One race... 400 miles... Three drivers... One Champion!
The race for the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup title is close, 46 points close. In a sport where the top non-Chase drivers have 4200 plus points, that's close!!
#11 Denny Hamlin - leading , #48 Jimmie Johnson - second 15 points back, #29 Kevin Harvick - third 46 points adrift...
Others have tried... Tony Stewart had a run of good performances but fell away, Clint Bowyer is good at the 'plate races, Jeff Gordon has been a regular under-achiever, Carl Edwards won last week to break his winless streak and put him next in the standings, but none have stayed with the top three throughout the Chase.
In the past the last race, at Homestead-Miami, has been a disappointment. The top drivers were more interested in calculating the points and staying out of trouble than they were going for the win. This year, with the points this close, the top three will have to race hard!!
The driver who leads on track, the driver who leads the most on track, the driver who wins on track will be Champion. No sitting back and watching the points, they will have to race, hard!
Homestead, the 1.5 mile progressively banked oval, could finally deliver the explosive season ending "race" that NASCAR needs and it's fans want.
Potential first time Champion driver and first time Champion manufacturer vs. Potential five timer vs. Potential first time Champ trying to put Richard Childress back on top.
So come on "have at it boys"!!
