Unfortunately Richmond was kind of a snoozefest for me. The racing action just didn't seem as good as it has in years past. But with that said, we still saw Austin Dillon spin out Danica (poor thing), and Denny Hamlin take out Truex on the last lap of the race. Dale Jr tried to gamble on pit strategy and catch a caution to get him on the front row, but cautions were scarce Saturday night. So no Chase for the 88. Maybe he can still a win before the year is out. There were a couple of other exciting moments mixed in, but nothing to continue on about. The Chase field is set, with Truex leading the way by quite a margin to start out. Some of the guys are going to have to get it together if they want to compete with the 78 and 42 down the stretch.
Time to pack it up and move it on to Chicago this week. Logano said there are 10 races left, so he expects to win 10 races this year. I hope it starts off well for him this week since I have him picked!
