Media poll puts Johnson out front
Thursday, Feb. 04, 2010
Four-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson is picked to win a fifth in a poll of media members conducted by NASCARmedia.com.
That wouldn't necessarily be surprising except that it's the first time the media have predicted he would repeat since he won his first title in 2006.
Jeff Gordon was picked second, Tony Stewart third, Kyle Busch fourth, Carl Edwards fifth, Denny Hamlin sixth, Mark Martin seventh, Kurt Busch eighth, Juan Pablo Montoya ninth, Matt Kenseth 10th, Greg Biffle 11th and Ryan Newman 12th.
Edwards was also picked to win the Nationwide Series title and Ron Hornaday was picked to win his fifth Truck series title.
