2005 Nextel Cup Champion is..............

[OUTDOORNUT]

Post your official guess before the drop of the green flag. Winner will receive a "that a boy", there is no monetary prizes here! ha

I'm going with my heart this year (the last 10 years for that matter) and picking The Man - Mark Martin

I think they have been saving their very best for last!

[lawdog]

I'd like to say Rusty, because I think it'd be a great way for him to go out, but in reality, I just don't think anybody has anything for the 20 the way he's running.

[ShadrapMan]

Kurt Busch Go 97!!

[Double D]

I'm with lawdog on #20. As long as there are no big wrecks I don't think anyone else can take that Home Depot car.

16-Biffle

I'm going with Kurt Busch, he has all 6 test dates left, and stewart only has three.

[woodyjdh]

Tony all the way-plain and simple. Very consistant as of the last 1/2. But I don't see Rusty, or Mark resting on their laurels either, they are gonna give'r all they got!

[JohnMickish]

I stole this from Jaysky's. It says alot when you look at it, Tony has 3 tests left, Roush has 15. The 97 did not test this week and won't test for D'ega, so that leaves 6 out of 8 tracks to test at for him alone, not counting the other cars in the stable. That is going to be tough to beat

Tests left for the Chasers: (tracks planned..so far)

1. #20-Tony Stewart 3 (Lowe's)

2. #16-Greg Biffle 3 (Lowe's)

3. #2-Rusty Wallace 1

4. #48-Jimmie Johnson 4

5. #97-Kurt Busch 6 (Lowe's)

6. #6-Mark Martin 3 (Lowe's)

7. #19-Jeremy Mayfield 0 (none)

8. #99-Carl Edwards 1

9. #17-Matt Kenseth 2

10. #12-Ryan Newman 1

I'd like to see Johnson or Rusty win it but I think Kenseth will win his 2nd cup. I'm hoping stewart or Martin finish 10th.

O Nut. have you been out on the big lake lately?

[lawdog]

How many tests do the 18 & 11 have to help the 20?

What about the 5, 24 & 25 for the 48?

I'd think you need to look at that to complete that picture...

I don't think testing can make a championship anyway. It can keep you in it if you go to a place where you were maybe going to be off and you find somehting, but I don't think testing alone can win this thing. How many times have you heard a guy going into a race saying that "we had a real good test here" but then they don't run so good??? I couldn't count the number of times.

[Eric Wettschreck]

My brain tells me to say the 20 car.

However, I'm going with my heart on this one and saying the 6 car is going to take home the chrome.

Ran,

I hit the Knife last weekend chasing Salmon, I was a tad disapointed with 5 Coho and 1 King, ofcourse there was fits full of Lakers also. Hit the Lester Tuesday night after Mondays rains and was only rewarded with 3 Lakers. The graph was full from 80 FOW into 65 FOW, but couldn't get the Kings to go. Might head out this weekend, but the winds don't look that great.....yet!

[Sifty]

I'm going with the 20. I just think they are hit there stride right and should run away with the cup.

Good point lawdog, they didn't say how many the other teams had. Now you had to go and blow my whole line of thinking!!

[NAPAFISH]

I think it will be between Smokey and the Jerk

Little "E" and Harvick didn't make it, who do you mean? Oh, I bet you mean Mr. Busch. You can call him Mr. Champion, thank you very much.

[otto_man]

i'm going with Kenseth. he's on a roll right now!

Lucky 17...

[PP Angler]

I'd love to see the 19 or 6 car!!

[20carrocks]

Tony Stewart of course! He can drive anything, anywhere. Bug eyes Biffle won't win, Unibrow Johnson won't, nor Horseface Edwards, or Boring Kenseth and Rubberface Martin. Kurt Busch is a good driver, but he's a million points out of it now.

[OUTDOORNUT]

It is nice to see they have computers in the Special Education classes these days! Your mommy must be very proud of you!

[NAPAFISH]

That was kind of a low blow dont ya think??????
