Question

Do you think Carl And Jimmie will move into 2nd and 3rd in points before the chase ahead of Jr??

Answer 1

Yes.  Hendrick focused on Jr during the first part of the year.  Jimmie is on fire, so is Carl.  I think Jr will fade to 4th or 5th before the Chase begins.

Answer 2

I am not favoring anybody, but the way Jimmie and Carl have been running recently, I think they have a good shot at passing Jr in the points.  Carl will start ahead of Jr anyway because he has 4 wins.  Jimmie has 2 wins so either way, Jr can't start no higher than 4th at the beginning of the chase, unless he wins a few races before the chase starts.  

Answer 3

Well, Burton has fallen to fifth now, and Carl is only nine points out of second, so I will say it is a real possibility.

Answer 4

Well Carl is only 9 points away from 2nd spot. But when the Chase begins he will definitely take 2nd away from Junior.  Then Jimmie and Kasey. Junior will probably fall to 5 or 6th when the chase begins.

Answer 5

one word...NOPE!

Answer 6

Yes.  Simple math.  Carl and Jimmie will win more races this year.  I don't think Jr. will come close to winning another race this year.

Answer 7

hope not. He will fall a few when the chase starts by bonus point factors.

Answer 8

They are the 2 hottest drivers now. Carl would be way ahead of Junior had he not lost 100 points because an oil pan lid came off his car. Junior is always around the Top 10, and there are only 4 more races to the Chase.

Answer 9

Yes they are better drivers and are proving that the past few weeks

Answer 10

Maybe ..Jr did lead a lap to get 5 bonus points so it may be a close call.  

Answer 11

Possibly. It doesn't matter, the guys from second to twelfth just want to be there for the final ten races. Jeff Gordon got reamed last season, Kyle may be reamed this season thanks to that inane final ten races for the championship. What a joke.

Answer 12

probably, but it doesn't really matter. the only thing that matters for rowdy, junior, carl, and jimmie is wins (10 bonus points for the chase) for the next five races. other than that, those four are pretty much locked in and can go for broke each week.

Answer 13

Last 5 races for each of those drivers:

Jr - 12, 24, 8, 16, 12

Edwards - 17, 2, 32, 2, 1

Johnson - 9, 23, 2, 1, 3

Compare that and figure it out. Johnson has the best average finish over the past 5 races of 7.6

Answer 14

Jr. has had some good runs because he is in Hendrick equipment but unless he is really a threat to win a race like carl and Jimmie then yes i expect them to boot both Burton and jr back in the points...jimmie, kyle and carl are the three big threats to bring home the championship so far

Answer 15

No, even though he hasn't tore up the victory lane gates like everyone thought he would he still has been the model of consistency...if he hadn't ran out of gas it would have been another top 5. So no, I think he'll still be second after Richmond.
