Jimmie Johnson expects nothing short of a win next Sunday at Homestead in order to beat Denny Hamlin to what would be his fifth consecutive Sprint Cup series title. The reigning champion heads into the season-finale not leading the points for the first time since 2006 and carrying a 15-point deficit to Chase leader Denny Hamlin, who has won eight races this year to Johnson's six. Kevin Harvick also heads in with a good championship chance on Sunday as he trails Hamlin by only 46 pointsSource: http://www.inracingnews.com/nascar-news/nascar/johnson-targets-homestead-win/

Just gettin started on this one. A BIG thanks to Fury3 for sharing his vast Mopar knowledge and getting me the right info for the parts and vendors I needed to make this happen. It has Micro Nitro Fenton aluminum wheels with a custom offset on the rears. A complete and correct 69 RR resin interior tub and dash. and resin six pac hood It is a reissued Johan body with a AMT 68 RR chassis and a 440 from the 68 dart GTS. Slicks are from the Polar Lights funny car kit and the front tires are from the parts box. I work a lot of hours not a lot of time for models so it will be a slow build. I will post more pics when I can. Thanks fer lookin.

Kasey Kahne will be having surgery on both knees in the days following this weekend's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway and is expecting to be sidelined about six weeks, the driver of the No. 83 Red Bull Toyota told FanHouse Wednesday. Kahne, the 2004 Cup Series Rookie of the Year, characterized the operation as "no big deal" and said doctors were just going to clean up the area surrounding the knees. He said he opted to have both knees worked on at once because it was "either six weeks this way, or 12 weeks doing it one after the other.'' While this means Kahne won't be participating in offseason testing -- including the Jan. 20-22 tire test at the newly paved Daytona International Speedway -- he fully expects to be behind the wheel of his Red Bull Racing Toyota in time for the Feb. 20 season-opening Daytona 500. Kahne is the second high-profile driver to undergo knee surgery this year. Championship points leader Denny Hamlin had a more serious surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee on March 31 and raced two weeks later without a relief driver. He won the next race, 19 days later at Texas Motor Speedway and currently holds a 15-point edge over Jimmie Johnson in the championship standings entering Sunday's season finale.
