This weekend the checked flag is being waved on the 2012 NASCAR season with the waving of the green flag at the final race in Miami Homestead.  And with it a new champion will be crowned (that is unless Jimmie somehow pulls out the win, which in that case it will not be a new champion, but a 6th time champion).

But for my pick (drum roll please) …

Brad Kesolowski! I think he’ll win the race, and the chase. That is unless someone wrecks and/or kidnaps him.

Oh, and as for that really random pic, that is us at Halloween a few years ago, my girlfriend and I went as Panther cheerleaders in the bathroom and he went as a cop and arrested us! haha
