This week is the penultimate race of the season held at Phoenix International Raceway, Jimmie Johnson and is on the verge of once again to write NASCAR history. For this purpose it is enough to him already, go to Homestead with 161 points ahead after the final.
Even a total loss was Jimmie Johnson's championship chances are very dim too. While he was in Texas neat spoil things, but he gritted his teeth and spooning the empty plate. If they had given up violently undulating mill and saved the remaining 200 laps, another 15 points to Mark Martin and Jeff Gordon would have been lost. I expect a little bit and show the different approaches to determine the remaining title contenders. Is 73 points ahead of the rest of the pursuers and mathematically still have all the drivers including Ryan Newman up to 9th place a shot at the title. But stop stop: This is the "super safe" method of calculation, which is actually nonsense. 195 points you can catch up in a race only if the competitor does not contest the race. The last place will be rewarded with 34 points and since we can assume that Johnson will start in both races, the 161 meters still makes each weekend. This seems to lead to the calculated line behind Greg Biffle (-247) on the 7th place.
