He can, but will he? Probably not. They specifically changed the point system because of Kennseth. When he last won the cup he won it winning the fewest races. He's good at racking up a lot of points because he's always in the top ten at the end of the race if not the top three. He just doesn't seem to have the Gordon killer instinct to finish it off and win it. I like the guy and root for him, but maybe he doesn't have as good of a team or car.
