that tongue looks as worn as a set of goodyears with 100+ laps on em.... high milage!

As for who to take, it's a crapshoot........... look for the guys who have to win to advance to the next round to take the biggest risks; if they avoid trouble, the could be in contention...... otherwise, it could be kenseth, harvick, kyle bush, keselowski or any of the Hendricks boys..... there's a whole list of guys who run decent at plate tracks, and anyone of them could win it if they avoid the big one (and all of the mini-ones taking out 3-5 cars).......

Yeah qualifying was a mess.

But I had read and knew what was happening. And all the start n parkers knew what what to do. So personally I think it's the affected drivers own fault.

**uncle vinny** · 10-19-14, 09:22 AM

Ive been points racing since the chase started. Maybe 1 driver a week. Like my position championship wise and if half the chase drivers are points racing so should i.

Next 3 races will be differant. Today will be a 190 mph parade. No one is going to want to make a mistake. Last 10 laps might be good but doubt it.

Real racing returns next week

Hopefully those not points racing will help mix it up a little.

The truck race was entertaining.

Think you will get it, as other than Harvick and Joey no one can just lay in back

The non chasers dont want to be the reason someone doesnt advance... took all of 6 laps to get lined up.

TV guys think its all about Junior!

**Optional** · 10-19-14, 01:45 PM

Geez, the 4 guys in knockout position are a lot closer to the bubble than I thought they would be.

**BadNina** · 10-19-14, 02:45 PM

I think drivers who hang around the back of the pack of restrictor plate races are wusses and should all be wrecked.

Looks like your Jinx worked this week

**yisman** · 10-19-14, 04:00 PM

yeah I just came to post that

I forget every week to fade the Nina driver

also, regarding that qualifying, this race had to be the weirdest qualifying in a long time.

Ryan Blaney, Allmedinger, McDowell, Kvapil, Terry Labonte, and Michael Annett finished top 10, and Vickers won the pole.

Hamlin, Harvick, Logano, Gordon, Kyle Busch, Larson, Stewart, Allgaier, and Stenhouse all failed to qualify.

Any other week, the last two would've made it in via owner's points, but this time they didn't because of all the top guns that also didn't qualify.

**BadNina** · 10-19-14, 04:45 PM

Dear Kyle Busch,

You're welcome!

Loves!!

Nina
