does the 48 need to finish something like 20th or better in the last two to take it not matter what the others do?
is this right?

quick glance and i couldn't find anything...help?
Unfortunately, no.

He's more than double the record of points made up within 3 races. JJ owns it again.

MJ_N_09 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
He's basically got it at this point.

So, JJ has won four titles thanks to a season's worth of work.

The Chase, which was brought in for people with IQs in single digits who could not comprehend the idea of a whole year's worth of racing, has managed to make NASCAR about as fascinating as accountancy. We could have had an absolute stormer of a points battle between Johnson and Stewart, and last year it would have gone down in legend as a quasi-1992 battle. Instead you could not suck the tension out more had you told everyone at the start of Dallas who shot JR.

Marketing. You can't live with them, and you can't live with them.

marketing is killing the sport but you are right, we wouldn't have it without them. but the problem with your IQ analogy is that even people with IQ's in the single digits see this as very stupid way to crown a champ.

the most painful thing about all these comparisons is that Awesome Bill lost the closest points battle in Cup history and it is brought up time and time again. however, if he had won in 1992, the whole Kulwicki Underbird legend would've never happened.

still makes me want to shed a tear every time I walk into a Hooters and see the Kulwicki posters everywhere, for more than one reason.

RIP Alan.

I would like to point out for the 1000th time that I was at that race.

I want Monty to come on even stronger next year (straight out of the box - looking for wins).
