If I have to pick between 3 title contenders, I choose Hamlin. I'm sick and tired of seeing Johnson win all the time and I can't stand Harvick.

I would rather see Harvick win, but I'm with you on Johnson. I would like to see just 1 race where they went for 5 straight minutes with out mentioning Jimmy Johnson, 48, etc. They might as well change the name of the series from Sprint Cup to the Chevrolet Racing Series starring Jimmy Johnson.

Carl did well today! I thought it was awesome to see the 48 stretch it and show up the 11!
Here's to hoping the 11 finds a way to throw away the race next weekend and gift to championship to the 48. Five in a row, baby!!!

I don't mind Johnson, he seems like a good guy, but I just wanna see somebody else win a championship for a change. And Hamlin seems like a good guy too, one of few Toyota drivers that I actually like. So I'll be cheering for him next week at Homestead. 
Ford has two drivers in Top 5 now ... Edwards' 4th and Kenseth's 5th.

Who knew so many Ford guys are Jimmie Johnson fans?

Like many here, I am not a fan of Harvick or Hamlin, so I definitely don't want to see either of them being the ones to dethrone Johnson.

Edwards wins with FR9 Engine, will run all races in 2011: Carl Edwards' Ford Fusion has been on an impressive winning streak, earning front row starting positions and capturing the win in the last two Nationwide Series races. Edward's also qualified on the pole during this week's Sprint Cup Series race at Phoenix International Raceway and swept the weekend by winning the Kobalt Tools 500. Edwards drives the #99 Aflac Ford Fusion powered by Roush Yates' new FR9 engine. The FR9 is the first Ford purpose-built race engine ever engineered and produced at Roush Yates Engines in Mooresville, NC. The new Ford engine has been integrated slowly into the Sprint Cup Series throughout the second half of the 2010 season with help from Roush Fenway Racing and Richard Petty Motorsports' cars racing the engine intermittently. It has been a remarkable learning period for the FR9, with a total of 5 poles and 3 wins, including Edwards' win this weekend that required both horsepower and efficient fuel mileage to beat Championship contenders Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin. "The new FR9 engine that Ford helped us with certainly was a factor today," said Jack Roush, owner of Roush Fenway Racing. "The fact that we were able to save gas and still have enough speed to maintain position on the race track was all very good. I'm thrilled to be in Victory Lane this weekend." Even though a Championship is out of reach for Ford this year, the FR9 engine has shown an impressive increase in performance and reliability throughout the second half of the 2010 Sprint Cup season. These improvements bring enthusiasm to the Ford Racing and Roush Yates Engines camps, as they plan to run the FR9 in all Ford cars for the full 2011 Sprint Cup Season.
"I'm excited to be running the FR9 in all Fords for the entire 2011 Sprint Cup Season and soon to come for the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series," said Doug Yates, CEO of Roush Yates Engines. "Carl's win at Phoenix is just another testament to the power Roush Yates' FR9 engine is capable of. Everyone at the engine shop has been working hard to get this engine just right, and we are extremely proud of Roush Fenway Racing and their accomplishments with it this year. I look forward to watching the FR9 race at Ford Championship weekend next week at Homestead, as well as the 2011 Sprint Cup Season."(Roush Yates Engines)(11-15-2010)

I always root for the Ford powered teams out of loyalty but JJ is the man. I can't stand Harvick, wish little Joey would have knocked him out!
I like Denny as a person but I didn't like the way he carried himself after losing, he still had a great season and gave 5-time quite a run, no need being so grumpy.
