After Richmond, the field is set for the Chase for the Cup.Here's a quick, terse list of who we have to follow for the last 10 races of the 2008 season:
No. 18 Toyota of Kyle Busch, Joe Gibbs Racing
No. 99 Ford of Carl Edwards, Roush Racing
No. 48 Chevy of Jimmie Johnson, Hendrick Motorsports
No. 88 Chevy of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Hendrick Motorsports
No. 07 Chevy of Clint Bowyer, Richard Childress Racing
No. 11 Toyota of Denny Hamlin, Joe Gibbs Racing
No. 31 Chevy of Jeff Burton, Richard Childress Racing
No. 20 Toyota of Tony Stewart, Joe Gibbs Racing
No. 16 Ford of Greg Biffle, Roush Racing
No. 24 Chevy of Jeff Gordon, Hendrick Motorsports
No. 29 Chevy of Kevin Harvick, Richard Childress Racing
No. 17 Ford of Matt Kenseth, Roush Racing
Basically, here's some observations from the Chase:
-We've got three a manufacturer fight for the championship. It's Chevy vs Ford vs Toyota.
-Apparent obvious no-show of a Dodge in the field.
-The only Toyota representation is from Joe Gibbs Racing.
-The four teams with 3 cars each, are (In no particular order)
Joe Gibbs Racing,
Roush Racing,
Hendrick Motorsports &
Richard Childress Racing (3 teams)
So who do we think is gonna pull off the seasonal win? We'll know in 10 races, but I'd love to hear some opinions.
Amy says Jimmie has nice hair, but go Carl! (A fervent fan who communicates often with me)
Seems like Jimmie Johnson is setting up to make NASCAR history and be 1 of only 2 drivers (Cale Yarborough) to win 3 championships in a row.... I am not necessarily rooting him on, just an observation.
ReplyDeleteI understand Keith. You are making a very pragmatic observation! It was like when I begrudgingly realized back when, that Jeff Gordon is a good driver and I had to stop spending so much energy hating him. NOW I've got Kyle Busch to grumble about!!
