THIS IS MY FINAL PROJECTION:
1. Carl Edwards (41% chance of victory)
2. Jimmie Johnson (33% chance of victory)
3. Kyle Busch (15% chance of victory)
4. Joey Logano (10.999999% chance of victory)

CHANCE OF STRANGE EVENTS:
Non-4 driver wins race (K. Harvick 22% chance)
No 4 driver finishes T5 (1.6% chance)
No 4 driver finishes T10 (1.1% chance)
No 4 driver finishes (<0.000001% chance)

BIG WRECK!!! EDWARDS IS OUT!!! JOHNSON IS AHEAD!!! THAT'S WHY NASCAR IS THE CHAMP!!!

Carl Edwards is just a class act. He deserved this one.
