Jimmie says, "I can't believe we won this thing." Uhmm....really? #NASCAR

This has got to be a depressing development for a lot of you #NASCAR fans hoping Jimmie wouldn't do it again. He's just...unreal. It's sick!

//ELB//

Well it's been real folks ... and it's been fun ... so I guess you could say it's been real fun ... we're hitting the pillow .. Good night!

#Nascar On that note, see you all next weekend. Have a good week everyone. Hope your guy who ever he is did well.

#Nascar Ok so Tony and Ryan didn't do great, but at least Tony is still in the chase for the championship. He's only 155 back.

#Nascar Only 4 chasers in the top 10 so far.

#NASCAR fans may be disgusted that Jimmie cannot be stopped, but...he really can't, apparently. White flag.

#Nascar Joey and Jeffy side by side for 4th.

My take on this race: Jimmie Johnson takes everyone's best shot, STILL stands strong while everyone else crumbles around him. #NASCAR

#Nascar Newman still in 11th, Tony up to 14th

4 Laps to go! Top 5 ... 48, 17, 9, 24, 20 #nascar

10 Laps to go ... Top 10 48, 9, 17, 24, 33, 20, 07, 18, 1, 2 #nascar

#Nascar In the mean time, Newman is up to 12th, Tony dropped to 16th

jimmie has a 1 second lead on Kahne

#Nascar 11 laps for Kasey to catch Johnson

17 car passes Gordon

#Nascar Kasey takes 2nd from Gordon, Kenseth takes that postion and gets around Gordon

Jeff Gordon dropping back... Kahne and Kenseth charging to get Johnson #NASCAR

Kahne takes 2nd from Jeff

Jimmie to Jeff: Hasta! ... He just took Gordon's best shot and STILL got the lead. Damnnnnn, that guy is GOOD. #NASCAR

#Nascar Kasey moves into 3rd, driving high and tries to real both Hendrick cars in.

wow it's a possible 4 way battle for the lead #nascar

THis time, Don't wreck him, Jimmie. #NASCAR

Jimmie challenging Jeff for the lead ... Kahne going high!

#Nascar Jimmy gets a run on Jeffy and they're door to door

#Nascar Kahne and Kenseth still fighting for 2nd. Joey trying to get under Bowyer

Jeff Gordon takes the lead ... 17 challenging Kahne for 3rd

Whew

48 car really loose ... almost wrecked them both

Jimmy wiggles and Gordon takes the lead! woohoooo #Nascar

Gordon is driving his frickin ASS off! He must be tired of seeing Jimmie beat him. Love it! #NASCAR

#Nascar Jimmy and Gordon are still side by side. Kasey and Kenseth are side by side for 2nd

Jeff Gordon challenging Jimmie for the lead ... 17 and 9 chomping at their heals

He sure did. Knocked him straight LOL RT @p337: @WisSmokeFan We can't fault Stremme for not trying. Biffle just saved him.

DOn't wreck him, Jeff. #NASCAR

#Nascar Jeffy has a run on Jimmy - come on Jeffy!!

24 and 48 battling for the lead with 17 laps to go #NASCAR

ok now we're Green ... 17 to go #nascar

#Nascar Coming down to the green Jimmy doesn't get away this time.

Coming to green, gonna be 17 to go, 48-24-17-9-33. Here we go! #NASCAR

#Nascar Winner of this race has NEVER gone on to win the Championship

Chad has Jimmie set up for the short run, now. #NASCAR

Some of you are saying Stewart caused it; others saying Biffle. Eh. Again, we'll have to agree to disagree I guess. #NASCAR

check that ... nascar has called off the restart

lights are off on the pace car ... will restart with 18 to go #nascar

#Nascar Coming to green 18 to go. Jimmy on the bottom with Kasey behind him. Jeffie on the top with Kenseth behind him

@WisSmokeFan We can't fault Stremme for not trying. Biffle just saved him.

#Nascar Biffle lines up behind the #12 Stremme

the 16 team not happy with #blamestremme

@JennaFryer It looked like Stremme bounced off the wall and hit Biffle, causing the wreck?

@p337 I concur.

#Nascar Newman is shown in 14th, Tony 13th, Joey 8th

@WisSmokeFan I'd say Biffle was the only eligable

#Nascar Stremme hits the wall, gets into Biffle and turns him sideways. Ryan slightly nudged Biffle who went spinning through the grass

#Nascar Tony made it 4 wide passing Ryan, Biffle and Stremme. Ryan backed off and made it 3 wide. Ryan held back and Biffle/Stremme 2 wide

Just saw the replay. It WAS #blamestremme. You can't make this stuff up, folks. #NASCAR

4 wide at Lowe's Motor Speedway results in Biffle spinning. Caution #NASCAR

we had a four wide battle getting in to turn three that started that spin with the 12, 14, 16 and 39

You could see that coming with those guys racing three-wide like that, esp. w/ #blamestremme involved.

Who all was that? I heard Stremme but saw Biffle #NASCAR

#Nascar Caution Biffle spins

Ambrose says, "How many cars did that take out?!?!" #NASCAR

#Nascar Holy Cow Tony made it 4 wide and whew makes it around and moves into 13th

Too racy. Biffle ends up on the wrong end and spins. Caution. #NASCAR

DOh!

Greg Biffle is around ... caution

Brad Keselowski is a real talent folks ... he's running in 7th

DOn

#Nascar Keselowski is eying Bowyer. Joey is eying Keselowski

RT @keselowskiweb: ... BK behind Casey, next to Breadster. Kybosh in the mirror... -- I like that! 'Kybosh' LOL

Jimmie Johson once again got a fantastic restart and jumped out to a .5 second lead

#Nascar Coming to the green - Johnson doesn't have anyone pushing him this time, but he still gets out for the lead

Green Flag on lap 307 ... 26 to go

.@smokinace88 Cheer up Lacy. Dale Jr. is STILL beating that moron Denny Hamlin right now.

#Nascar Oh..and Waving!! To our relatives at the race and at home around Charlotte!!

Ok, back to the race. There's gonna be 26 to go, 48 is leading the 24, 9, 17 and 33. Can I get a what what. #NASCAR

#Nascar Going green this time by 26 laps to go.

@NASCARKaty Aw shucks. :-)

#Nascar JBurton 11, KuBusch 12, Biffle, Stremme, Stewart and Newman 16th

#Nascar 28 to go while they're cleaning the track. Johnson leads, JGordon, Kahne, Kenseth, Bowyer, Mears, Logano, Kese, Truex, KyBusch top10

I never heard. Did last nights trophy survive? #NASCAR

Can you believe Joey is 7th? FOr him, that's neck and neck with the leader. #NASCAR

Carl calls his blown engine "a mercy killing." Shewwwwww! Nice. #NASCAR

For the want of a nail a shoe was lost. for the want of a shoe a horse was lost... #NASCAR

ok folks ... just in case you've forgotten with all the yellows .. Top 10 is ... 48, 24, 9, 17, 33, 07, 20, 25, 1, 18 #nascar

Controversy in the press box, as @mforde takes the last hot chocolate from @nateryan, while my muscles get stiff from refusing the blanket.

#Nascar Edwards is finished - another Chase driver out for tonight

the 99 can just blew up on the restart ... Caution ... again

#Nascar 99 Car blows and engine, caution comes out once more.

Caution out right after the restart as the 99 blows an engine #NASCAR

Caution is out, 99 blew up on the restart. #NASCAR

Green Flag with 32 to go

RT @NASCARKaty: Lot's of interest for the ladies only racing site. -- Mostly from men?

#Nascar Going back to green with 31 to go

#Nascar Tony and Ryan came in and took 2 tires.

Chad Knaus, who has won three straight championships and a bazillion races, gets all upset at a caution. #overdramatic #calmdownchad

Gsnap won't boot for me at all now. I'll try it again later. @WisSmokeFan

Lot's of interest for the ladies only racing site.

Wouldn't it be great if I was right ALL the time and we agreed ALL the time??? That would rock! Unfortunately I'm wrong sometimes.

#Nascar Come on Kasey you can take him!!! Please

#Nascar So this was a caution for MMartin to get his lap back? Because Johnson was 1.9sec in front?

Caution for.... for.... FOr commercials. #NASCAR

#Nascar MMartin gets the lucky dog. So what was this one for?

Argh, Gilliland! I wanted him to have a good run in that No. 02 car. Too bad. #NASCAR

#Nascar Caution #8 on lap 300. 34 to go.

Caution is out

Caution is out for something I don't see yet.... #NASCAR

Caution out again #NASCAR

good racing in the top 10 for 3rd through 10th ... Kasey trying to reel in JImmie

#Nascar Joey 8th, Tony 13th, Newman 16th

@SummerDreyer @LindaPTaylor @TBayFinn email me or DM with your email and I will add you to the list

#Nascar Back under green Johnson keeps the lead. Kahne .8 back.

39 laps to go - 48, 24, 9, 17, 33, 07, 25, 1, 2, 20 #NASCAR

48 out to a decent lead ... Kahne running the high line

Green flag w/39 to go...Jimmie leads @kaseykahne. #NASCAR

@jr88Countrygirl if interested DM me or send me an email with your email so I can add you to the list.

Green Flag with 40 to go

Green flag...two strongest cars, side by side. 48 + 9 battle with 40 laps left.

@mrheadrick nope. I'm just looking for a new angle that showcases some of the great female writers that don't always get noticed.

should have a restart here with 40 to go #nascar

@Patti_Rodisch send me a direct msg or an email with your email address so I can add you to the list.

I stand corrected ... the smoke from the Papis car really was for a blown engine #nascar

@Uwila send me an email at katylindamood@gmail.com or send me a dm with your email so I can add you to mailing list

#Nascar Tony is being shown in 13th, Newman 15th (sigh). MMartin 19th 1st car 1 lap down.

race off pit road between the 9 and 48 was too close to call by the human eye ... even the transponder favors the 48 lol

Eh, most of you still disagree with me. Oh well. We'll just have to have a difference of opinion on this one. #NASCAR

#Nascar Jimmy Johnson barely edges Kasey out of the pits. Gordon, Kenseth, Mears, Bowyer, Truex, Kese, and Joey

very close race off pit road ... 48, 9, 24, 17, 07, 33, 1, 25, 20, 2 ... 07+7 24+2 #nascar

RT @jim_utter: Caution is for oil on track, not debris. -- Thanks

here comes the results of the money stop ...

ok folks ... the leaders are pitting ... Will Kasey be happy about this caution?

ok looks like the 13 car was smoking for a few seconds under slow motion ... looked like tire smoke to me ...

#Nascar Com on #14 and #39 crews...make 'em perfect stops!

#Nascar Thank goodness, Kasey was closing in on Newman.
