I wasn't privileged to experience the '97 points race but I have to guess it was very exciting. In looking at old stats

Gordon beat Jarret by only 14 points and Martin by only 29.

Gordon hadn't won since Sept 14th and Jarrett won one each in Sept Oct and November. Martin won once in September.

Must have been a real nail biter for you Gordon, Jarret and Martin fans.

I hope we can see a finish like that this year. Who do ya think will be the top three contending for the title late this September?
 
That was a great points battle. This year I think at the end it will be Mark Martin, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon contending for the title.

with Marlin fading out of the top 5.
 
I've been saying it for months. Martin beats JeffyPoo and Stewie for the points, but it won't be decided until the final race. Marlin 4th, Jimmie fading. Bill might get 5th if somebody don't start beating him.

Mark's drive for the cup begins with a win at the Glen.
