Reed had such a large points lead with so few rounds, he could have cruised and still won the championship.
Windham has stuck around so many years, taking thirds and fourths as they came to him, now he will probably be SX champ. I don't really know how to think about it. On the one hand he will have the most points and winning a battle of attrition is still winning. On the other hand, Reed and Stewart are clearly faster riders. I bet a part of RC wishes he were still out there, he would have likely easily won this year and his NASCAR career isn't going so well.
