Points leader
Jimmie Johnson (Chevy No 48) /link] could very well grab his [link artid="102731"]third championship in a row, something that has been done only once in
NASCAR's history when Cale Yarborough did so in 1976-77-78.
The Nationwide drivers will race the same track on Saturday afternoon also at 3:00 pm in the O'Reilly Challenge. Canadian D.J. Kennington (Dodge No 81) will be part of the show as will Juan Pablo Montoya (Dodge No 40) who is returning to the series at least for this event. This race will be televised live on ESPN2 and on TSN2 at 3:00 pm and later on, on TSN, at 11:30 pm.
Finally, the Craftsman Truck series drivers will race on Friday evening in the Chevy Silverado 350K. Canadian Paul Tracy will make a return to NASCAR in this race driving the No 9 Tundra sponsored by Bombardier Lear Jet. This race will be seen on SPEED TV.
