Kevin Harvick would have been the favorite to win the championship. He had over a 200 point lead at the time and has since had good finishes in the remaining ten races.

How do the drivers qualify for the NASCAR championship?
The top 10 drivers with the most points after the first 26 races automatically make Nascar's 'Chase for the Sprint Cup'. There are also two wildcard spots available, that would be the two drivers from 11th to 20th place in points who have the most wins.Let's say three drivers from 11th to 20th place have two wins each after the 26 races. The two drivers with the most points of the three would qualify for the wildcard spots.To determine the Nascar Sprint Cup Series winner:Whoever has the most points over the last 10 races of the season is declared the champion.

Why isn't Jimmie Johnson considered when talking sports champion dynasties?
There are a few reasons for this (not neccessarily fact, but generally acknowledged within the NASCAR fanbase). Since 2004, the sport has experienced a significant drop in quality with new corporate management, new rules, and a new points system. With the inclusion of the Chase for the Sprint Cup points system, all drivers in the top 10 in points, along with two wild-card drivers, have their points reset to 2,000, with an additional 3 points for every win in the first 26 races; this makes the points race much closer for the final ten races as compared to the 26th race. Because of this, a driver needs only to make the Chase for a shot at the championship, then race hard for the final 10 races, rather than race hard/consistently for the entire season. Since 2004, there have been seven Chase for the Sprint Cup champions (Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, and Jimmie Johnson); but only three of those times has the champion scored the most points in the season, suggesting that the other four champions didn't deserve to win the championship. Johnson has won the title every year since 2006, but only twice (2006 and 2009) has he earned the most points in a season, meaning that while he may be a five-time champion, three of them were only won because of th Chase. This wouldn't be as big a deal if the Chase was critically successful in the NASCAR community, but since it isn't, and due to the fact that Jeff Gordon would be a six-time champ instead of a four-time champ if it wasn't for the Chase, this concept has been met with unpopular results (including lower attendance and tv ratings). So in conclusion, Jimmie Johnson may be a five-time champion, but in most people's eyes he is simply a three-time paper champion. A dynasty is a team which has dominated their sport for anywhere from 5-10 years in a row, but in Johnson's case, he has only been the benefactor of a faulty system.

How did Bill France Sr get the idea for nascar?
In the early 1940's he participated in races at Daytona Beach when he moved there from Washington to escape the Great Deppression. The races were very unorganized and the sponsor of the race would leave with the prize money before the race was over. France wanted an organized sport with a complex points system so he founded NASCAR at the Streamline hotel at Daytona Beach, Florida in 1948.
