#48 Win the Chase

[bassNspear]

I believe that Jimmie will win the Cup this year. he is due. I believe that he will have the outright lead at the end of the year. What everyone else think?

[harvey lee]

IF he doesnt choke.I would guess Kenseth.

[bassNspear]

jimmie will win it

[Sifty]

If jimmie does not win the chase. I would look to one of the RCR cars to win the chase.

You guys have your drivers all mixed up. IF Jeff Gordon doesn't win it, then I think Kenseth will win. One of these days Jimmie's bad luck early on in the race will bite him in the hinder. They've been able to bounce back during races in the past, but sooner or later the unlucky bug gets you.

[PierBridge]

It's better to be lucky then good with this STUPID points system, if not Johnson would be looking at his 3rd straight title....

[Meaney]

i would also agree to kenseth winning it

[Cyberfish]

JJ won't Win! He is my A team pick for the last races on the fantasy league. He will win a couple, at lowes pretty sure bet, but think he will get a DNF too.

I would love to see Mark win it, but my guess is Harvick or Kenseth.

I think the LUCKY HORSESHOE Jimmy has you know where is all used up just like the last two years! I'm thinking the 17 or 29, But will be cheering for a Gibbs car.

[bassNspear]

Are you all smoking stuff. Fact is if you look over the coarse of the last few years, hes been the best driver out there. Also, if it was not for a race with the 10 races, JIMMY would have won it the last 3 years. #48 in 1st Place

If I'm not mistaken, I think Lawdog had figured out that Gordon would have won the cup the first year the chase started.

Can anyone ('dog) confirm this?

[lawdog]

I didn't figure it out, NASCAR.com had the real points on there that first season right along side the fake "Chase" points and yes the 24 scored the most points. Tony would have won under either system last year so he is legit. Kurt Busch the phony champion was mathematically eliminated with three races to go when he won the fake championship that should be 24's fifth!

Some debate whether Johnson did some experimenting prior to the chase that cost him some points that he wouldn't have done with the chase, but we don't really know about what that cost him for points, but in the end 24 scored more.

[eyepatrol]

Yeah, that's frustrating to know he could have had his 5th championship that year. Guess we'll just have to toast a few brews to him after he wins it THIS YEAR!!!!

[harvey lee]

coulda,woulda,shoulda.Its the new points baby and I believe Johnson WILL choke.Ole Kenseth is HOT and will be the favorite this year and Gordon could be a top five.The bigger question is will Jr. outscore Gordo??

[TNFL]

Has Jr. EVER finished ahead of Gordon in Points???

Yes, in 2003, I thought everyone knew that

[eyepatrol]

It's hard to remember things that just don't hardly ever happen. Once in a blue moon....I know I wouldn't remember.

[jbell1981]

I didn't know either, I had to look it up.

[harvey lee]

One remembers what one chooses.I dont remember anything my wife tells me according to my wife.She says I can remember every detail to a hunting or fishing trip.Maybe

BC--It might be another blue moon this season.

[eyepatrol]

You could be right HL. Dark blue, orange flames and a big 'ol 24 sitting atop the championship standings at the end of the season!

[harvey lee]

If that is going to happen he better get racing somewhat better.So far this year his hit and miss races wont propel him to the very top.All I will say is Rousch and I am not a fan of them.

[eyepatrol]

Oh he'll be there. They are just starting to get into the swing of things. Coming full circle just at the right time.

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin'.....

Thats a classic Limitout.
