Most have written of Skaife but with him on 1516 he is still well within striking distance.

The top 3 are currently Ingall who leads the series on 1610 points; Ambrose has 1544 and Lowndes 1529.

No he can't, the SBR cars and Lowndes will finish the year to strongly for him to stand a chance. I'm picking Ingall to win it, followed by Lowndes then Ambrose who seems to have his mind on Nascar.

You ford guys will crash each other out while Holden's Skaife and Kelly work together to pull of the unthinkable.

Really? Is that why it was Ford finishing 1 and 2 last year? And why it is currently Ford 1, 2 and 3? Thats really crashing into each other :roll:

So you are saying Ambrose and Lowndes won't try and overtake Ingall at whatever cost necessary?

Sorry to break it to you, but the Fords won't take each other out. Whilst they will each race for the win, like the years gone by, it'll be good hard fair racing. I don't see why just because you say they'll take each other out it'll happen when it hasn't before.

is that a trick question?
i don't think u understood the comment properly.
ford are currently running 1,2 and 3 in the championship. it would be very difficult to ruin that now, considering how dominating all three fords have been all year.

but heres your answer anyway.

they will overtake by any means necessary but not if it will cause them to crash and ruin the rankings. ambrose, ingall and loundes would rather finish anywhere in the top ten in these next two races than crashing and not finishing the race.

sorry kiwi but i wanted to answer that one for you.

find proof where any of these three drivers have done that before and then talk about it. but until then, you have nothing.

GO THE FORDS FOR A 123 FINISH!!!

skaifes only 13 points behind lowndes and 28 behind ambrose thats not an impossibilty.

don't know if those rankings are counting the drop off.

That isn't that far behind, Skaife probably won't take number 1 but he sure can break the Ford 1,2,3.

Ambrose and Ingall clash at Hidden Valley ring any bells?

So one incident and now they do it all the time? Skaife has had a run in with team mates before as well, just like everyone really, guess that means Skaife has no chance to now. Looks like Lowndes has it won, just give it to him now.

I'm personally more worried about the holden drivers punting them off the track the dirty bastards

I was just providing an example as requested. You are right though you are more likely to get a crash from a holden guy with all the rivalry. Murphy, Skaife would be 2 that come to mind.

It was a lame example really, sometimes team mates tangle, not often but it happens. To say they will take each other out with a championship on the line is stupid. They are all professional drivers who have all been around a long time, not amatuers filling in.

To make the following claim
You ford guys will crash each other out while Holden's Skaife and Kelly work together to pull of the unthinkable.
Says you realise the Ford and their drivers are BETTER and this is the only way Skaife can win it. Must suck being a Holden fan right now.
