And puts himself into the position of being able to take the title with a win at the final.

It would be a shame if the guy with the most points, most wins, most money isn't champion.

I bet that RTJ doesn’t win the title. Eldora heavily favors Davenport.

Also, T-Mac is only five points in front of Overton. It’s nowhere near a sure thing he’ll be in fourth when they get to Eldora.

McCreadie is just the king of consistency and slowly making his way through the crowd. I wouldn't be surprised if he managed to pull off the eldora win.

I agree. They really need an asterisk on the title this year. I completely understand how and why they did it this way, and if it means more money for the drivers and the series, it's hard to argue against that, but as you accurately pointed out, we don't need a NA$CRAP styled championship. It ruins the history of the series.

JD is my favorite driver, but if anyone other than RTJ wins the title, it's a travesty.

No reason to be throwing around insults like...OH wait?

Moran...nevermind.

He was fourth most of the year and only slipped back to fifth like two weeks ago. He isn’t clawing his way back in. He’s hanging around in tier 2 like he has all year.

He's heating up at just the right time. Look out.

I said that earlier, if RTJ doesn’t win the title, Lucas oil should be embarrassed. He’s completely dominated. It’s looking like this will happen too, because we all know how good JD is at Eldora.

Well, it was one of Ricky's sponsors that wanted this chase type format. Wonder how they'll feel if Ricky doesn't win after leading by a mile most the year.

What if Hudy Oneal comes on comes on strong now and dominates the playoff gimmick ?

I don't think it matters unless he is within striking distance of RTJ prior to the DTWC. We all know who the real champion should be, it's just a shame that it won't go down in the record books as such if he doesn't win the DTWC.

Penn,

Lucas should already be embarrassed.

What if Hudy Oneal comes on comes on strong now and dominates the playoff gimmick ?The odds of him winning a 100 lap race at eldora are pretty long. He doesn't seem to be able to go the distance without a show stopping mistake. That being said, the Rocket house car has done it once before so his chances aren't zero.

Once again, he's 22.

Your comment had nothing to do with Pierce. You said his chances were slim. If Vegas were setting odds for the World 100, he would undoubtedly have top 5-7 odds to win the race. If you don't think Hudson is going to improve then this argument is pointless.

If you don't think Hudson is going to improve then this argument is pointless.You brought up age as the reason for his issues and I pointed out someone younger than him won the race. Of course he will improve, very few drivers don't.

They have already announced TMAC will remain with Paylor and run Longhorns. The affiliation with the house car program is merely ending. By TMAC standards he has had an off year, but is still in a position to win it all. He's won Lucas 2 consecutive years but by all means he should be kicked to the curb in favor of a kid that is a blossoming talent but not a TMAC and never will be.

I think the format is healthy. RTJ has made a ton of money this year - knew EXACTLY what the format was going in - and is in position to win it. If he doesn't win the finale - I bet he's still a very happy camper.

A younger guy won when tire rule changes happened to suit him and he was allowed to run illegal suspension. Big deal. Young guys don't usually win at Eldora in 100 lappers.

It was after the Rumley rules were implemented and there were way too many moving parts.

I heard that TMAC was running with an unknown advantage that year.

He seemed to have unreal speed coming out of the turns at B-town.

What the 32 had was NOT what the 6 had. There are 2 different versions of the 6 device. I don't think any national team ever correctly copied either one.

The device made may corrections to inherent flaws in the way we use the 4 link suspension. It fixed real issues that most people don't even know exist.
