I agree that Tony will have to run good at Richmond.<br /><br />The 29 team, and the 22, both were decent early in the year... but are not looking strong going into the Chase. Everyone will step it up in the Chase... that means the 29 will have to double their efforts, just to keep up. They may have used up all their good luck earlier when they won 3 races, yet only led 9 laps in those 3 races.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-25206336235636042142011-08-30T00:58:44.616-07:002011-08-30T00:58:44.616-07:00Gene, good stuff.

He could make it into the top 10, and knock Smoke off, but I think with the Danica fiasco over with, I think you'll see Smoke make his best runs of the season when he needs them the most. As for Harvick, I think the 29 team will field their very best cars from here on out. (I think they're bringing the same car that won at Charlotte.) But the Bristol night race WAS a yawner. Perhaps Richmond will be what Bristol USED to be.jon_464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-81932405298817534182011-08-29T18:12:35.060-07:002011-08-29T18:12:35.060-07:00I really do think it was firing Dave Winston that ...I really do think it was firing Dave Winston that is biting us in the butt and causing this streak now (our team engineer who sets the car up for Kurt - not Tom German)...<br /><br />Yes, they always streaky but speeding 2x!!

Well okay, here goes ...Pickin on me are ya Gene? <br /><br />Well okay, here goes the chant you were expecting<br />"OverRated! OverRATED! cha cha, chachacha.."<br /><br />(my apologies to our resident Smoke fans...)<br /><br />Looks like putting together a ride for MM/DP has robbed Smoke of his patented summer run...and in the same vein, me thinks miss Patricia is a bit too involved in Kurt's life at the moment and focus is very very off in that 22 ride. Or it could be lead team engineer got canned about 8 races back and we are now seeing the consequences. Either way, BK making Kurt look bad!klvalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013035051062088498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-17319262164777299182011-08-28T20:13:46.918-07:002011-08-28T20:13:46.918-07:00Dwindy...

It was weird to see Kez pass 2-3 cars on pit road and not get gigged for speeding.<br /><br />BK prolly will make it into the top-10 for the Chase. Those Penske Dodges are pretty fast at Atlanta.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-56848719153111605842011-08-28T16:45:56.210-07:002011-08-28T16:45:56.210-07:00Kind of anti-climactic watching the race today on ...Kind of anti-climactic watching the race today on tape and knowing who ended up in victory lane... But I had to see all the wrecks and cautions and pit strategy and... WTH? You're right Gene, this was really one tame race. My gosh, we even had Denny Hamlin apologizing to Cousin Carl for inadvertantly bumping him! <br /><br />The biggest news to come out of the Bristol Cup race was the difference in pit road speeds based on where your pit was located in conjunction to NASCAR's pit road timing lights. Jeff Gordon had a legitimate complaint but I had to laugh watching his quivering lip while he initially stated he should have won! LOL! Gordon backed off later (did someone from NASCAR give him a call???) and didn't say he should have been the winner while expressing his seconds lost while following the pit road speed limit. <br /><br />Will Brad waltz right on into the Chase without the wild card?Dwindy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02915617340823975656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-15556921336404773432011-08-28T16:21:10.531-07:002011-08-28T16:21:10.531-07:00LOL Tez...
