From the November, 2006 issue of Stock Car Insider


Next stop on the Nextel Cup Schedule is Phoenix International Racway

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
