  Homestead-Miami
  
  7 of the 10 races were won by Chase contenders. I really think this is going to be the tightest the chase has ever been, and will probably come down to Homestead. My guess is the Champion will have to win 2 or 3 races.

  Hamlin's got momentum on his side...I definitely think it's his to lose. IMO, it's going to come down to Hamlin, Harvick, Johnson, and Kyle Busch.
• Tiger2003

  

  Hamlin might have the Momentum right not, but Johnson has to be the favorite only sitting 10 points back. Kyle will fuck up some how, he will have a string of a couple bad races.
  
  I think it going to come down to Hamlin, Johnson, Smoke, and Harvick, with Kurt Bush as my outside pick.

  As long as its not Carl or Jimmy I'm cool with whoever else.
• j_crazy

  

  kurt's going to pounce and take it. I can feel it.
  
  I'm worried about the west coast swing though Kurt has been bad out west recently.
• iclfan2

  

  My heart is with KEnseth but he hasn't really done shit this season. I will be in charlotte for the race, hope either him or shrub come out on top.

  God knows this last 10 race schedule favors Johnson...but I'm not sold on him merely on the way he's been running lately. But of course with 4 straight Championships, he's definitely the favorite until someone knocks him off. IF Joe Gibbs Racing can avoid the mechanical failures that always seem to plague them...I think it will come down to Hamlin or Kyle battling it out at the end.

  I sure as hell hope you're right! But after listening to his interview after Richmond, he already sounds like a defeated man. Confidence is everything in NASCAR.
• Tiger2003

  

  I sure wouldn't count out Smoke.....He has been running good lately.....But yes if the Mechanical Failures dont bite Joe Gibbs Racing in the ASS like it always does looks for Hamlin to be there at the end, Kyle could be but I think he will end up doing something dumb.

  Bowyer is def dominating this race in the early goings..
• GoChiefs

  

  Bowyer looks like the man to beat..Johnson marched right up into the Top 5 quickly..but seems to just have a Top 7ish car...not a winning car.
• Tiger2003

  

  Wow....way to hold your fucking line Carl Edwards....you damn dumbass........Denny worked his way all the way to the top 4....and now he is back to 22nd.....Watch out for the 11 car on these last 80 laps he is going to be pushing everyone out of his way....
• Tiger2003

  

  keep wrecking......
• GoChiefs

  

  Welp...karma just bit me in the ass! Was laughing my ass off when Denny got spun!
• GoChiefs

  

  And there goes Kenseth.

• Tiger2003

  

  I want Edwards and Jimmy gone as well...
• Tiger2003

  

  Im thinking we are going to see a Green White Checker....
• karen lotz

  

  Tiger, which driver are you related to?
• GoChiefs

  

  Hell yeah..Johnson pitting with 45 laps to go..loose wheel possibly...gonna hurt his chances. You only get one mulligan..and he's using it already.
• Tiger2003

  

  What race...damn I wish Bowyer would have ran out instead of Smoke......But Hamlin did a great Job coming back and finishing 2nd.....Hamlin had the best car down the stretch and if that race was 1 more lap Hamlin is the winner.
  
  But I can't be mad Denny just extended the lead
