NASCAR Nostradamus
Many have claimed Nostradamus foretold the existence of Mother Teresa (The Saintly one, not the NASCAR one.), and the downing of TWA flight 800. Other translations of his nearly 1000 quatrains claimed the 16th century prognosticator said JFK would die in a plane crash. Well… he was half right. JFK did die.
In predicting the outcome of this years [avatar:http://cranialcavity.net/files/cup.jpg]NEXTEL Cup[/avatar] Chase I hope to fall somewhere between Nostradamus and sham artist The Amazing Kreskin.
Lets start with the Pretenders
Ryan Newman leads the pretender list after only barely making the Chase. In the first 26 events he has an average starting position of 6.8 (They don’t call him Rocket Man for nothing) and a finishing average of 16.7. Added to his poor finishing average is the 45 point hole he must dig the #12 out of. His partisans point to the Dale Jarrett incident as the cause of some of Newman’s problems. I contend his downward spiral started in Chicago when he assumed [avatar:http://cranialcavity.net/files/butt-head.gif]this position[/avatar] by attempting to enter pitroad at a speed approaching the terminal velocity of Halley
