Denny Hamlin wins the Miami Ford 400, and ponders what might have been, if not for those 3 dnfs. And Jimmie Johnson wins an historic 4th straight championship. And what in the world were Tony Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya doing, crashing each other? Pretty good finale after all.

We're picking Juan Pablo Montoya to win Sunday's Miami 400....which may be the only storyline here at Homestead Miami Speedway that could top Jimmie Johnson's 4th straight championship. And -- has the Chase run its course, and is it time to change things up?

Jimmie Johnson runs the table. He leads the most laps in the Phoenix 500, wins the race, and takes an all-but insurmountable lead to Homestead for the NASCAR finale. Jeff Gordon is officially out of it. Only Mark Martin has a long-shot chance.

Jimmie Johnson vs Mark Martin, and Mark needs to pick up 30 or 40 points on Jimmie to go into the Homestead finale within striking distance for the title. Jimmie? All he's got to do here at Phoenix is stay ahead of Mark.

Martin Truex wins the Phoenix pole, and makes crew chief Pat Tryson a double winner: Tryson will become Truex' crew chief in 2010, and right now he's heading Kurt Busch's team, and Busch is on the outside of the front row.

Wow! Jimmie Johnson crashes three laps into the Texas 500, and loses more than 100 points to Mark Martin and Jeff Gordon, and suddenly we've got a championship chase again, heading this week to Phoenix. Kurt Busch outfoxes Kyle Busch to win, on gas mileage!?
