RCR honcho Richard Childress generated a bit of grist for the NASCAR mill after calling out the 48 and his five consecutive championships in a presser yesterday.
Childress has the means, the experience, and the will to press the challenge to Johnson and Knaus, but does he have the drivers? Harvick and Bowyer both possess the skills and the machines to pull even with the Champion, yet do either have the mettle to outlast him in a ten race shootout?
