While I very much enjoy the story from Chad the Mouse that Jimmie has never had to run hard at Miami, he has always just had to coast to win the championship and that this is somehow a reason why he has the advantage at Miami.

And yes he is the defending champion. But let's be honest he has not run like a champion this year. Harvick lead the point most of the season. Jimmie of course, as usual, shot to the top at the start of the chase but in the end Harvick and Hamlin have run far better than JJ throughout the chase. JJ has had major pit crew problems and made the controversial decision to steal Gordon's crew.

The facts are we have never seen JJ run hard at Miami. Hamlin has always run hard and had great results. Maybe JJ runs hard and leads all the laps and takes this in a walk. But logic says when you have never run a track balls out, behind in the points. That when you do finally attempt you are more open to a mistake that can cost you the championship.

In the end...JJ is bad for business. His 4 straight has killed revenue, attendance and he is just nlt a merchandiser. And he has no real personality. I am not saying Harvick or Hamlin are but they offer a change. If JJ pulls this off he will be the luckiest most unchampionlike champion in years. He has not shown championship caliber all year and if he completes the drive for 5...NASCAR is in deep trouble business wise.
