What a night at Richmond. Checkered flew at 1:24am. Gordon came back from lap(s)? down during rain delay to finish 2nd and knock BooBooKyle out of the Chase. Joe Gibbs met him on pit lane before he got out of the car and said 'handle it the right way'. When Krybaby finally spoke to ESPN at his hauler he said 'there is no right way to handle it' and walked off. BWAAAAHAHAHAHAA!
Great race with tons of passing due to many cars being on different pit sequence. Gordon was interviewed during the rain delay and said they just totally missed the setup. His crew chief Alan Gustafson from Ormond Beach made the right moves after the restart for a remarkable comeback.

Excellent CBS This Morning segment with Dale Jr 'note to self'. He opens up to show his personal story from his teen years and what he knew his future held.

Thanks! I'll let my brother know. He's always been a big fan of Sr.and Jr.

**Juggernautz** · 09-15-2012, 02:45 PM

I'm sticking my neck out & saying that Biffle wins the chase this year!

^ They also donate alot of leftover food to local organizations after each race.

This is not Nascar, but Tony Stewart's track so I'm posting it. More passing than you see on I-4 in the first highlight. Just the first 5:35 is the midget race. The rest is not as good, its sprint & silver crown divisions. No wings on top because its USAC series.

This is the second race, Larson walked away from a wild crash. I can't believe how far he flew when the other car hit him.

That was interesting. Glad you posted it.

No.2 Shaping Up As No.1 Contender

Keselowski Points To Team

> He's won 2 of the first 3 Chase for the Sprint Cup races, but Brad Keselowski is adamant he isn't a favorite for the Championship.

He might concede, though, that his team is. "I can't emphasize the word 'team' strongly enough, because that's what this sport is," Keselowski said.

"It's easy to caught up looking in stat books and forget about teams." <

A question for NASCAR fans:

Since Dale jr. has been out can his team still collect points in the chase even tho another driver is driving his car?

RayGator · 10-22-2012, 01:00 AM

I'm inclined to say no but I'm not sure how that works.

**Juggernautz** · 10-22-2012, 08:36 PM

Yep, Dale won't collect any points while he's out.

He's suppose to return the next race.

RayGator · 11-07-2012, 05:53 PM

Near the end of the NASCAR season. Coming down to Brad Keselowski vs Jimmie Johnson.

**Juggernautz** · 11-07-2012, 06:40 PM

JJ's got it.

I hope Brad gets it since this is the last season of Dodge running in the Sprint cup.
