Will this be the year he grabs his 5th Cup title?

Craig,
Yes,it's his to lose.He and Stewart are the best crossover drivers in the series,bar none.That's why they havre six titles between them-how many others in the last few years can make that claim?.
Short track,miles,superspeerdways..they are competitve on all-but the real reason why those two are so successful is their dominance on the road courses.Yes there's only two on the schedule,but a well set up car on a road course does not guarantee you'll be at the front like at an oval.Look how hard the road race specialists have to work for top fives on them and that's their bread and butter.Hardly a coincidence that all the new drivers coming into the series are from that backround.I thinkit's analogous to the old AMA series where you had to be multi talented in a variety of racing enviroments and clearly those two are head and shoulders above the rest in that respect.
That being said,what do you call a basement of Johnson's,Gordon's and Stewarts?
The whine cellar!
I miss the 3 car
