At the beginning of 2015 no one would have expected Kyle Busch to win the championship yet alone race again at a competitive stage, There were a few drivers in 2015 who did everything they needed to do but something just did not go right with them and neither of them landed in the final four come Homestead. Below I will talk about just how close these two drivers are to finally winning a championship in there career.
6 wins in 2015 proved to not be enough to win a Championship as Joey Logano showed in 2015. Joey began the season with a victory in the Daytona 500. He went on to win Watkins Glen, Bristol, along with all 3 races in the Contender Round. When he got to Martinsville there was no doubt in anyone's mind that Joey would be the favorite. Then Matt Kenseth got involved and ultimately cost Joey the chance to move on to Homestead. With two dominating seasons in a row many will begin to either question Joey's
ability to win a Championship or Think that his championship win is just around the corner. I am one of those people who think Joey can do it within the next 2 years at Team Penske. How many wins will he have in that Championship Season you may ask? Well l predict 5 wins will get you there. A win in the regular season along with a win in each round of the chase which would ultimately land you hoisting the Trophy at the end of the year. I think Joey's championship will come within the next year or two.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is another one of those drivers I could see winning a championship in the very near future. What many fear is that once Dale Earnhardt Jr. would retire right after his Championship. I honestly don't see that because Jr has the same passion and drive his father had. If Jr did retire I could almost see him taking a crew chief job with either JR Motorsports or Hendrick Motorsports and I am sure with the support of Jr Nation whoever he crew chiefed would become the new popular driver. Jr needs some work though before he wins a championship. Jr has been in the same must win situation at Talladega the last two years and
though he says he would not want to go to any other track being in a must win situation than Talladega, I honestly think he get's pressured to much and cracks at the pressure. Yes he almost won in October, but two years being in the same situation has to get old. The thing Jr needs to do is improve in the previous two races at Charlotte and Kansas. If he did well at those tracks he could simply go to Talladega needing a Consistent Run which is manageable for Jr. Other than that Jr is set for a Championship Run and I could see that coming very soon if not next year. If that would Happen Jr Nation would celebrate for years and years to come. (Koelle, 2015)
