Four Go In One Comes Out Champion
Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr., and Kyle Busch all enter Sunday's race with a chance at becoming Champion, Harvick can become back to back. The best finishing driver of these four will become champion. With Jeff Gordon racing in his final race could he win the title in his final year? The real question is will these four drivers race cleanly or will we see someone be wrecked on the final lap to win the championship. The other question is what will the fan reaction be if someone wrecks someone else to win the Championship and what will be NASCAR's reaction?
Matt Kenseth Returns From 2 Week Suspension
After an incident at Martinsville Erik Jones piloted the #20 at Texas and Phoenix while Matt sat on the sideline. The guy he wrecked, Joey "The Dominator" Logano, is no longer in the chase due to the incident at Martinsville. With that being said will Logano race cleanly as the Man he is and continue his momentum into 2016? Or will he seek revenge on the #20 car? I would certainly keep my eye on these two this weekend to see what happens but I expect Logano to seek revenge on Matt by going out and winning Homestead!
Hendrick Will Help Hendrick
Last Weekend's Winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. said on the Dan Patrick Show that he would block other drivers to help Jeff Gordon win the Championship as seen in the quote below.
"I would block. … I can't pull over to give (Gordon) a spot, I can't let him have a position to give him a point, but yeah, I would block"Now if I don't recall wasn't this what got David Gilliland and Clint Bower in trouble a few years ago? I want to see a driver earn a Championship and not be helped by his teammates.

Michael Waltrip Racing Looks to Win One More Race For The Road!
This weekend Michael Waltrip Racing will take in its farewell race at Homestead as the team will be ceasing operations after this season. Look for Clint Bowyer or David Ragan to help make that last race special by sending Michael to victory lane one more time as a Team Owner! Both have been making gains but came a little to late to matter, points wise at least.
