Smoke passed 118 cars that night. One of the best performances in NASCAR history.

@RACINGUS95 And you can still make 118 passes with 43 cars on the track. That means you pass cars, go to the back, and pass them again.

Let's be honest, while still very impressive, most of the field was just letting both these guys go all night.

I remember my whole house being on egg shells all night when smoke got the hole in the nose. Then he slowly made his way through the field. What a legendary moment in NASCAR history. Bring back this format!!

I don't care what everybody says, I loved the CoT era and 2011 was the absolute peak of that era. A great season which ended in the best way possible. Those times ain't combing back no more.

Carl Edwards is one of my favourite driver. I used to call him The Backflip Master. Sucks that he was that close to win his first title.

Yep Daniel Hemric is the new backflip man.
@bernardpomes814710 ай бұрын
I respected the way Carl Edwards raced people. He came so close so many times and it stinks he couldn't win a title. Hamlin is feeling that pressure. But this in no way reflects on how I see them as drivers. They were some of the best of a generation.

In my humble opinion, it wasn't Tony Stewart who won that championship... But Carl Edwards who lost...

I know it wasn't but anyone else find this and the chase itself a little too story driven? Car won one race prior and Tony 0 yet Tony gets 5 wins and Carl 1 more many times finishing 1,2. All the other chasers magically started having issues every race.

How? Carl won the pole, was fastest in the final practice, led the most laps in the race, avoided any mishaps, beat Tony off of pit road every time. He didn't give way anything, just drove a nearly perfect race. Tony just took it away through sheer force of will..
