    Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls of all ages, prepare to see history in the making. It was this time last year that Jimmie Johnson took the points lead and never looked back, en route to his first Championship. Grab a chair and sit on floor as it happens again in 2007…
    To all the Hendrick haters out there, no excuses please. They have the best equipment, the best teamwork, the best team players and they’re the best there is at what they do, period.
    Have a great day!!!!

    I’m happy no matter what. My 3 favorite drivers are in the top 3 in points. I’d liek to see Jeff get his 5th, but also for Jimmie to get his second consecutive, and Clint because he’s the underdog.

    I agree with you Rodger. I love Jimmie but if he wins the championship I will be pissed and may not watch Nascar anymore. I have been a fan for 25 years and Jeff should be winning his 6th championship and thanks to Brian France he may not even get his 5th. This sucks because it is not like Jeff is doing bad and does not deserve to win, he is doing what he needs to be doing. Jeff has had 1 DNF this year compared to Jimmie’s 4, not quite fair. They just took away all his points.
    I HATE THE CHASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well all in all, its a No Brainer as who will Win the CC. JJ. NASCAR poster boy. Gordon is out the door and he knows it, which is to bad for a great driver to be punted out for JJ, such is Power and Money.

    Hey, Fans, France is selling Stock, buy now, It’s Called JJ Stock and Sucker Stock.

    Who is the Sucker who eats this stuff that NASCAR is handing out. Its old like a dead chicken. JJ, runs TC, Period…………………

    Has too, NO Car can run every track like rail with no problem and Texas was their Nightmare. Give me a break. LOL.

    Good Night Fools.
