"Mike Helton, president of NASCAR, stopped by briefly to hug Earnhardt. Helton later told Sirius Radio that it's his belief that Earnhardt -- who sits second in the point standings, only four points behind leader Matt Kenseth -- now is the man to beat for this year's Sprint Cup championship."-nascar.com
OK, certainly no Earnhardt hater here, even glad he won...but he's going to need to win more than 1 race in four years before I consider him the frontrunner. Jeez Helton really wants this to happen so bad!
I agree that he may find himself in the hunt, and agree that he has been running well, and maybe even "a" favorite (maybe) but definitely not the driver to beat. Jimmy Johnson remains the man to beat down the stretch (as much as that pains me) and Stewart will be right there. I even pull for Jr. a bit and think it would be great for him to win it, but no way he is the man to beat, not when Kenseth, Johnson, and Stewart are all right there with NINE championships between them. Would you really put money on Jr. over those guys?
It really helps that Dillon is very likeable and a local guy.
