David Stremme could have driven the cars Hendrick and Chad gave Jimmie to a championship. Why not honor Hendrick and Knaus. Jimmie...blech!!

Think about this...#NASCAR has been around for 61 years. No one has ever won four straight -- until five laps from now.

Jimmie Johnson is less than seven laps away from a record fourth straight championship. #NASCAR

Jimmie: "Can we catch the leader?" Chad: "No. You cannot." Jimmie: "Is that a dare?" Chad: "No. That is not a dare. That is a fact." #NASCAR

Anyway, there's 14 laps to go, Hamlin leads Kyle by 3.2 seconds. Big weekend for Denny. Jimmie is 6th, Mark is 11th. #NASCAR

WHOA!!! Kyle Busch: "This is why I can't ever win a championship. Can't ever take a second. Always trying too hard." #NASCAR

Kyle (triple sarcastically): "Awesome. Just unbelievably awesome. Couldn't be prouder to lose this race for you guys." #NASCAR

Kyle starting a meltdown: "IT'S F----- OVER!!!" He's second, folks. #NASCAR

Kyle crew chief Dave Rogers says, "Back up a little then." Kyle doesn't appreciate it and says, "Got a funny guy." #NASCAR

Kyle, still sarcastically: "I couldn't be happier I handed my teammate the win. Showed him how to do it." #NASCAR

By the way, Kyle is second. Hamlin leads with 29 laps to go. Jimmie is 7th, Martin is 13th. #NASCAR

Kyle, very sarcastically: "I've never been so happy to drive these race cars. Goddddd, thank you so much!" #NASCAR

Jimmie says Gordon should "just let off" instead of racing him so hard. #NASCAR

Jimmie is upset with Gordon...he wants Jeff to get out of the way. #NASCAR

Jimmie said he's kind of loose so he's just going to ride for a minute. Chad said that's ok, but they have "a couple squirrels" coming.

The Brothers Busch race for the lead, then Denny gets it! No idea who will win this, very even race. 44 to go. #NASCAR

Kurt Busch took two tires, so he's the leader. Kyle is 2nd. Jimmie is 8th, Mark Martin is all the way back in 22nd. #NASCAR

Jeff Gordon is so incredibly frustrated. I feel bad for him, listening to his voice. #NASCAR

Crucial pit stops coming up! This should be it. #NASCAR

Caution, I think for debris. #NASCAR

@M_Albee Pretty well. He's starting to consider it HOME now, that's a big part of the battle won. At least he feels he has a "place"

RT @CandiceSpencer: Mark Martin is asking his team for encouragement. He's currently P15

Just realized Jimmie Johnson has led only 28 laps this race. He sucks. (that's a joke, for those of you w/no sense of humor) #NASCAR

#Nascar. I'm OK with Jeff Burton winning. It's nearly impossible to dislike Jeff Burton.

Great news!! #NASCAR is a trending topic!!!

LOL!!! RT @RidinWithRowdy: Hanging in Kyle's favorite spot, 2nd, with 62 to go.

Jeff Burton leads Kyle, Kurt, then Denny. RCR would LOVE to close out this horrible year w/a win. #NASCAR

Restart coming w/69 to go...Hamlin leads Burton, Kyle, Kurt, Bowyer...Jimmie 9th, Martin 12th. #NASCAR

RT @Mc_Driver: Good race right now. Fun to see Montoya and Stewart. To very strong willed individuals. They will fight, then laugh about ...

Kenseth just radioed to McMurray. They ended with McMurray saying, "Have fun!" Matt said, "See ya." #NASCAR

Spin by Robby Gordon. Caution is out w/ 74 to go. #NASCAR

First time in at least a month, every one of you tweeps say you're enjoying the race and not one person has used the 'B' word. #NASCAR

RT @ColeAnastz: How about its JJ's decade! LOL! -- Yeah...day, month, year, decade, era, SPORT! Geez

Kurt Busch is your leader. Hamlin 2nd is .4 sec behind. Johnson is back up to 5th, but Martin lags behind in 14th. Looks like JJ's day/year

Gordon: "I don't know where the car we had at the beginning of this race went, but it's gone. Completely gone." #NASCAR

RT @jpalmjr: Tony's spotter: well, he got us. Tony: we deserve it though.

Really good battle up front w/Hamlin (leader) and Kurt Busch (on his back bumper). 95 laps left in the season...Johnson 7th, Martin 12th.

Glad to see #NASCAR going out strong. RT @dhamsbiggestfan: Best race by far this season! So much happening! I'm actually awake!

#Nascar That's one of the reasons Dale Sr was the intimidator. He was good at intimidating and causing the other guy to him him.

#Nascar Had this been Dale Sr. he would have gone up there & annoyed Tony until Tony got pissed and got into him. Then Tony would sit a lap

Prob. true RT @FThrottle: These rivalries mean nothing for next year. It's the last race drivers know they have zero to lose for retaliation

RT @mikehembree: Somewhere, Richard Petty and Bobby Allison, the original masters of "payback," are smiling. #nascar

Hamlin leads Kurt Busch right now just after the restart with 105 laps to go. #NASCAR

Montoya tells spotter Tab Boyd, "Make sure the 14 doesn't do anything stupid." #NASCAR

RT @drusylla29: So why did Denny get a one lap and JPM a 2 lap penalty? -- JPM was just warned by #NASCAR not to do anything and he did.

I'll tell you what...the way #NASCAR is going out with a bang this year in terms of rivalries could set a fun tone for 2010!

JPM was just given a two-lap penalty for spinning Stewart. That's fair. #NASCAR

Back-to-back nights of rivalries! A little Stewart/Montoya action never hurt anyone! Love it. #NASCAR

Spin! It's Stewart...and was tapped by Montoya apparently! Whoa nelly! #NASCAR

Jimmie's spotter Earl Barban w/soothing words: "You're doing a fine job out there, my man. Fine job. Just keep giving it what it'll take."

RT @kennybruce: 88 looking 4 a caution: Maybe I should just throw my tear off out the (expletive) window, maybe they’d see it. #NASCAR

Jimmie: "What am I doing wrong trying to pass people? Can you see it?" Spotter: "No sir." #NASCAR

JPM coming back to the track. Oh yeah, and Kurt Busch is winning now. #NASCAR

RT @Princess_sara9: is the hole is Kahne's roof obvious? His spotter sees it. -- I keep trying to see it and I can't.

RT @mikehembree: 88 has a flat right-rear tire. More and more woes stack up for Junior. Season can't end too soon. #nascar

Twitter + #NASCAR = Great tweets like this. RT @19Spotter: Drug testing is great policy for #NASCAR. How about a freaking IQ test?

Pit-road jam-up explained....RT @19Spotter: 96 meant to turn into garage. Missed it. So he just stopped. Genius. #NASCAR

If what JPM said about Tony is true, I guarantee I'm going to be keeping my mom away from him next time she comes to a #NASCAR race!

Jimmie decided to come down pit road there, so he's 23rd. Harvick leads, gonna be 144 to go on the restart. Martin is 25th.

According to @jpmontoya's radio comments, he believes Tony Stewart loves mothers.

Gordon: "1 of these days, #NASCAR going to say something about lead car speeding up to pit road, which is the dumbest thing I've ever seen."

RT @nateryan: Very choice words from @jpmontoya for Tony Stewart. "They should suspend that (insert 12-letter word here)." #nascar

HARD racing between two hard-nosed drivers, Stewart and Montoya. I love that stuff. #NASCAR

JPM in the wall #NASCAR

Ok, so restart here with 155 to go...Harvick and Burton lead, JJ is 7th, Martin is 13th. #NASCAR

Why is Jimmie so upset? This isn't his parade. Guys race him hard, I don't have a problem with that. I like JJ, but it's a RACE, OK? #NASCAR

Some of you ask if I'll tweet during the offseason. I'll make you an offer -- if you keep going to SceneDaily.com, I'll keep tweeting. Deal?

Chad and JJ happy times on the radio: "I lost a bunch of spots to the 42 and had to check up. Outside of that, we're rollin!" #NASCAR

RT @DiecastDude: If you had Steve "don't worry we'll fix it" Letarte as a crew chief you'd be frustrated too. -- That's what he JUST said

RT @nateryan: The answer from Johnson: "You find that f@#$ing 42 spotter and ask him for some respect!" #nascar

@WendyVenturini I could go another few weeks! Then again...I'll just go ahead and take the time off. Have a good one.

How about RCR??? Harvick 1st, Bowyer 3rd, Burton 4th! (Mears 18th). But damn, nice day so far! #NASCAR

Gordon thinks he has a flat, but it's still running. Letarte told him to ride it out. Gordon has a high level of frustration today. #NASCAR

Back to green...Stewart leads Harvick and Bowyer, Martin fourth, Johnson sixth. #NASCAR

@espressoshot I haven't seen any... that doesn't mean they weren't there, I just wasn't paying attention. LOL

@18kiara It does that sometimes. Do you usually use Raceview?

Stewart chooses the high line for the restart. #NASCAR

@AllRacingFan He pitted. I think he was the lucky dog and stayed out... then pitted with the lap down cars.

We have a local restaurant here called Paisano's... the commercials are SO annoying....

@TheDalyPlanet Why not??? :-(

Alright nvm. I think he may have been the lucky dog? #NASCAR

Scott Speed is being shown as the leader. #NASCAR

@trinity929 No problem!

@18kiara I love his spotter!

Stewart would like a tearoff. #NASCAR

Yellow is out. Ambrose. #NASCAR

Seriously, ESPN, PLEASE switch the race booths around. It would work so much better... #NASCAR

Breeze is picking up on the roof...the storm seems to be getting closer, meteorologist Massill notes.
