HALL OF FAME...

I've got no problem with the first class in the Hall of Fame, but, it's a shame Pearson won't be in it....he deserves it...
I'd like to see them separate the drivers and others as other halls do....this would make it more fair for both drivers and those who need to be recognized for their contributions.

IT'S OVER.;....

Another victory at his house...3 wins in first 5 Chase races...folks, I'll say it now...it's over...JJ wins his 4th in a row...
Gotta give loads of props to the #48 team...they own the Chase....it's not even close...

On to Martinsville...where they have dominated...again....sigh...

BTW - things are going awful for Junior....it's borderline embarrassing....

SMOKE SCORES IN KANSAS!

Tony Stewart gets back in the Chase with a big two tire stop and runs
away with the win in race 3 of the Chase. Mark Martin keeps the lead
over JJ.

The big news is the possibility Danica might race in some events next
year for Junior's team with Go Daddy as sponsor. The hot rumor is she
might replace Mark Martin in the 5 car down the road....

JJ SERVES NOTICE!

Jimmie Johnson let everyone know he's still the man to beat with an
impressive win at Dover. He wants that unpresidented 4th championship
in a row. Mark Martin still leads the Chase, but JJ and the 48 team
are coming into a stretch of tracks they OWN!

One tidbit....any fall Dover winner has not won the Chase yet...

CHASE WEEK 1....

Mark Martin held off JP Montoya and K. Busch to take round one at NHIS. An entertaining end to what was a somewhat dull race, as they usually are at New Hampshire. Feel bad for Junior - had a good run ruined by the #00....

What's up at RPM? Sorensen running for free - Kahne blows an engine and is last in chase - who's in charge with the merger with Yates? Rumors are George Gillett is looking to sell and get out of this fiasco...somewhere Ray Evernham is laughing.....

Dover is next in the Chase.....BTW - Martin Truex has a couple of events in AC to raise money for his foundation...check it out at http://martintruexjrfoundation.org/

TRUEX GETS A CREW CHIEF

One quick note...when he climbs into the #56 NAPA car next season,
local fav Martin Truex will have Pat Tryson on the pit box. He's been
Kurt Busch's crew chief and had been at Roush/ Fenway.
It will split the Truex/Kevin 'Bono' Manion pairing which won 2
Nationwide titles, but has struggled lately.

NASCAR IN NYC

This Thursday, the Chase drivers are headed to the Big Apple for a luncheon and events to promote the 'playoffs'. Might want to check it out....
