      @@darkcrypto_yt well because he only won the last race. Even though he was consistent he would’ve never beat Cindric Or Allmendinger in the championship in any other format. This one race decides the championship thing is bullshit.

      @@joshuapittman4663 imo it’s a good thing that hemric one it because it shows how flawed the points format is. And also just because you think that hemric isn’t deserving of the championship doesn’t mean that he doesn’t deserve it at all. Remember that every one of the 4 finalists did something to get here.

      @@darkcrypto_yt I was saying that he was undeserving to win the title. He was 100% deserving to be in the finals because he was consistent enough to point in and he was deserving to win the race. But he was not deserving of champion especially when Cindric and Allmendinger basically dominated the season.
      Funny enough, I predicted every champion before the race.
      “Nemechek may deserve the title more than anyone else, but Rhoades will probably win anyway.”
      “I hope Cindric or Dinger win, but watch Hemric become a winless champion”
      “Larson‘s gonna win”
      Pretty mad that I successfully picked Ben and Hemric.
      Larson’s my driver and had 10 wins so he’s the only one I’m glad won their title

    I saw you walking on pit road when I was in the infield experience, I would have said hi but you were already kinda far away.
    Also, that was one of the best finishes in the last 10 years in the Xfinity series for sure. I love having the championship within a reasonable range of where I live so I can go.
