One race to go, one champion to crown.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series ends its lengthy 36-race schedule Sunday afternoon with the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Friday night, Johnny Benson secured the Craftsman Truck Series title, Clint Bowyer won the Nationwide Series trophy Saturday night, and we're expecting to see Jimmie Johnson motor onto a third-straight championship in NASCAR's top series this afternoon.

I know, I know, if you're not a Johnson fan you're more than tired of hearing about the exploits of the No. 48 team, and if your name is Carl Edwards (Johnson's nearest competitor in the point standings for the newbies joining us today), you're hoping you can stage the biggest upset in NASCAR history.

Will it happen? Can Edwards overcome Johnson? If I'm placing a bet, I'm not leaning that way, but hey, 400 miles is a long way and a lot can happen. Join us below in the final live blog event of the NASCAR season (sad face) here at FanHouse and tell us what you think. We'll kick it off right about 3:30 PM EST.

Jimmie Johnson has a ginormous lead ahead with a single race to go in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

Will that be some bad karma for NASCAR's Mr. Incredible? Will Carl Edwards become just the third driver in all of NASCAR's history to overcome a points deficit in the season finale?

I doubt it and probably not. Johnson's gonna win this thing, no matter what Jack Roush says.

Regardless, there's plenty of super fun awesome story lines prepping themselves for Sunday's Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Can Jeff Gordon remember how to win? Will A.J. Allmendinger get payback from Tony Stewart after last week's shenanigans at Phoenix? Will anyone care that Johnson's three-straight titles are a huge freakin' accomplishment?

Whatever your NASCAR fancy is, we'll be serving it up all afternoon here on the 'House with our final live blog of the NASCAR season Sunday afternoon starting at 3:30pm/EST. Come for the whole thing or stop by for a few minutes to jump in on the good times for all.

Will Sunday afternoon's Checker O'Reilly Auto Parts 500k be Jimmie Johnson's opportunity to shine? (Ha, get it?
As in shine like the sun above his car in the photo? Funny? Right?) Or will Carl Edwards be able to pounce on a second straight week of misfortune for the No. 48?

The story is simple: Edwards is 106 points behind the two-time defending champion Johnson with two races left. A slip for Johnson today means Edwards can steal the championship.

With just three races left in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, the NASCAR Sprint Cup season is winding down faster than you can say the word "three-peat" for Carl Edwards and the other drivers still chasing Jimmie Johnson for the season title.

Sunday afternoon at Texas Motor Speedway, that countdown moves closer to zero, but for the first time since Oct. 5 at Talladega, Johnson isn't starting on the pole. Edwards hopes that might bring a chink the armor for the No. 48, and Jeff Gordon hopes he can finally find victory lane after earning the first starting spot on Friday.

Can Johnson keep his sterling pace and move that much closer to a third championship? Can Edwards make up some ground? We'll only know 500 miles from now when one of the 43 starters stands in the TMS victory lane donning the traditional cowboy hat.

Follow all the action on ABC starting at 3pm/ET (green flag around 3:40pm/ET), and get in on the fun as we break down the race right here on the 'House, live blog style. Whether your a first time caller, a long time listener, or both, jump on in below as we break down the Dickies 500.

The weather at Richmond International Raceway is simply phenomenal the day after Tropical Storm Hanna breezed through, and after a day off, the stars of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series are ready to roll in the Chevy Rock & Roll 400.

Kyle Busch leads the field to the green just after 1pm/ET and FanHouse has you covered the whole way. Can David Ragan or Kasey Kahne make the Chase? Will Jeff Gordon get booted out?
