i feel like the reason it was so exciting is because no one has raced at that race track before so i believe next year it'll probably be more tame i dunno
Daniel Hemric wrecks Jeffrey Earnhardt and as a result, Larson advances instead of Johnson. Didn’t think I’d be saying that before this race started lol.
Yeah, with Larson in his fucked up car, limping and hitting walls as he limps past Earnhardt to get into the playoffs. What a fucking crazy race, I can't wait for next year!
For the first inagurual race at the Roval, it's the best one all season and will always be remembered. This is the race that will get more fans into NASCAR
Much more of racing like this will bring fans like me BACK to Nascar. They lost me many, many years ago to Formula 1 and other such, much more skilled and technical road racing. Unfortunately most of that is done outside the US. It would be great to see Nascar bring that kind of experience widely to the US.
Not mad at Jimmie at all. He went for the win. He hasn’t had the speed to win the championship all year anyways so I think he would’ve rather have had the winners trophy.
This comment section surprises me. 7-8 years ago, everyone would be saying how much Johnson sucks. He has a few bad seasons and now everyone loves him. Lol. 😂
Kyle Busch has the same characteristics. As soon as he hits his 40's with a bad season, he'll get all the respect. But I'm a die hard Jimmie Johnson fan, and I have been for years
@@elizabethcummings1947 Nah, people only hate Jimmie because of how much he won. People hate Busch because of how much he wins AND because of his attitude
I wanted Truex to win because I'm a Truex fan but at the same time I wanted Jimmie to get a win but this is the worst possible thing that could have happened.. I'm happy for Ryan winning but it should've been Truex or Jimmie..
Jimmie Johnson is my #1 in NASCAR, and I would have been satisfied with a Truex-Johnson finish (Because Jimmie would be 8th in the play-offs and it would have been his best finish of the season, then going to Dover, his best track, with momentum, which is also the place of his most recent win) , and overly hype with a Johnson-Truex finish (because he'd have broken a 51 race winless streak. Truex is the only one of the big 3 that I respect (He lost some of it after he hit and spun Jimmie post-race tho). But yeah, this is the worst thing that could have happened to the pair of them
Too bad it was 110% into a corner apex that required more like 85% and some braking to about 45% to make the chicane lololol. Classic mistake coming in too hot like that. Never see that in F1.
can't believe it ( not blaming johnson) johnson was so close to making it to the next round of the chase but i have absolutely no problem with jimmie being that aggresive, he wanted that win so badly that he would even wreck truex on accident! now that's what i like in a driver if they have a chance at the win take it (but in this case jimmie didn't make it through to the next round) but nonetheless jimmie did a hell of a job sticking with truex at the end!
That's what I like to see. JJ didn't need that win to advance, but he still fucking went for it. There's nothing quite like that raw passion for victory.
More road courses and short tracks please. Need to adapt to the trash aerodynamic era were in and that’s the way to do it. Get rid of some of these trash mile and a half tracks that get 2 races a year. Will probably help the attendance a bit. Not saying toss the tracks completely , but limit it to 1 race. Need more stuff like THIS
That looked like old school racing, before the god-awful chase, when drivers drove their hearts out for the win instead of pinching points. My hat is off to Jimmy for surrendering his precious spot in chase to give the fans an actual race. Probably an easier decision when you have 7.
Every time I come back and watch this I can't help but appreciate how great of a commentator Dale Jr really is. Burton's over here screaming about points and the battle for 20th and Jr's just like shut up about the points we're about to have a great finish here. That's what I love to see. At the end of the day.... who cares about points, when you have a great race/finish unfolding.... That's what truly matters.
Finally. I've been watching the last four weeks waiting for either Kyle Larson or Blaney to win one. Sucks for Jimmie though, he deserved that one. Matter of fact a lot of guys did.
Sick to my stomach for Jimmie, I think he would’ve been better off trying to move Truex on exit of the chicane. Stoked for Blaney though, never thought we’d top the Chicagoland finish this year.
What a bad/rookie move by Jimmie.. at 1:10 in the video, when he made a move to the inside, he was losing control and had to hit the brakes... never had a chance of winning.
First Nascar Race in my life (iam from germany) & that Race just stunned me . Even the start of that Race, national anthem + c130 & so on .... iam even now impressed . Thanks for that awesome Show!
If McMurray won the race, it would've been the true wild card race. McMurray is the biggest wild card in NASCAR's recent history, it would've been perfect!
Such a wild ass finish, I mean I wasn’t really expecting Johnson and Truex Jr to get wrecked, but congratulations to Blaney for winning and advancing to the round of 12, also I’m pretty disappointed that Johnson didn’t make to the round of 12, but hey at least Hamlin didn’t make it
So basically, Blaney won this Race in the same way that Justin Haley won the Truck Race in Canada... The 2 Guys in front of him spun on the last corner, and was there to take advantage of the 1st win at the Roval...
Part of racing is being in the right place at the right time. How did Richard Petty win his 6th Daytona 500, the leaders crashed. Kyle Petty won his first race when the top 4-5 crashed. Geoff Bodine won his frist race when Earnhardt and Rudd crashed on the last lap.....Need I go on?
@@blee7442 they ran restrictor plates at the charlotte allstar race too. They could find a good balance in an engine package that gets them close to 200mph before the chicane and turn1 at Daytona. I know it prbly wont happen but a guy can dream :P
@@RealSprooseMoose well, it's not really dangerous to run normal engines at Charlotte whereas it is dangerous to do that at Daytona and Talladega. That's why i think it'll be tricky for them to run a road course race at either restrictor plate tracks.
I became a fan of blaney after Earnhardt JR. retired,told myself he’s my new guy I liked everything bout him. This was the first race I had been too since JR retired,never watched him grab a win. I came close once at the 600 when he ran out of gas on the backstretch. So FINALLY being there in person to watch my favorite driver win was unforgettable,not to mention the WAY he won seeing as I hate truex JR
Who remembers fall of 2006 when Ryan's father, Dave won a Busch race because the leaders wrecked in front of him, then he got passed by Kenseth who also spun out giving Dave the win, which was the fall Charoltte race btw, I remember watching that one, must be a Blaney thing lol but way to go Ryan!
1:18 Jimmie started to accelerate, but then he stopped to avoid being penalized. If he didn't accelerate and instead stopped immediately, he almost certainly would have won. If not, he'd have gotten second. But thinking straight in the heat of the moment can be difficult, no mater the experience

I was there
@@slickyricky45 is the 600 going to be roval?
it's tradition, they will never do that if they do they are stupid for doing it

Lol
😂😂😂😂
Alexcov You should have put “Jimmie Johnson: Hold my beer” lol
Alexcov oh yeah.......BOOM!!!!! Confetti.
Have you ever?
That was the best race in at least 3 years but man I feel awful for Jimmie.
Time for Jimmie to retire (coming from a Hendrick fan).
+The Infamous One Said no one.
Best race in 3 years? Recency bias much?
Jeffrey earnhatdt fucked Jimmie
No I never!
Daniel Hemric wrecks Jeffrey Earnhardt and as a result, Larson advances instead of Johnson. Didn’t think I’d be saying that before this race started lol.
If Larson ends up winning the championship as a result of this, he's sending one of those two (or both) a big thank you note at the end of the year.
@@stosh5082 I hope he does win it beacause I picked him to be the champion at the start of the season
@@oliveiradmdiogo Only time will tell.
That’s like when Newman wrecked Larson so he can advance and knock out Gordon
Yeah, with Larson in his fucked up car, limping and hitting walls as he limps past Earnhardt to get into the playoffs.
What a fucking crazy race, I can't wait for next year!
For the first inagurual race at the Roval, it's the best one all season and will always be remembered. This is the race that will get more fans into NASCAR
Alberstone Cup Series not sure if it will get more people into it, but it’s definitely the finish nascar needed for this race
This was my 2nd favorite race this season.
@LincolnLoudFan2018 The Daytona 500 was #1

Not mad at Jimmie at all. He went for the win. He hasn’t had the speed to win the championship all year anyways so I think he would’ve rather have had the winners trophy.
This. It sucks he's out but who honestly had him moving on past the round of 16. He went for it and I applaud him for doing so
I was enraged and pissed off for about 30 mins then I stopped and thought about the big picture
I'm a Truex fan and I'm not even mad. Great battle.
Anyone would have done the same thing in his position
I agree. He had to go all in and it didn’t work out.
Roval by far, has to return 2019
ohhhhh yeah it will for sure
This comment section surprises me. 7-8 years ago, everyone would be saying how much Johnson sucks. He has a few bad seasons and now everyone loves him. Lol. 😂
I still hate him, fuck Jimmie.
People hated Dale Sr and Jeff Gordon back in the day, but they all learn at some point or another........ Respect the GOATS
Kyle Busch has the same characteristics. As soon as he hits his 40's with a bad season, he'll get all the respect. But I'm a die hard Jimmie Johnson fan, and I have been for years

Funny thing is, I got an ad with JJ in it before watching this.

@@elizabethcummings1947 I feel your pain.
He gave 110% just like any racer would. I hate that it ended like this and it’s devastating as a Johnson fan but I’m glad he took the shot.

Do you mean best*?
@@Oat_meal_YT yeah😂
Agree!! More road courses NASCAR!!!
Dodge77 same
Chicagoland, I thought, couldn't be topped. I was wrong :D
See how Racing is much more competitive when you turn left AND right
That’s why Gt3 racing is my favorite
Larson is buying a bunch of lottery tickets this week.
Gulf-City Umbreon
I think he didn’t win any
Almirola is too
Gulf-City Umbreon 9696 dollar straight, dollar box!
If Larson didn't have bad luck he wouldn't have any at all
This was an insane race
That's what I like to see. JJ didn't need that win to advance, but he still fucking went for it. There's nothing quite like that raw passion for victory.
Knocked him out of the playoffs tho
To anyone saying blaney stole this win, remember he climbed from 21st to 1st in under 10 laps, that takes more than luck
Awesome race and finish sucks Jimmie got knocked out but hey one of my favorite drivers blaney finally won so awesome
Bowman Nation88 ur bowman driver is doing so well
*close race for the lead on the final lap*
NBC: GUYS LOOK AT THIS RACE FOR 20TH!
Best NASCAR Race I have ever seen! Im a Truex Fan, but man, I loved that finish!

Decades ago, when I discovered F1, I stopped paying any attention to Nascar.
A whole season of these, in the US, would bring me and many others back.
Don’t blame Jimmie. As Dale sr said, second place is just the first loser.
1:13 Jr's voice at the end "OH HE'S SPINNING!!!"

He sounds like a cartoon character

Good for blaney.
More Roval races please!
On a side note, congrats JMac on a solid 2nd!!
Probably the last top 5 he'll ever get
Sadly that’s probably true :(
@@JackLikesTrackhouse I mean we have Talladega too
Left Turn Productions he could get a top 5 at martinsville too
Congrats Ryan Blaney and the 12 whole 12 team
Blaney always wins in dramatic fashion
Both of the Aggressives go around!
RIP Jimmie Johnson 2004 to 2018
What a BIZARRE FINISH! Second win for Blaney! Why does this remind me of Daytona with the 43 and 21 crashing to the finish? :P
What a bad/rookie move by Jimmie.. at 1:10 in the video, when he made a move to the inside, he was losing control and had to hit the brakes... never had a chance of winning.
Carried WAYY too much energy into that turn, I think he got into the 'battle' and forgot it wasn't a banked left oval.
Dale jr *screeching intensifies*
Man, those last laps got me on my feet. What an insane race and finish!
I got a Johnson valvaline add for this video 😂
Cream On My Memes same it was about him shining his trophies which is hilarious

Oh my man what a race.
Some people are saying that they handed Blaney 1st place.
I guess that's true, but no one handed him 3rd place from which he was handed 1st place.
Jimmie can't even get a top 2 finish? or go to round 2? despicable. way to go jj
If you didn’t think this was great there is something wrong with you. Edit: Now let’s hope that this year will be more exciting.
That was fast! Also I'm pretty bummed that Johnson is out.. But great race never the less
crazy action packed race!
I can’t believe Johnson didn’t make it I’m so sad I’m crying 😭
Holy shit this was a awesome finish
If McMurray won the race, it would've been the true wild card race. McMurray is the biggest wild card in NASCAR's recent history, it would've been perfect!
This should go down as one of the greatest races in NASCAR history!

what would have happend if Jimmie Johnson did not lock the brakes? we will find out later this year
They should race on the Homestead Roval for the season finale. Now that would be cool.
this track is a fucking goldmine for entertainment. what a race holy shit.
Say what you will about this finish, but this was one of the last great moment where Jimmie gave it his all and you gotta respect that!
Boy, look at those empty stands.... I stopped going 10 years ago, and see I'm not alone
Good thing Kyle Larson had a four leaf clover on his car. That was insane luck to transfer in after the final lap chaos!
