    Mike, have you given any thought to placing any chase futures?

    I am liking Denny, he seems best value and hitting strong form at the right time.

    Yep, I like Hamlin, can get it for +500 still. Also like Brad as my other option. And then if there is a good chance to cover with Jimmie later in the chase i'll take him as well, but not at current odds.

    I'm rooting for Dale Jr for Champion.

    Like Bowyer more than Truex between MWR guys.

    Think if he gets that first win in first coupl races he will be a threat due to consistency.

    Why dale jr Opti

    I just like to root for someone, doesn't mean I think he will win.

    But, he has been the most consistent driver pretty much all year, hardly ever falling outside the top 3 in standings. Not that consistency wins the chase usually, but it keeps you in the fight and there to grab a chance if it comes.

    Too soon for BradK to 'deserve' one yet, neither Ford guy excites me much this year, Gordon and Jimmie have enough, Smoke had his miracle last year... Can't bring myself to root for Denny (as he is such a puss) and as much as I'd like to see MWR do well, 2 cars in the chase is well enough for them this year... so it comes down to Junior by default

    Woo Hoo.

    RPM have swapped crew chiefs.

    Been saying all year that Ambrose/Parrot have no chemistry. Hope Mike Ford and Marcos click better. Should have done it earlier.

    Opti I think Mike Ford will be great if they leave him with Ambrose. I had hoped shr would hire him and pair with Newman. Hell at this point I'd put you Opti as crew chief over Tony Gibson

    Glad to hear it Vegas. Despite your pain. I don't know a lot about who are good CCs really. Just want to hear the team work well on the scanner, and it has sounded like a dogs breakfast organizational wise a lot of the time with Parrot.

    He will be good for Ambrose if they let them stay together. He got thrown under the bus as sole reason Hamlin didn't win title a few years back. Parrot way to excitable as cc. Where as Ford level headed. I like the move as Ambrose is that teams best shot at chase next year
