Johnson didn't dominate the Chase as much as Edward's blew his and everyone elses chances away with the dumb move he made at Talledaga that took out about 5 chase cars.  That was the difference in the Chase.  Throw that race away,  and the 99 car was there every bit as much as Johnson was.  Good for Jimmy to win, but Carl threw it his way.

I think Carls a better wheelman but beat himself. THE smartest man in racing Johnsons crew chief. He's  ahead of evrybody in so many areas that everybody is playing catch-up.

its too bad knaus' legacy will forever be tainted by rules scandals.

Hows does being the points leader and handed the POLE when qualifying is rained out hand you the win without really racing?

Carl Edwards dumb move at TALLADEGA might have cost him the championship ( at least he will be thinking that next time ) but the #48 driver , crew chief and team did what they had to and will likely do it again but not 4 in a row, NASCAR would not want that.

knaus is the best and i would agree edwards has better car control but i think one would have to credit johnson a little more even though it's so frickin boring when he wins to me...

he doesn't make as many mental errors out there or at least the big ones...that is as much a part of it than bravado or strategy...
