Stewart wins again
Tony Stewart scored his second consecutive win, it was also his third win in The Chase. I bet the other drivers are happy that Stewart didn't make it in the Chase field. He's definitely got eleventh place and the bonus sewed up.
It also looks like there will be penalties handed down for the post-race incident between Riggs' crew member and Kevin and DeLana Harvick. The incident took place because the crew member was mad about the accident on 331 that put Riggs out of the race.
At first I thought Harvick bumped Riggs out of the way while they were racing for position, but other angles showed that Harvick got Riggs loose, which caused him to spin.
Either way, it was understandable for Riggs' crew member to be upset, but what wasn't ok was what he did, shoving them to the ground. The incident also injured an official too.
The other big news was Johnson taking over the points lead. He now leads Kenseth by 17 points. While that doesn't seem like a lot with two races to go, I think barring any problems of the #48, Johnson will beat Kenseth out for the championship.
Your thoughts?

I didn't catch Riggs comments after the race, but I would hope they were a lot more classy than that of the #10 crew member that attacked Harvick and his wife.
I still think the Kenseth will win the Cup and Johnson will be a bridesmaid again.
