Yup!!.. Ryan Numan barely misses the chase... Tough break for him.
Congrats to Smoke for the victory! So going into the Chase, whose your picks? 1) Jeff Gordon - I think it's time for his due. He's been playing second fiddle to JJ. And although I'm a 48 fan, I just don't see the drive for five happening for him this year. Just too many distractions. Baby blues, trying new things on the setup, and a different goal orientation. 2) Kevin Harvick - He's just been consistent all year long. No my favorite driver, but his overall point lead and consistency point to a Cup win for this guy. 3) Jeff Burton - Honestly, if there's ever a dark horse in this chase, it's Burton. He's been hungry for championship for a couple years but plagued with bad luck and bad equipment. It seems they've got the equipment thing licked and are overcoming the bad luck pretty well.

I think it is ABC from here on out.
Hendrick had a horrible night. How the heck could the 14, 39 and 48 be so fast and not the 5, 24, and 88 when they are all basically running the same equipment? I am glad the 14 won even though he was horrid on restarts; Tony Stewart was so happy in victory lane it was kind of funny to see. LOL. 48 will keep winning every championship until they change or alternate The Chase tracks IMO.

i think if Harvick can keep running consistent and get a few more wins he will win the Championship.. Would be great to see Smoke or Burton win as well.. |

Fortunately for him he was that guy... I agree, the 48 will keep winning, but tracks have nothing to do with it. He has been so good at many of the earlier tracks but he is just a little off this year. But as i remember in recent years, JJ kicks it up 5 notches during the chase. He is in charge and in control during the chase races. That definitely gives him an advantage over the rest of the field. Happy Harvick is not going to win the championship. Yeah, he is having a banner year, but Harvick will flounder in the chase, count on it...

I would like to see the 48 win the championship again. I think that it will put alot of naysayers to rest that he's just lucky. Because this year has not been a lucky year for JJ. His goals for this year weren't even to win the championship but more on personal goals (from fatherhood to just winning at tracks he hasn't). By winning the championship, it'll show that they're just that good and that this is the new standard.
That being said, I think Gordon is in a place to capitalize on the change of plan with the 48 team. And being that the 24 is in second coming into the Chase, it makes sense that he is in strong contention. Let's just hope that Stevie LeFart doesn't screw it up for him by making bad calls. As for the other two Hendrick teams. I don't think equipment is the issue. It's the driver attitude. Dale Junior has the potential to be a good driver. He has the cars to run in the top ten. But he looses his cool too quick and lets it bother him the rest of the race. One bad pit stop or a mishap on the setup and he jerks himself out of the race and just cruises around mid-pack. And Mark Martin, albeit a nice guy who knows how to work the gear he's given, still plays it way too safe to be a champion. For whatever reason, he's not a risk taker and this interferes with winning races.

But that is what makes the 48 teams so dangerous... they have both Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus... Knaus is an amazing crew chief.

Keep in mind that Jeff Gordon also just had another. It wasn't nearly as publicized as their first and Jimmie's is the talk of the season. But I agree that the Knaus/Johnson combo is definitely a HUGE PART of their success.

Ever since I saw that commercial, I was totally hoping that he would eventually drive that car!
