My prediction, Jeff Gordon will win his 5th championship in his final season. Martinsville win pretty much sums up my theory. Jeff is extreme at the track, but he's in the final 4. My gamble is that he (NASCAR overloads) ensure that he goes out on top.

Ya sure, and they told Kenseth to drive the leader of today's race ,Logano,into the corner fence like a thumb tack with 10 laps to go.
Just so Gordon would win, right?

And they ordered Jimmy and Chad to lay low so Jeff wins. Right?

I didn't watch the race, as I was RACING, but Gordon is now in the final 4. I say he wins it all.....scripted.

As someone who races and knows how many variables go along with that, do you really think that SCRIPTING a 500 lap short track race is something that happens?

Come on man...

I know Gordon is good at Martinsville, I'm making my prediction for the remainder of the races. I say he wins, and I don't think he's the best driver out there. NASCAR needs him to win.

It's a horse race.
Logano, Harvick, Gordon.

The odds are in their favor right now.
I'm surprised Jimmy Johnson STB this year..... I would have picked him to win, but that ain't happenin'.

If I'm wrong, you can call me on it, but I mentally called this outcome at the beginning of the season when it was announced to be Jeff's last season. He's never made it this deep since the format changed.

Watch what happens.


NASCAR = WWE

Come on man...
NASCAR lost me as a fan a decade ago because of scripting. I owned 3,000 shares of Speedway Motorsports when NASCAR's tv deal was announced. The stocked jumped a TON. Ever since, NASCAR has been chasing the TV money. They broke the sport and alienated themselves from their core fan base. Results are scripted.

So what advantage will Kenseth gain for harpooning Logano today? Likely loss of points for next season seems not to be a reward for helping Nascar help Jeff.

I think a hat would be more fitting

While it would be "nice" in nascar's eyes to have Jeff Gordon win the championship in his final year, there are just too many variables during a short track race to attempt to have script

I'm either right or I'm wrong. If I'm wrong, you can pounce on me.

I hope Jeff Gordon does win but the script part is a bit of a reach.

I at least hope it's good racing Craig
