Last Nascar Race of the Season

NASCAR will officially end their season this weekend in Homestead Miami.

The Craftsman Truck series will have it's last race Friday night 6:30 PM Central time on Speed (next year Craftsman is dropping the truck series sponsorship and Camping World is picking it up).

Johnny Benson leads with only a 3 point (yes three) lead over Ron Hornaday. After watching last weeks race, I can tell you, this is going to be exciting. Todd Bodine is in 3rd place, 143 points behind the leader.



The Nationwide series will have it's last race of the season Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM Central time on ESPN2.

Clint Boyer leads by 56 points over Carl Edwards. This too is going to be an awesome race to see how these two cup drivers compete to win this championship. Brad Keselowski (driving the Navy 88 car of Dale Jr.) is in 3rd place, 353 points behind the leader, making it impossible to win the championship.


The Sprint Cup series runs it's last race of the season Sunday afternoon 2:00 PM Central time on ABC.

Jimmy Johnson leads by 141 points over Carl Edwards. I think Jimmy only has to finish 36th or better Sunday to win his third Cup Championship in a row (only done one other time by Cale Yarborough in 1976, 77 & 78). But after seeing Jeff Gordon's engine blow up last week, I know anything could happen. Greg Biffle is in 3rd place, 203 points behind the leader.
