He deserved it. He probably had a bunch of top 5 finishes and raced consistantly every week. Ryan Newman won a lot, but got off to a slow start and didn't race consistantly good.
Racing is strategy. There are a lot of laps to go around and you can't just try to go the fastest every single one of them. It's about going to the pits at the right time and other intangibles.
Maybe NASCAR should have more of a point difference between 1st and 2nd place so that teams that finish first get more points, and maybe you would see a Champion with more victories.\
Maybe.
