Championship Week; It's Still Not Over

It's championship week in NASCAR this weekend as all 3 series head to Homestead-Miami Speedway. However, you wouldn't know that the Cup championship is still up for grabs. Listen to me now, this is not over. Carl Edwards can win this weekend at Homestead. He did it in Atlanta. He did it in Texas. He can do it at Homestead. Now, some of you are probably saying to yourselves, "But Jimmie has such a big lead." Well, he has had issues at Homestead before(2005, blown tire caused him to wreck while battling Tony Stewart for the Cup; finished 40th), and it can happen again. I am aware of the fact that Johnson is ahead by 141 points. I am aware of the fact that he needs to finish only 36th or better to clinch. And yes, Jerry Punch, Andy Petree, and Dale Jarrett, I am aware of how wonderful Jimmie Johnson and this 48 team are and how they dodge every obstacle thrown at them. But come on. Give Edwards and this 99 team a little credit. In any given race, anything can happen.
