2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Round 18: LifeLock.com 400, Chicagoland Speedway

not a huge fan of Chicagoland Speedway, but that is where the series feels it needs to go. maybe running the race at night will help. never hurts watching them go at night.

Sadly agreed, JPM has been dead average for most of this year, rather frustrating when he always seems to show alot of promise untill raceday..

Bring on Indy, if he is going to do the oval win anywhere it will be there.

[Knowlesy]

I am not so sure. JPM has had far more incidents than JMac though which is hurting him badly.

It has been a bad year admittedly.

JPM always seems to be running around or inside P10 - then latin temperament heats up & something "dumb & meaningless" happens... Should've been a Chase driver for sure, Ganassi would be disappointed i reckon!

Another poo race for Ambrose, was actually catching the #48 when the 1st caution came out (for Stremme incident i think) - then pitted & lost lug nuts & that was it

Great result for MWR & Reutimann, congrats to them
