AccuPredict: NASCAR Driver Finish Predictions. It ain't rocket science, but it's damn close!

2011 Homestead/Miami, Ford 400

One race, two drivers.

Will it be Carl Edwards or Tony Stewart that will hoist the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion trophy?

One race, two drivers. That is what the 2011 season has come down to. Carl Edwards leads Tony Stewart by a mere 3-points heading into the season finale at Homestead/Miami Speedway. Hard to believe that after 35 races it is going to come down to the last one of the season but it is. Who do you like?

Ford 400

Carl Edwards: Advantage goes to Edwards as he has won two of the past three races at Homestead-Miami Speedway and has finished in the top-10 the last six races there. He has led a lot of laps in his two wins also.

Tony Stewart: Don’t count him out just yet. Tony won the first two Sprint Cup races ever run at Miami and has won four races during this Chase. This is going to go down to the wire.

Kevin Harvick: Kevin has finished in the top-3 in his last three races at Miami. He is still looking for his first win here but, he has come very close on many occasions.

Jimmie Johnson: Jimmie finished runner-up to Carl here last season and has finished in the top-10 in seven of the 10 races he has run here. He won’t win the championship again this season but he could play spoiler by passing one of the contenders at the end of the race.

Denny Hamlin: Denny has only run six races at Homestead and has three top-5 finishes including a win during the 2009 season. His Chase started out horrible but, he could finish his season on a high note.

Kurt Busch: Kurt won a race here back in 2002 while with Roush. He has finished 2nd running for Penske. After the horrible run and infighting this team experienced early in the year they have to be happy with how they have improved. They need to build on that for next season.

Matt Kenseth: Matt won this race in 2007. I’m looking for Matt to do everything that he can this weekend to help Carl. He will work on different setups during practice and do tire tests if he has to. He will even go as far as lending his pit crew to Carl if they see this as a way of improving anything at all.

Kasey Kahne: Kasey broke his winless drought in Phoenix last weekend and is sitting only 5-points behind Clint Bowyer for that ever elusive 13th spot in the standings. NASCAR hands out a $1 million bonus for this spot. Kasey sat on the pole and finished 6th here last season.

Clint Bowyer: Clint has the exact same average finish at Miami as Kasey and is running his last race for Richard Childress this weekend. He is looking to hold off Kahne this weekend for that bonus.
