1. Harvick-expect him to get it the Earnhardt way, if that's what it takes.
2. Newman-his winless championship (finishes 2nd, pushes Larson to career win #1) has brain france answering questions all winter.
3. Logano-sliced bread will get his someday. i'm just not ready yet. cause what it might mean here! (sliced22-poking fun at ya!)
4. Hamlin-there are a lot of other drivers I like less. but not many.

looking forward to the finale. let's have some fun!
 
I want Harvick or Logano but wouldn't mind Hamlin because he deserved it in 2010. I pray to god it's not ryan Newman because of the whining it would produce.

Hamlin deserves it because he **** the bed back in 2010? He lost his cool, that's entirely on him.

That doesn't sound very deserving to me. :idunno:

Harvick should have no problem winning this thing. Hell, the race, too with the speed he has had all year long.

I'd like Newman to win it for the ripple effect.

He dominated at Phoenix and had a bad finish due to fuel mileage. If he wins that race the championship is effectively over, so yeah I would consider that bad luck. He also won the most races that year
 
1. Harvick - be a very happy fellow
2. Newman - I like Newman, and while he hasn't had a "championship" year I'd look at the championship more as a generational award for him
3. Hamlin - I don't mind Hamlin
4. Logano - Don't like him at all.

Would you like Logano to take it?...or not

My thoughts at least the wishes are the same.

1. Harvick a great driver and underrated imo. Deserving of a title. Would enjoy seeing the Haters offended.

2. Newman old school hard nosed driver. Gritty determined etc... I still have a soft place for RCR in spite of the recent cowboy hat afflictions.

3. Logano like him, just don't want it this year. He drives a Ford as well. But I would enjoy seeing him getting one on all his critics that wrote him off at such a young age.
The connection to Brad factors some too, I would like for him to win it to give Brad a little envy and hopefully some grief over not winning it himself.
If Brad is traumatized or disturbed in any way over a Joey matching title it would definitely be worthwhile. Hopefully Brads failure to win, makes for long grievous sorrowful winter

But on the other hand Brad would claim some false credit as well, I hate to him credited for anything.

4. Hamlin, don't want it to happen because he is Denny. I think Newman is more worthy anyhow as driver. Denny imo belongs less on the finale, and yeah I know he won at Dega. I just find Newman more worthy.
The only upside to his getting a title is that it would hack off that Bayne is loser guy, and his anti Hamlin obsession.
 
All in on Harvick. He and Gordon have been my favorites for as long as I can remember and he's one of the best drivers ever without a title. It would be nice to piss the haters off too.
 
Harvick or Logano are deserving.

Rather want Newman just to have a winless champion in a "winner's format".

He still had a 15 point margin on JJ entering that Homestead finale.
He was faster than JJ that year, but you could see him shaken and disturbed after the Phoenix fuel mileage loss during the post race.
He had the speed and could have confidently went to Homestead with the fastest car and the point lead. Simply stated he still had lots of positives, but he lost the head game that he had ironically kept yapping about during that chase.

I think Johnson won the 2010 title with his slowest title winning performance of all. Denny was faster and should have won the thing, but he just let a driver with more mental strenth beat him purely at the very thing he claimed as a power.
The following 2011 depression that needed Dr Leo Marvins therapy was probably fueled by embarrassment.

So I don't think 2014 owes him anything, he just needs to prove he will not freak out this time and drive a good race title win or not. I say title win or not because unlike 2010 he probably doesn't have Harvicks or Loganos speed this year. He just needs to drive a good race and hope for the best it may not be enough but it would prove he has gained some mental discipline.
 
There won't be a winless champion, but I'm sure that will be a topic.o_O

I'll go with Newman, Harvick, Hamlin, Logano. they asked all the drivers if they would wreck each other to win, Hamlin said is would be an integrity issue with him. Sounded good, I bet coach liked it, but I don't know if I believe it. Newman, and Logano didn't think it needed to be, they could pass clean? Harvick, didn't come out and say it, but said something like we'll take it as it comes. Yeah Harvick will wreck ya.
 
Denny Hamlin in the TRD powered and tuned Toyota Camry.
 
Harvick had some digs at Gordon, and then Brad & Joey
 
Harvick and Logano are deserving for this season.

Newman and Hamlin have both lost championships when they actually deserved it but this season have made little to no noise.

I think Harvick has the experience and style to win it all.
 
Hamlin always finds a way to implode. Season isn't over, he's still got time. :)
JoLo? NO
Love to see Harvick ask Pop-pop to polished his Cup trophy.
Newman has done what the championship was all about, consistency
 
My finishing order pick would be:

* Matt wins race :)

Chase championship order, and I don't care where any of them finish the race as long as it is behind Matt.
1. Harvick (CUP CHAMPION)
2. Don't care
3. Don't care
4. IE: last place, Newman, nah, I really don't care

I think "earned it" is wide open to interpretation as well. Surely we can find some terminology which will be widely accepted, can't we? ;)
