What are the chances of Jimmie Johnson winning the Nextel Cup this year? Can this year finally be the one?

I think he will do better this year and in the Daytona 500.  That team brought in a lot of great guys not just Bobby.

If Jeff Gordon won both races, then Jimmie would have to gain less than 203 points.  There's many possible combinations, but Jeff Gordon still could win if JJ got 3rd, but the next race he'd have to get 42nd, and the other guys would have to fall behind him somewhere.\n\nLook for Jimmie and the others finishing 21st or worse, which probably won't happen.\n\nHere's a chart on how many points are awarded for what place:\n\nhttp://www.nascar.com/news/headlines/official/points.explained/

Ya, that is exactly what I am saying. I would LOVE for Jr. to win, but if not I would want it to be Tony Stewart. It would ruin my whole weekend if either Jeff Gordon or Jimmie Johnson won it. I guess great minds think alike, right? lol\n\nGO DALE GO!!!!!!!!!!!#8

Its not a fact of believing it dude, its reality.  Havent you heard Dale Jarret and Brain Vickers are going to drive fot Toyota??.....and Michael Waltrip owning three cars.....one sponsored by Burger King and Dominos Pizza!!.....do research such as Nascar.com or foxsports.com.  Like I said, its a fact!

This is the first intelligent question about Jimmie Johnson that I've seen in a long time.This one makes good sense.\n Once again as a Busch driver I liked him but when he came to Cup he became a clone of his cars co-owner,thus Wonderboy and company.\n I sure would like to see him and Gordon befall to problems.For the cheaters at the first of the year should not be the victors at the end.

I have a feeling Jimmie will finally win it after being so close the past two years. He's an excellent driver with a talented crew coming from a great team. He'll get it this year.

It was kind of funny the first two times Tony won, but now it's just getting old.  Here are my picks:\n\nLikley to win: Kevin Harvick-He won in the spring and he has a pretty good chance.\n\nSomewhat likely: Clint Bowyer-He finished strong in the spring and has been running well latley, though his finishes may not show it.\n\nUnderdog Pick: Bobby Labonte-Everyones noticed how well he's been doing latley, and he had a top-ten here in the spring.  Maybe it's his turn to see the winners circle now.

I love Jamie McMurray.  Is he a pretty boy?  I hadn't noticed!!  Come on, of course he's a pretty boy, but he's also a talented driver.  2003 Rookie of the year and missed the chase by a small margin in 2004 and 2005. He should benefit greatly from his team change and do well this year.

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!!!

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!

Vickers, no. He's not running near good enough. I'm going with either Kenseth or Carl Edwards. Johnson will, of course, be ok.

J.J Yeley in 2nd??? Wow. That's a bold pick since he is a rookie.\n\n1.Kyle Busch\n2.Carl Edwards\n3.Jimmie Johnson\n4.Dale Earnhardt JR-Did you see his comeback after the crash? If he can do that, he is a lock in the chase in the last 10 races.\n5.Tony Stewart-Found his groove back\n\nNotables:\nJeff Gordon:10th\nGreg Biffle:21st\nJ.J Yeley:20th

mark martin is supposed to step out of the nextel cup, but is not retiring..\nricky rudd might not be back in a car, but will not be retiring..\nthere will probably be a few drivers who will not be getting in cars (not really many that are actively racing, but who have in the past and might in the future) but there haven't been any official retirement announcements..not even mark yet.
