What's really interesting to me is that Jimmie is the third NASCAR "centric" to win it, because we don't count Smoke as a regular in 96 (he was racing only part time in the Busch/Xfinity series).
1970 Donnie Allison
1996 Tony Stewart
2014 Kurt Busch
Only Busch was running full time in the top NASCAR series the year he won it.
It's also not the first time a driver who has finished lower than another to have won it. I don't know who votes and exactly what the parameters are but they may have gotten this one wrong....
