Okay.... with two races left in the chase, who do you think will be crowned the champion????

Personally I feel that Jimmie Johnson will hold off Carl Edwards and win his third championship. But time will tell as there are alot of miles left and too many variables that could affect any of the drivers.

I will have to go with Carl Edwards since he is a family friend and has proved that he wants the title pretty bad!! Jimmie does have a good lead so it is very possible that he will have it in the end. Next year, however, Mark Martin will be fighting for it and I will be behind him all the way!! And I have been a loyal Martin fan since he started racing!!

Johnson will win the championship. I used to live and breath nascar, not so much now. The racing just doesn't seem as good as a few years back. Would rather travel 1-2 hrs. and watch some local stuff.

I was a HUGE nascar fan, up til about 10 years ago. I can remember watching it back in the seventies. I guess the fact that the cars don't look like the production vehicles anymore kind of soured me on it. I'll still catch Daytona, or Talledega, but I'm just not the fan I used to be. Now with this "car of the future" coming out...I don't know.

My local TV didnt let me watch the last 38 laps of the race because of the freaking rain delay!!! I was really po'd about that. Since there was a 25 min. rain delay they cut off my last 25 minutes of the RACE so they could show Americas Funniest Home Videos instead!!!! So I called my bro and made him give me a play by play since he could watch it....o i was fumed! Jimmy did have a really strong car all day long. Hes just lucky that what happened to Gordon didnt happen to him. That would of been a bad way to end the day.
