Congrats to Brad!!! Wow he is on a fucking roll. Last 4 races. 1,2,3,1....
I'll take him in Atlanta to bring home the Million! Also great comeback by Denny finishing 7th after being spun out.
Onto Atlanta.

Wow was that race gay! I actually fell asleep that's how bad Bristol is now, it's like a mini Michigan now and people don't need to bump and run to pass at all anymore

Damn, how nice would it have been to be the guy that owned the property across from Kentucky Speedway? I told my wife after the parking fiasco that someone was going to make bank that lived around the track. A farmer across the street just sold 219 acres across from the track for a reported 1.5 million dollars. I'm surprised that's all he got. The farmer could have named his price because Kentucky had to do something and the have no other option but to buy out the land around them.
Can't stand Gordon or Johnson...but that was some damn good racing right there.

Gordon gets his 85th win. Took him less races to do it than both Petty and Pearson.

Here's the Chase scenarios to clinch the final spots...
#88-Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Earnhardt is currently 25 points ahead of 11th place. Regardless of any other driver's finish, Earnhardt will clinch if he finishes:
· 20th or better
· 21st or better and leads at least one lap
· 22nd or better and leads the most laps
#14-Tony Stewart
Stewart is currently 23 points ahead of 11th place. Regardless of any other driver's finish, Stewart will clinch if he finishes:
· 18th or better
· 19th or better and leads at least one lap
· 20th or better and leads the most laps
A number of different finishes affect the Wild Card scenario.
- With a victory, #11-Denny Hamlin will earn at least a Wild Card spot.
- With a victory, #27-Paul Menard will earn a Wild Card spot.
- With a victory AND entry into the top 20, #9-Marcos Ambrose or #6-David Ragan will earn a Wild Card spot. Both drivers are currently outside the top 20. Ambrose is seven points outside the top 20; Ragan is 20 points outside the top 20.
All drivers through 23rd place in the series standings remain eligible for a spot in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Aside from the scenarios listed above, those without an already-clinched Chase spot need a win, a top 20 spot and various finishes from other drivers to earn a Chase spot.
Typically not a good track for Jr. as of late...best finish is 15th in the last 6 Richmond races. But on the other hand, it's one of Hamlin's best. Could make for an interesting finale.

Rockingham gets a truck race in 2012. Hopefully this is the start of the Cup series eventually getting back to the track.

Jr was happy with race trim in practice yesterday, didnt work much on Qual trim. So if he can avoid other peoples crap, and get to the front early, he should be ok.

Get to the front? Are you serious? That guy hasn't passed a car on the track all year (Mark Martin waving him by doesn't count). All earnings ought to go to the crew.

Clint Bowyer says it's "Highly unlikely" that he will return to RCR next season.
