I read on different forums, facebook, etc. People stating that if Bubba was her this year, that Dungey would not be walking away with the championship. I personally think they are crazy. Dungey is at the top of his game at the moment. Bubba has not won a championship in 6 years!
Rocket Robin put these numbers together, and they pretty much tell the story on Bubba.
Bubba is another crazy assumption and he's shown clearly that he's not consistent enough to win a SX title for the past 5 years straight. Looking at Recent history:
2014 - Dungey - 2nd, rode every race 304 points, Bubba - 4th, rode every race 272 points
2013 - Dungey - 3rd, rode every race 337 points, Bubba - 10th, missed last 3 races 174 points (Give him 3 wins, and it's only 249 points)
2012 - Dungey - 3rd, missed 5 races 257 points, Bubba - 7th, missed 6 races 178 points (Give him 1 win and it's only 203 points)
2011 - Dungey - 3rd, rode every race 328 points, Bubba - 4th, rode every race 301 points
2010 - Dungey - 1st, rode every race 363 points, Bubba - 20th, Missed 14 races 51 points
2009 - Dungey - Rode 250SX class, Bubba - 1st, raced every race 377 points
So every year that Dungey has ridden in the 450 class, he has beaten Bubba every time in heads up competition. Including twice where they each rode every race in the SX season. And another season where they each missed a similar amount (5 races for Dungey, 6 Races for Bubba) even if we give Bubba a 25 point win for the extra race missed that season, Dungey still beats him. The season that Bubba missed the last 3 races, if we let him win all three hypothetically, he still doesn't beat Dungey on the year.
Where does it make sense that Bubba would beat Dungey Heads up this year now that he is at the tail end of his career as a professional racer while Dungey is in the prime of his? It simply doesn't. Sure Bubba would win another SX Main or 2, but he wouldn't win the Championship.

kidding of course. Good number crunching right there.
And Common "A main or 2" the guy Smoked Dungey a bunch last year, more than Dungey smoked him. Dungey was just way more consistent.

Stewart can win any given race. He's one of the best speed wise. But how anyone can argue that he has had issues with finishing a whole series since jumping to the big boy class is beyond me.

That's still a month away.
Dungey's running on a lot of confidence right now, which would be not insignificantly reduced if JS, who himself would be enjoying a nice rise in confidence from RV's absence, was on the line.
But RD might very well still have won the title. He definitely will now. 'Night.
Other thread
As for Stewart's career, it really seemed to take a hit when he was riding the new generation Yamaha, but at least he was able to win some races on it also.
That was my captain obvious impression......
I just don't buy anyone that says he would have won it this season if not for the suspension. The numbers show otherwise.
