Final 10 Races: All the races are on ESPN except Charlottte which is on ABC

Loudon: Jimmy Johnson won the June race
Dover: Kyle Bush won the May race.
Kansas
California: Jimmy Johnson won the February race.
Charlotte: Kurt Bush won the May race.
Martinsville: Denny Hamlin won the March race.
Talladega: Kevin Harvick won the April race.
Texas: Denny Hamlin won the April race.
Phoenix: Ryan Newman won the April race.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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
