Final NASCAR Showdowns Set For Phoenix and Miami
by Capt. Herb Emory ~ November 8th, 2007 @ 11:53 amFans are down to the final two playoff games of the NASCAR season and the checkered flags can’t fly soon enough for some.
There were no surprises in Texas and the championship battle is still between a car owner and his driver.
The driver, Jimmie Johnson, took the lead in the points away from his car owner, Jeff Gordon, following Johnson’s win at Texas Motor Speedway. Johnson now has a 30-point advantage over his boss heading to the Phoenix race Sunday.
My best guess is you can’t count Clint Bowyer out of the running for the championship completely, but making up the 181-point deficit he left Texas with would be considered a racing miracle. His only chances now are if both Johnson and Gordon have poor finishes this weekend.
