Talladega looked to be the best race I've seen all year. Lot's of action, tight racing, and plenty of wrecks. I think there were only a dozen cars or so that finished the race. Jr didn't get the win I predicted but, if you see my name on the sheet you can tell I haven't done that great at predicting the winners. He ran good though, and if it wasn't for his splitter breaking he might have had a shot at getting to the front. Chase Elliott had the car to beat, but just had some bad luck with 6 laps to go. He had one hell of a run and saw the opening and went for it. Suarez just didn't see him in time and it ended both of their chances. I hated to see a Ford in victory lane, but at least it said "Cheers 2 Dale Jr" on the back!
Let's get ready for some more settled down racing action at Kansas this week. The race for the chase is getting tight as this race is the last of the round of 12. After Kansas we will be down to the round of 8. Our standings are tightening up as well, so good luck to everyone in the hunt!
