| Folks, I'm just as giddy as when little Johnny stole a kiss from Sally in the back seat of his daddy's car. The action heading into the final two races of the year is nothing short of spectacular. This year's tight competition in the new Chase for the Championship format has Mike Helton, President of NASCAR, looking like Albert Einstein's illegitimate son. Week in and week out, the Chase has taken on a different face. Early on we all thought Jeff Burton was going to run away with it, and the Hendrick drivers were nothing more than observers. Now, with just two races to go, Jimmie Johnson has stormed all the way from 10th place after leaving New Hampshire to recapture the lead that he held for much of the year. Next week expect Jimmie Johnson to increase his lead over second place driver Matt Kenseth at Phoenix International Raceway. In 6 starts at Phoenix, Johnson has an average finish of 8th. Also expect the following drivers to do well next week: Jeff Gordon - Average Finish 9th Mark Martin - Average Finish 10th Tony Stewart - Average Finish 11th Jeff Burton - Average Finish 12th Next Week's Schedule: Nextel Cup: @ Phoenix International Raceway. 11/10/06 - 03:10pm NASCAR Nextel Cup Checker Auto Parts 500 presented by Pennzoil Qualifying 11/11/06 - 12:05pm NASCAR Nextel Cup Checker Auto Parts 500 presented by Pennzoil Practice 11/12/06 - 01:30pm NASCAR Nextel Cup Checker Auto Parts 500 presented by Pennzoil Busch Series: @ Phoenix International Raceway. 11/10/06 - 04:00pm NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series ARIZONA.TRAVEL 200 Practice 11/11/06 - 10:05am NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series ARIZONA.TRAVEL 200 Qualifying 11/11/06 - 01:40pm NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series ARIZONA.TRAVEL 200 Craftsman Truck Series: @ Phoenix International Raceway. 11/09/06 - 05:30pm NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Casino Arizona 150 Practice 11/10/06 - 10:15am NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Casino Arizona 150 Qualifying 11/10/06 - 06:15pm NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Casino Arizona 150
