They deserved to win.
Mike Alsop was smarter than the rest of the field put together, and Morgan can drive and has almost as good street smarts.
I would have been very disappointed had they lost this last round because of something stupid, like that last fuel stop.
Congrats to them and hope they do well in the real Bullrun, which is running right now, and will finish in Key West this Friday.

I was cheering for the Fbody too. I was glad to see them win it, I REALLY didnt want to see the Olds team win. I just never really liked them on the show.. then they did that crap to team Charger. I mean I can understand they didnt want to risk it, but at some point good sportsmanship should overrule greed.

They were good from the beginning. Never playing games, just good skills. oh well, maybe the time bonus game they played

I was in AC at Trump Marina on Sun/Mon. nights and this years Bull Run from Montreal to Key West had a stop over night at the casino. met some cool guys with amazing cars. There were over 100 cars/suv's/exotics. Here's some pics......

I totally agree with you. there was something about them that I really didn't like from the very beginning. I kept hoping that their terrible navigation skills would drop them off the end of the leader board but somehow they managed to snake by. I wanted to see the Trans Am, F150, and Charger as the final 3. I would have rather seen the truck win than the olds!

That would be awesome to have a C5 on the next one. are they for sure having a second season? if so I can't wait to see it. now just find yourself a hot co-driver and you'll have the right formula for victory :-)

It was a toss up between the F-150 and the Trans Am for me. I'm glad one of them won.
- I think the F150 boys were the most honest in "playing by the rules", but the Alsops (Trans Am) definitely played the smartest overall.
- I can't believe the "maroons" in the Olds got as far as they did.
- I'm glad the Lotus went when it did, what a pair of ******.
- I'd love to have that Charger, what a beautiful car, and I loved his plates "Mr Angry". Plus the dialog between the two New Yorkers was hysterical.

Just FYI - there was supposed to be a C5 there: Mine
They called me repeatedly, emailed me, asking me to register. I wasnt going to, but after enough nagging I finally agreed.
And then, of course, they promptly forgot about me. Oh well, such is life. I didnt watch the show anyway

I agree they earned the win.
Where I disagree is in the driving aspect. The most important skill anyone can bring to that competition is NAVIGATING and TACTICS. The driving is actually relatively minor in comparison.
