Jeff Gordon fan for years. Danica is keeping up in the top ten as well. I'm proud of her thus far. Funny how the two top Toyota cars had engine and tranny problems though.

That can't be good. It'll be a good rush to the finish though.

For some reason, I thinking it'll be Biffle. Being in the lead with 1 to go is usually not a good thing.

Speaking of Edwards like Jimmie pulled a Carl. Damage car in post-race celebration. Damn, like Gordon got a little bit in that last lap crash.

Jeff got shuffled back. Jimmie is patient though. And that really works for him. Great performance from Danica.

20th... Well it could have been worse. This points system really bad for coming out from a slump though.

Supported Jimmie Johnson #48 all the way ... Congrats to him !!!

Was hoping Danica maintain the 3rd spot to the finish but I think she choose the wrong line as her Crew Chief instructed her and he confirmed that ... however, she still managed to finish in the 8th position ....

Congrats to Jimmie..Was really hoping Jr could have made a run at him for the win.
Also good to see those underfunded teams like the #51, #98 and #36 get top 10's.

NASCAR only turns left?

What the hell was I seeing when I watched the races at Watkins Glen and Sonoma and saw a number of times the rednecks beat established road racers at their own game.

No other automobile racing series can match the business model of NASCAR.

And to those who think it is a shade tree mechanic sport, those teams use seven post chassis rigs to set up their cars.

The rules are so tightly written, I think the mechanics and crew chiefs are even smarter than Adrian Newey to get around the rule book.

Toyotas falling again, though 3 separate incidents.

Damn that was a nasty hit for Danica.

Top 10 finish in race = Top 10 position in points.

I don't know. Jimmie Johnson shows a level of consistency that is unbelievable. Sucks to be Jeff Gordon. A car that you are a co-owner of, and which is theoretically similar to yours, is beating you consistently day in and day out.
