Homestead Speedway Tag

Only 2 races remain until the Sprint Cup Chase for the Cup kick off at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, IL.  Hard to imagine that we have already come this far in 2012.  This season has been an exciting one and different than those of recent past.  For the first time in a while it seems that several drivers not named Jimmie Johnson or Tony Stewart have a chance to win the Cup this year.  A lot can change over the next 3 months but if all goes well we could be looking at another exciting finish to the season at the Ford EcoBoost 400 in Miami, FL.

Coming to the last race of 2011 it was a two horse race for the Cup.  Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart were practically dead even and at the end of the race they shared the exact same point total.  Edwards had a 3 point lead at the beginning of the race, finished second, and lost the championship in a tie-breaker situation.  What a rough ride for Edwards who has suffered since the race last November.  On the other hand Tony Stewart provided the performance he needed to win the race and the championship.  As a NASCAR fan you really couldn't have asked for a better finish to the 2011 season.  With no clear favorite in 2012, I am excited for the possibilities of another incredible finale at Homestead Speedway.
