A Bittersweet Ending | NASCAR Daytona Race Review & Analysis

[@2d_enjoyer]

What’s funny is Jimmie Johnson technically ran two less races then everyone else and still almost made the playoffs

[@mattcecil6692]

He would have made it if NASCAR weren't dogs and had accepted the Hendrick appeal at Charlotte when they DQed him despite overwhelming evidence to prove NASCAR was wrong

[@scapegoat413]

It’s ridiculous Jimmie wasn’t allowed to show up when he tested positive for the virus(was it a real positive?) and just let him be secluded from everyone else, go straight to and from his car and leave without any other driver interactions...

[@ryanking9115]

yes It makes me want to laugh with insanity because he lost 45 points A the coke 600 because NASCAR screwed him. And he did screw himself some but it hurts because he got covid 19 or it got him If he had just scored 7 points at Indy If he raced he would be in. Ugh humbly

[@crazybut6641]

Don’t forget he got put out side of the top 12 in points and got shity draws definitely cost him some stage 1 points aswell

Crazy But He only got outside the top 12 because of Indy basically. That or Coke 600, I think.

[@ramizlatif657]

As a Jimmie Johnson fan I’m going to sum up the last few years and the comments from others we can all agree on: 1. Jimmie Johnson is the 🐐 2. Richard Petty is the 🐐 3. Dale S is the 🐐 4. Jeff Gordon is the 🐐 5. We all have our personal goats and that’s fine 6. Pain 7. Jimmie could have easily have had more than 7 championships in his career 8. In 2012 if he didn’t blow a tire at Phoenix and have the mechanical failure at homestead, he could have had 8 championships today and been fighting 9 9. Maybe there should be a petition to add Jimmie to the playoffs lol 10. Jimmie has had terrible luck the last 3 years 11. Cliff Daniels is an excellent crew chief 12. Hendrick should move to a 3 car team 13. Jimmie is a class act and a role model to all 14. When Jimmie wrecks (not including plate tracks) he wrecks himself not others (not saying he’s never wrecked anyone). 15. Guys like Hamlin Logano Keselowski Busch and Harvick are hated because they are always aggressive and crash others, like today Hamlin and Logano wrecking and ending jimmies chances 16. Cole Custer and Austin Dillion are a waste of a playoff spots 17. Jimmie had zeros for 2 races (80 - 100 points lost) and still finished 6 points below Byron and Dibby. That’s a champion spirt. 18. The rule should be you win and ur in if ur in the top 20 in the standings, this guy Custer was 25th in the standings before his win smh 19. Let’s go get 10 more trophies 🏆 20. I’m not crying your crying 😭

[@Sturmbannfuhrer21]

I mean let’s be honest Jimmie wasn’t going to get #8 without a miracle happening. While he had bad luck the last few years in the years prior he must of used up all his luck because he seemed to have a golden horse shoe a lot of the time with strategy calls from Knaus. If anything the last few years have been his luck averaging out.

[@llLittleNicky]

Keselowski won that 2012 championship by being the better team. You can’t base success off of what ifs buddy. Also you bring up luck, in NASCAR you put yourself in position to make your own luck. So, I just feel like a few of your points made above are irrelevant and absolutely biased.

Man, that was awesome awesome race and seeing Byron pull away for his cup win is truly amazing. I was a big Gordon fan and when he retired, I kind of of lost interest in NASCAR. Then I started getting back into when Byron Started three years ago because of his young talent and also since I go to Liberty. This year has been rough for him and I was worried that him and Chad weren't working out very well. Even in this race I was questioning their call to pit with like 15 to go and they were in 3rd (that just proves how much I actually know about a good strategy). But now after this win I can see how much of an Impact Chad has had on this team. Also, I was really rooting for Jimmie because of much I respect him and I really did hate to him go out like that. This was a pretty long comment but I also wanted to mention that Watching your videos has really helped me get even more into NASCAR as all of your videos are great content.

[@agentjf36]

I loved watching Jimmie Johnson moving through the pack at the end of stage 2, probably one of my favorite parts of the whole race.

Overall, this year’s NASCAR Cup Series Coke Zero Sugar 400 race is pretty amazing! It’s awesome to see William Byron get his 1st ever win in the NASCAR Cup Series ever since he made his first debut back in 2018! Looks like 5 years later after when Jeff Gordon got his final win at Martinsville back in 2015, William Byron finally got the 24 car back into the Victory Lane once again at Daytona! It’s a shame that Jimmie Johnson missed the playoffs once again just like last year but luckily he made 15 years into the NASCAR playoffs in his career. Hopefully we get the 48 car back into Victory Lane soon with a new driver. Also, I thought there wasn’t going to be that many big ones during this race, but turns out it was only for the final stage due to a lot of drivers wanting to get into the playoffs this year. It’s also ashamed that Johnson got involved in one of the wrecks which made him miss the playoffs but luckily he still made it to the Top 20 at the end. So overall, this was a pretty amazing Coke Zero Sugar 400 Daytona race! Can’t wait for Darlington next weekend along with seeing all the throwbacks for this year! 😃😁👍🏎🏁
