Highest finisher at Nov. 16, 2014 – Homestead-Miami Speedway will be a 1st NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship
After Phoenix, The Championship 4 Harvick, Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin and Ryan Newman had their points reset to 5,000. At Homestead, the format is simple. Drivers
cannot earn bonus points for leading laps. Whoever crosses the line first among the quartet will win the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship. None of the
drivers have ever won a NSCS title, guaranteeing that the series will crown its 30th champion in its 66-year history.

Now that Jeff Gordon is out I have to change my pick to win the Championship to Kevin Harvick.
Car 4 Kevin Harvick Budweiser Chevrolet
Switched teams to win a Championship, has the momentum to win
Car 11 Denny Hamlin FedEx Office Toyota
Odds on favorite to win at Homestead-Miami Speedway
Car 22 Joey Logano AAA Insurance Ford
Would be the youngest driver to win since Jeff Gordon & would be a great feat for Penski Motorsports
Car 31 Ryan Newman Caterpillar Chevrolet
Without a win he still managed to get to the final 4
