Here we go again

There really isn't much to say other than when Johnson's "Bad Day" is still a top twenty and Edwards wins two in a row, there isn't much hope of stopping Jimmie Johnson's historic run that could easily be wrapped up by night's end in the Arizona Desert. The championship will most likely be decided officially in Homestead. If the 48 team can get a mere 60 points up on Carl, it will be a lock. That's quite a bit but going into Ford Championship Weekend, anything over 100 points is going to be difficult to overcome. If Johnson is leading by more than 100 this week, it's all but locked up. Crazier things HAVE happened, the 2008 Championship deciding Formula One race, which put Lewis Hamilton in the points lead by ONE POINT. I doubt it will be that close but the only other 'exciting' thing to watch for is the manufacturing championship which is spread between Chevy, Ford and Toyota, by less than 5 points. The rookie battle is also fairly close but the rookies themselves aren't that exciting. More or less this season will end on a great note, either we can Watch Jimmie Johnson tie/make history; in the unlikely even that doesn't happen, we get to witness one of the greatest upsets in racing, if not sports, history.

Predictions:
Jimmie Johnson will finish in the top 10, Carl Edwards and the Roush Gang will finish in the top 15 and an entry from the RCR stable will win the race.

Keep checking back after the season for my season review, and 2009 overall preview and then team by team review/preview. Also, I am working on developing a new, cleaner format for the 2009 season.
