Sure,he has the talent,he has the support team and all the tools to be the champ,but he has yet develop the attitude that is required.He will have to learn to deal with the media as they are going to push him harder because they are looking to get under his skin at every opportunity.Until he develops the mental toughness to deal with adversity then he willcontinue to fail in his quest to be the champ,and I say he will never match what Richard,Dale,and now what Jimmie has achieved.Until he gets the attitude fixed he will just be a good racer with a bad attitude and I say to that,SO WHAT.Besides, everybody knows by now that they will have to go through the 48 team and the 48 teamwill not lay down. Denny came close and that team has the talent as well,but the 48 team proved again,even with the problems they had they refuse to let any team out there out work them. Somebody will have to have some really good fortune and the 48 will have to have some bad fortune for somebody to take it away.Kevin Harvick had an outstanding year and he has all the tools as well. Truth is,none of us knows who will win, that's why they race.Who would have thought Kevin Harvick would have been the points leader going into the Chase last year other than a Harvick fan? He would have won it under the old format.Good luck to all and congrats in advance to the winner,most likely somebody other than Kyle Busch.I say it's easier to beat 41 other teams than it is to beat the 48.
