I love this season because I finally got to see Jeff win in person at the Phoenix race! I’ll never forget that feeling!

In reply to @drewjsnyder3. @@runrafarunthebestintheworld I've spent almost 20 years in sports media so living out of a suitcase is just a part of that life. But I love it and wouldn't change for the world.

Tony stewart has always been my favorite nascar driver. Seeing his david to goliath transformation this chase was unreal. All culminating in the most dramatic fashion with a tie. Not to mention that race had everything. Strategy, long run short run, rain, driving thru the field multiple times, the race flipping upside down etc still comes down to those two at the end. I will always believe the 2011 season is what inspired the eventual 2014 format.

As a Tony Stewart fan growing up it was awesome to see that championship run live. Just an amazing performance and battle between him and Edwards

In reply to @johnvandeventer8668. Can’t forget Gordon and Johnson’s battles at Atlanta and Martinsville and Regan Smith in the 78

What’s interesting about Austin Dillon’s championships is that both of them came down to the last race and saw him win by under a 10 point gap in the end. In 2011, he gets the Truck Series title by 6 points over Johnny Sauter, and in 2013, he gets the Xfinity Series title by 3 points over Sam Hornish.

Looking back on past seasons like this, make me so grateful for Nascar Classics.

Life long Carl Edwards fan growing up in Missouri. I’ve attended roughly 100 Nascar races, mostly from double dipping with season tickets at Kansas. But I’ve also had the privilege to experience the majesty of Talladega a dozen times. The 2011 Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway is the greatest race I’ve ever been to. It had absolutely everything and I loved seeing the 2 car tandems breaking off all afternoon. What an absolute classic! Would have loved to see Carl get the championship in the end. But you can’t deny that Tony put together one hell of a run to win that championship and we all got to witness some of the best racing the COT every provided us.
