Who really deserves the nascar championship?

May be...

carl, even without the chase, carl would probably be leading kyle right now, in the final 10 races the 18 team completely went down the shitter but the 99 was always right there even when the 18 was dominating during the season, but carl has been on a hot streak as of lately. jimmie johnson just lucked out with the chase this year and last year, gordon shoulda had it last year.

I'm with Nora on this one!
Last I checked Jimmie is in first place...
When the chase started each driver had the same chance to win. If you wanna look at the facts, Kyle had a bit of an edge on the rest of the drivers. Each driver in the chase are exactly where they should be. Fair is Fair, right?

Kyle Busch, because he dominated this season like nobody else.

Jimmie shouldn't be winning (Kyle should) but he is and deserves his 3rd consecutive championship.

Junior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kyle if you are going on the heart and what they really did together as a team, if you go by the stats, Jimmie

Jimmie Deserves it 100% he and chad never fool around and are always ready for a race

Jimmie. Unless "something bad happens".

oh please
I am one of the biggest Busch Whackers out there but seriously...the only thing that took him out of the championship was mechanical issues, not driver talent. I am not saying I'd have been happier Kyle won it, but he sure as hell deserved it.

I think that Carl deserves it the most b/c he has had an immense amt.
of success in just 4 short years. I think Jimmie deserves it the least b/c he is arrogant and cocky at the track. I'm surprised that they make a helmet big enough to fit over Jimmie's swollen head after just 2 championships. Imagine how much it would be intensified after 3 STRAIGHT!!!!

kyle
carl
jimmie


ugh i have to say kyle but carl definatley 2nd hes worked way harder for it i think

I don't know how you can say anyone besides Jimmie Johnson. He is leading the points under ANY system you want to use and they would have adjusted their season around a different points system IF it were in place. Get over it, he's the best right now no matter how you look at it!
3 STR8 N 08!!!

At this point I can't argue against Jimmie Johnson. Even under the "traditional" points system Johnson would be leading the points. Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch would still be behind him in points, despite their wins. If Jimmie does win the championship, it will be because he is the most deserving driver.


....Here's something that I think has been missed by some people here. Chase or no Chase, EVERYONE has the same chance at winning The Cup. The #48 team just has their strategy down for coming on strong during The Chase. There are 11 other teams in The Chase that are free to use the same strategy. Kyle had an absolutely phenomenal year, but also had a little bad luck along the way when it hurt the most. IT HAPPENS. Carl has been great all year long, but not as strong as the Lowe's team when it counted. You can't bash Jimmie and his team for legitimately and fairly (no cheating involved here, folks) beating the system. Maybe it's just time for everybody else to step it up a bit....

Kyle worked hard in the beginning of the year, and just had extremely bad luck because of things taht wer out of his control.

However, I still want Carl to win, and have wanted him to win.

Much like Jeff Gordon deserved it last year, I believe Carl Edwards deserves it this year simply because he has been as consistent as Gordon was last year but he has more wins then Gordon and less top top fives and top tens than Gordon. However, Johnson has been remarkable during the Chase and the trophy is handed out for who the best driver is during the last 10 races and he has been for the last three years.

As it is set up in the Chase (which we have to live with, like it or not), Jimmie has definitely earned the title, and deserves it. Why speculate on what will not be. Until they change it, the Chase is it. Jimmie had what it takes when it counted.

*SILQ*

kyle Busch or Carl Edwards.
They have more wins.

The driver with the most points when the Homestead race is over. It doesn't really matter who "deserves" it. Rules are rules, and the point system is what it is.

Jimmy
Carl

Kyle seems to fall apart at the end of the year

The one who wins it at the end. That the way it is set up and that is the way it should be. Not a JJ fan but he has proven to be the guy to beat over the last few years.

Jimmie Johnson

well duh----------------jimmy

Jimmie Johnson

jj plain and simple

Carl, because his wins were spread throughout the season. Not to undermine them, but Kyle was only dominant in the regular season, while JJ starting becoming dominant toward the end.

Carl. Look at what hes done in 4season.

Kyle Busch. He had a championship year not a championship chase.
