EDMONTON, AB – Winning a season championship in any racing division takes dedication and perseverance. Ten different drivers have won a championship in the Northern Provincial Pipelines Late Model Series since its first official season back in 2001. This weekend the NASCAR Sprint Cup season wraps up at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida. Past and current champions of the NPP Late Model Series did some prognosticating when asked who would be crowned the NASCAR Champion for 2016.

NPP CHAMPIONS HAVE PICKED:
4 – Carl Edwards
2 – Jimmy Johnson
2 – Kyle Busch
1 – Joey Logano

DARRELL MIDGLEY – “Kyle Busch is my first choice. He is the defending champion and definitely knows how to rise to the occasion.”

MARK MILLER – “I hope Carl is going to win it. Jimmy and Kyle have already won a championship. I’d like to see Carl win it.”

KEVIN WHEELER – “I think it’s going to be Carl Edwards. I just have a feeling that it is his turn.”

MIKE TOM – “Carl Edwards is probably due. I’ll put my money on Edwards.”

BRUCE BROUGHTON – “Joey Logano is winning that race on Sunday. That is my pick. I think he’s going to be the guy. I ‘ve got a 25% chance of being right.”

JASON BEAULIEU – “I’d put my money on Jimmy. He’s won the championship a bunch of times and can make some history winning another one.”

DWIGHT KENNEDY – “I’d really like to see Carl Edwards win it. I think he should take it…….. hopefully!”

TREVOR EMOND – “I’d like to see Kyle Busch win it again. I’m not a big Toyota fan but Kyle will probably take it.”

DENNIS MacEACHERN – “I have to go with Jimmy Johnson. Experience is the main reason why. He’s dealt with the pressure before and I know that he and Chad Knaus (crew chief) can get it done. JJ for sure.”
