NASCAR - Miami

Miami - Ford EcoBoost 400 - Matt Kenseth lead the most laps and finished second, doing just about as much as he could, Jimmie Johnson did not cooperate... Matt Kenseth lost the championship by 19 points... Last week put him in a 28 point deficit going into today's race. Not much to say about the race, not thrilled at the outcome, really wanted Dale Jr. to win. And am not a Jimmie Johnson at all, definitely didn't want to see him win the Championship. Was not pleased with the announcers comparing him with Earnhardt and Petty. If not for the Chase, he would not have won 6 Championships. 

Congratulations Denny Hamlin!!!
