It's probably a good thing I don't update this blog too often, as it would push my substantially correct predictions down the page and out of view. So where were we? Oh, right I had JJ and co. gearing up for another title while young Rowdy was on the verge of an epic playoff meltdown. Admittedly, I didn't see the Biff coming, and I thought maybe Junior would be slightly less mediocre in the post-season than he has been all year. I think Junior could cash in at 'Dega next week, but beyond that it's all 48 with the Roush guys gouging each other's eyes out to be the first loser.
Across the pond, it was nice to see the
perpetual sulk on the top podium step once again. For the most part, it seems everyone is petrified by the thought of actually winning a title over there. The bumbling is painful to watch, although the gazillion candelas used to turn night to day on the streets of Singapore was a treat to the eye. More, please, although it would be nice to schedule the night race so that it comes on a reasonable hour over in North America. It's just too easy to whack the snooze button at 4:30 AM on a Sunday morning.

You should post more often so I can leave more comments.
The mere possibility (although it's more probability now) of JJ winning another title has pretty much turned off any interest I have in NASCAR now. Yawn. Maybe if they ever ban Cheat Knaus, other people will have a shot. But really, Johnson isn't even hateable. He's just... there. And it's not that he shows he's a super great skilled driver week in and week out, like MSchumacher did. I give him credit for having the skill set that wins in NASCAR, but noone will ever say that that skill set is thrilling.
The Singapore race was ok, the track wasn't nearly as bad as Valencia, because there were obviously places that good passers could pass. Monza was awesome tho, seeing the STR *win* the race, not just have it dropped in his lap. Alonso did pull away to win the race, but you're right about the top teams bumbling. It's really been going on all season.
One thing JJ and Knaus do well on the superspeedways is lay back and avoid the crap when it eventually happens. Dega also showed how the Roush guys are never going to stay out of each other's hair enough to pull off a title.
