw that. Hummm. Maybe it was just one of those panic things. Hopefully everything is ok.
Short term memory loss is a classic symptom for a concussion and definitely requires a period of observation just in case it is more severe.

But wait, there's more...
We got home from Ga. in time for the last 30 or so laps but had listened to it on the radio until then ... needless to say, DQ was jumping, clapping, hootin' and hollerin' when Tony crossed the bricks. 
When I heard JJ say post-crash that he didn't remember driving back to pit road, my first thought, too, was 'concussion' and that he oughta get checked out. NASCAR.com's article on the matter says he refused treatment, but I thought a trip to the in-field care center was mandatory following any crash that (essentially) takes out your car, in which case, this did. I wouldn't imagine JJ being able to make a rational decision about treatment so quickly after blacking out, so they shouldn't have allowed him the option, IMO.

Are you on restriction?

If they drive the car back to the pits or garage, they're not required to go to the infield care center. Looks like they picked up on his memory loss comment and checked him again.crabcake said:We got home from Ga. in time for the last 30 or so laps but had listened to it on the radio until then ... needless to say, DQ was jumping, clapping, hootin' and hollerin' when Tony crossed the bricks.
