Oh My!
Jimmie is laid back now like he was the years he won the title... I do'nt think he ever went into teh chase as the favorite, but he always emerged the champion. the year he did enter leading hte points (last year) he lost the thing. They always seem to come to Indy with the thought that they will win or go home on a tow truck. I'm not counting Jimmie out until Talladega anyway.
Picking the the 48 car at the super speedways is not a good thing. Proved at the Coke Zero 400.

I agree
I think Jimmie will beat 7 championships. He is the current "dynasty" guy still and he hasn't cooled off that much.
It actually took me until now to get caught up on this thread and ready Duane's rundown. Its long, but I like it. Some good stuff in there - plenty I never knew. And I'm no slouch myself with NASCAR history. The Rundown is always a good read, I just struggle to find reading time. And even less time to post. However, my family knows to leave me alone during the race - I won't be distracted. That's the "me" time...
I got a bottle in the cupboard. And every other kind of whisky. I rarely drink whisky as it makes me mean. But everybody is always gifting my the stuff. They must think I'm some kind of lush. But I rarely drink the stuff (unless the beer runs out)

For a Jimmie Johnson fan, Carl doesnt pay a lot of attention or has a short memory span. Jimmie loves talking about the championsip, but traditionally, he isnt on fire until about 10 races to go in the season. How many times was everyone calling Jimmie the favorite? In 06, he wasnt the favorite. in 07, gordon was the favorite. in 08, it was kyle busch and carl edwards. in 09, Mark martin was a favorite. in 2010, denny hamster was the favorite.

Oh yeah, Carly????
Weren't many stats behidn who was the "Favorite" going into the chase all those years... that was just teh analaysits and who had the "momentum" going in every year.... and Jimmie has never been the favorite oging into the chase and won it... it was alwyas "this is the year xxx is going to knock Jimmie off his pedestal" and Jimmie won anyway....
You need to come out and see the real world sometime, Carly.
