Congratulations to Chad Knaus for winning his fifth straight NASCAR championship with the number 48 Lowes Chevrolet.  Yes, Jimmie Johnson drives the car, and he is a damn good driver, but he's not so amazing as to be able to win five straight.

Knaus, on the other hand, is almost certainly the best crew chief ever seen in the sport.  His ability to get Johnson running up front under almost any condition is remarkable.  His knowledge of the tracks, how they change during the course of a race, and how the cautions are likely to fall, is the real reason the 48 team has brought home the trophy for five straight years.

So, congratulations Chad:

 

PS.  Denny Hamlin choked and Kevin Harvick is a tool.
