Championship Weekend!!

Well, it comes down to one race to decide the 2006 Nextel Cup Championship with five drivers mathematically still in contention. Matt Kenseth comes into this weekend hoping that his team can turn around their lack-luster performances over the last few weekends that has seen him drop point by point away from the cup. What are the realizations and hopes for 2nd through 5th (which are Kenseth, Harvick, Hamlin & Earnhardt Jr.)??? Simply put...Jimmie Johnson has to have a problem and finish 12th or worse to lose this championship, and there's more bad news for his competition. Jimmie Johnson is on fire, finishing in the top two in the last five races. Plus, even if Johnson does slip, one of the other drivers will have to win or at least post a strong top five. Not saying that this can not happen, as we all are aware of how crazy things can turn out during any given race. Either way I am sure it will be an exciting conclusion to the 2006 season.

My Pick:

(He goes out on top) Mark Martin
