Well Kasey is a very good drive and yes i think that he could pull that off. But the thing is with him every time he gets the poll he falls behind. GO KASEY!!!!

i agree with you and papabil. he has gotten better as the year has gone on. in his first full year with tony jr. as his crew chief(from 2000-2004 tony sr. was crew chief and tony jr. car chief), they started out so-so but they have gotten stronger and stronger all year long. they have run well enough during the chase to win the title, but they just haven't gotten the finishes. they led for a while at kansas, talladega, and atlanta, and have been strong at every chase track. i think next year is going to be juniors year. i think they're going to come out of the gate strong and not look back. that budwieser team is really starting to gel.

I'm a Dale Jr fan, but I think that 3rd time is gonna be the charm for Jimmie Johnson and the Lowes team. This is their 3rd time being in the Chase and they have gotten stronger over the weeks. \n\nUnless something insane happens...then Jimmie Johnson is your 2006 Nextel Cup Series Champion!

As of now the numbers indicate Alonso. But the last 2 races have changed the trend a bit in favor of Michael. However, if Michael wins all the time, and Alonso arrives second behind him all the time, it will take a VERY long time for Michael to pass him in the championship standings. Both cars seem now very reliable and fairly equal, so between tire choices and reliability, the fist team that screws up gives an edge to the other one. Alonso comes from a winning championship. He is young, aggressive, a good driver, and arrogant. Michael has unmatched experience, he is fast, tricky, and smarter. Now, if they had the same car, it would be a nice comparison!!! At the end, I think Michael can pull it off because his team is superior, and it would be nice to have him win an unheard of 8th title, and then retire in grand style. And yes, leave room to Kimi, who is unquestionably the fastest driver in the pack.

I definitely think that Marco will have many opportunities to win the Indy 500 as well as other races.\n\nThis year's race was the best race I've seen in a long time.  2nd closest finish in Indy500 history and I was there...sitting in turn 4!   I am so glad that Hornish won the race.  He has had such bad luck and timing at Indy...it's about time!!!

Yeah, he could still win if Johnson crashes or something. But that probably wont happen. Oh well, he'll win the cup next year for sure. He'll have 2 teammates next year: Truex who might just be able make the Chase next year and Menard who might be able to help. Jr's had a great season and I'm happy for him. If it werent for Louden, Pocono, and Tallagdega (Vickers), it'd be a completely different situation. So dont be upset with Jr's situation cause its not his fault at all.

I think he can, he is, after all....the best driver!\nHe would have had the championship in 2004 if it were not for his mistake of saying *shit* on National TV and being fined...that sucked. Last year he ran so bad but I think it was a combination of the changing of Pitcrews/ Mechanics/ All of it. If he had consistency he would have driven that way.\nThis year...he is doing awesome!! Only won one race but think we have alot of momentum going for us and the want to be the best that we are!

Richmond is the type of track that requires a driver to feather the throttle through the turns.  So veritably, all the guys with heavy Sprint Car backgrounds will do the best.  Remember, Kasey Kahne is usually very strong here, and comes straight from Sprint cars.  And since he is having such a great season thus far (disregard Talladega), I would put my money on him.

I think either Tony Stewart or Dale Jr will win.\n\n\nGO DALE GO!!!!!!!#8

The point system is flawed, but I can't think of a way to fix it. The current system does reward those teams that are the most consistent and I would think that there should be more emphasis on consistency rather than on wins. Matt Kenseth's championship in 2003 was highly talked about because he only visited victory lane once that season. Who cares? He was the most consistent driver that season and rightfully won the Cup. This year Kasey Kahne had a lot of wins, but he also had too many bad finishes to be a real threat. I guess I would have to vote to leave the point system the way it is.

By no means am I a Tony hater! I think he is one of the best drivers, not to mention he will probably win the championship...again.  I think Tony is an awesome driver, and I think everything he does is part of racing. We can't blame him for being aggressive, he only gives what he gets.  bumping is just a part of racing, and to be #1 you have to get in there and do what you gotta do.  Smoke has what it takes to win.  I am personally a Biffel fan, however, I have to give credit where credit is do.

KURT BUSCH IS A HOT HEAD FOR SURE, BUT HE IS ALSO A TALENTED DRIVER WHOM PENSKE RECOGNIZED. I'M SURE THAT PENSKE WILL TRY TO REIN HIM IN. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THIS "A" TYPE PERSONALITY THAT IS HARD TO DO. IT HAS NOT DONE A LOT OF GOOD FOR YOUR "FAV TONY STEWART"
