Really impressed all Stewart Haas cars
are in the top 14. I would like to see Harvick or Edwards punch their ticket tonight then Dale Jr. at Talladega. |

Not sure if Talladega is the best place to bring a lot of pressure and a bunch of frayed tempers...
We could be in for a pretty wild one come next Sunday. Can't freakin' wait! |

My first reaction to seeing that post-race mess was that it was either staged, or at least encouraged by Nascar.

Stupid thing is there is no need for Nascar to do this, the chase format has produced good racing and plenty of drama. |

Kalamity Keselowski clattered Stewart apparently by accident and collides with Kenseth who had his safety gear undone. Kenseth had his eyes out on stalks during his interview. I don't care what they do out of their car but harpooning each other like that is gonna have consequences one fine day.
I didn't see what mad Brad had to say for himself. |

The racing has been good all year. The only thing the Chase has provided is more TV-time for the top 16 (now 12) and a points update every 50 laps. http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-med...incidents.html |

Ryan Newman has no wins and is fourth in the standings.
Keselowski has 5 wins, Dale Jr has 3 wins, Johnson has 3 wins. They are 10th, 11th and 12th. Wasn't the new Chase system supposed to reward wins? |

I haven't really bothered to engage with this new system. I just focus on the racing and take the pundits word as to whoever is still in this. I'm just a bit so-and-so by it all really. Last edited by Paradise City; 12 Oct 2014 at 14:35. |

It would be pretty unpopular for an accumulator rather than a winner to get the title I would imagine. How good is that ?

Unpopular to who? Who remembers Kenseth only won 1 race the year he won (2003), yet won 7 last year & didn't get the title - me

I like Kevin Harvick's comment about the post-race scuffle:

Sunday can't come here soon enough, I think we're in for a wild ride. |

Brad K and Stewart are handed fines and placed on probation and Hamlin and Kenseth get nothing. Seems rather odd considering Hamlin was the initiator with Brad and Kenseth physically attacked Brad.

I threw in the towel on NASCAR and the Falcons weeks ago. It really freed up my Sundays, which is great!

I hear you on the Falcons, but then again, I have
always liked pulling for an underdog which the Falcons will be the rest of the season. But on NASCAR, wild horses could not keep us away from Dega. This Chase has me hook, line, and sinker. I think the driver with the most pressure on him will be Jr. Nothing like hearing the Jr. roar when he goes to the front. He will need to win to move on. Family truckster pulls out at 7:30a.m. with the final destination of the Turn 4 Dega stands. |

I need to go to 'dega at least once and it would be cool around Halloween. It's probably a little like Sebring on St. Patricks; a complete show, which is right up my alley. |

What a bunch of buffoons to throw a yellow for someone who didn't completely spin and was in the grass, away from everyone. This is a joke and I can't wait for the big one. Isn't that why we sit through plate racing? The big one?

Restart with nine laps to go. I'd be very surprised if they go green the rest of the way.
Edit: And it didn't, but because of debris. Last edited by rustyfan; 19 Oct 2014 at 21:19. |

I thought Danica might survive the crap shoot for a brief time there. Amusing if she had of won it. Gordon the only Hendrick survivor apparently. Landon Cassill had a good surge towards the end too.
Last outing for Texas Terry, so a bit of history made there. |

May not be a popular opinion but I'm glad 'bad-guy' Brad got through, the #2 has been one of the top 3 teams and would be a shame to lose them this early. Then again, end of season play-off upsets are the norm in ball-and-stick sports.
It was also nice to see someone actually drive to the win at one of these plate races rather than luck into it. |

Was it just me or did Keselowski's best friend Matt Kenseth help Kez get the win in the final lap?
