Hey @DaleJr, been to bed yet?

In regard to that 1-2 finish, some fans were wondering why Johnson didn't go for the pass.
Did you notice we weren't in a tight pack? No one was in line so no push for a pass. https://t.co/BZDO1gBjHp

That's exactly it. When we ride up top it's such a different race. If you pull down the guy behind takes your spot. https://t.co/FefrqKEcFF

And as for what some NASCAR fans called a "boring" finish:
The leader does what's best for himself. It might have been boring but it was well played by @DaleJr. https://t.co/ot5CKxthEc
