WILL CARL BE CHAMP IN 2012?

>The chances are slim for Carl Edwards to emerge as the 2012 Sprint Cup Champion, if you look at history.
Call it the Bridesmaid Curse.
Since 1985, only 2 drivers have finished 2nd in a season and came back the following year to win the Championship.
Bobby Labonte finished 2nd in 1999 and was Champ in 2000, & Tont Stewart finished 2nd in 2001 and was Champ in 2002.
The average finish for the runner up in the next season over the last ten years is 9th and 2 drivers have not made the Chase the next year, Greg Biffle missed in 2006 after finishing 2nd in 2005 & Mark Martin in 2010 after finishing 2nd in 2009.
So with those kind of odds, what do you think?
I personally think Carl will make the Chase in 2012, he will contend again but will not win.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
