With one more race to go before the Chase for the Cup, it is about time that I come out with my 2008 prediction. Jimmie Johnson was incredibly impressive this past weekend at the Pepsi 500. He had the most dominant car in the field by far. If he can keep his car running like it did on Sunday, watch out Kyle Busch. It was good to see Jr. clinch a spot in the Chase – I look for his rise back to the top to continue next year… but not in ’08. Carl Edwards? Well, it would certainly be fun to watch Busch and Edwards ruffle each other’s feathers down the stretch, but I don’t see that happening either. Tony Stewart? Jeff Gordon? Not their year. Nope, this is Kyle Busch’s title to lose, and lose it he will. Jimmie Johnson is a late season driver and Busch is tanking here at the end. Johnson’s team is hitting on all cylinders and his car is superior to any other out on the track. This train’s gonna keep on rollin’… right to victory lane at the end of the season.
