NASCAR Ford Championship Weekend

Chase Clinch Scenarios:
-Hamlin needs to win race/leads most laps
-Jimmie Needs to win race and leads most laps.
-Harvick needs to win race/leads most laps,Hamlin 7th or worse,Jimmie,4th or worse W/O leading a lap.

Wow, I knew Harvick was in it still, but I didn't realize he was that much in it.

Honestly, I think Kevin Harvick has the best chance of winning the Cup for one reason. No pressure. He has absolutely nothing to lose just stuff to gain. Hamlin and Johnson do.

Hamlin - Everyone expected him to be the one to knock Jimmie off his game at the beginning of the season. One more little screwup and he is done.

Johnson - 4-time doesn't like his nickname and wants to make more history and make it 5-time.

Thus, Harvick with nobody expecting him to win the championship has it easier than both Hamlin and Harvick.

Now that Brad gas got the drivers championship, it ain't over. Brad and Kyle still have to duke it out for the owners championship. I'll post the entry list when it is availible.

Please use this thread for discussion of all 3 races.

I'm just hoping Johnson doesn't leave Homestead as the champ, but I'll be excited if Harvick does win the title.

Trucks:zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............Huh? What?
Nationwide: At least the owners title is going to have some dirvers trying
Cup: Best battle in years

Hamlin:Pressure is on,but Hamlin is a clutch driver,could be interesting
Johnson: Pressure is on him because he is back for the first time since 2005
Harvick: No pressure,Can go balls to the wall to win this one.

Guarentee that the title race will clearly be over with 75 to go. 2004 will always be the best Chase battle.

With the clinch scenarios, and the way the 3 of them have driven in the last several races, I doubt it'll be over with 75 to go...unless they crash...

Between Hamlin and Johnson, 3 places can decide it, easily gainable and losable.


I get you hate Hamlin so you want to be cynical about the whole thing, but come on, stop being such a downer and enjoy great racing.

Were all aloud to have our own opinions though. In the words of Kyle Busch, "It's called freedom of speech".

Can we not turn this into a flame war? Some of you have been pissing me off so much lately its not even funny.

Me? If so, i take issue with that. I have no issue with anyone's opinions, whether i agree or disagree. I just don't like when people express opinions in a derogatory and or cynical manner, trying to ruin it for the rest of us.

This is my last post on this little situation. I thought the point of a form was so you can discuss your own opinions about stuff. Expressing my opinion isn't a flame war. I also respect their opinion liking Hamlin I just personally don't agree with it which is fine. OK. DONE.

No Tyson I was agreeing with you.

No not you, I was fine with your post until everyone had to pile on.

Ah ok, my bad

I still think Denny has this. I have a feeling that Jimmie might have a bad run for some reason.

JMac I hope so.
Even better, they all get get docked 500 for some uber-infraction and Carl Edwards wins.
If only....

I found a good view of John Jackson's spectacular truck crash. It is a homevideo with great quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKIYTTUXqWI

I'm showing who I am supporting today with my Harvick hoodie that I am wearing and my Brad Keselowski hat.

DEBREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

HARVICK!
