Kathy's Pit Stop

Wow...what a wreck!

Johnson may have dominated and won the race at Dover, but all the talk is the wreck that happened on lap 31 where Logano flipped during a four car wreck.  Logano was shaken up, but he was OK and was able to walk away from the car.  I may not be a Logano fan, but I was pretty surprised with his interview after getting out of the infield care center.  He didn't point fingers at anyone or place the blame on anyone because he didn't see the replay yet, he even admitted he wasn't sure what happene.  With as shaken up as he was, he wasn't sure he wanted to see the replay yet. 

Congrats to Johnson for winning the race, Martin is still in the lead though, should be an interesting run between these two.  Also, props to Logano for how he handled everything, maybe his teammate should take some pointers from that after the way he acted after the Nationwide race.  :)

The Chase is set

First congrats to Hamlin for the win.  That was a crazy race, but then again, Richmond usually is.

The Chase is set and surprisingly Vickers is in and Busch and Kenseth are out.  Although I was hoping Vickers could make it in, I was pretty sure that Kenseth was going to keep his spot in the Chase.  Fans of them or not, Kenseth and Busch both handled themselves nicely in their interviews after the race, yes they were disappointed, but I think they both handled the interviews well.

While Mark Martin may lead the standings right now, my pick for the Championship is Tony Stewart.  Nothing against Mark or anything, but my personal favorite would be Tony.

Kahne wins Atlanta

Kasey Kahne made a pass on Kevin Harvick after the final restart, took off and won the race.  It was nice to see in Kahne get the win, although I was rooting for Harvick to make it two races won this weekend.  That wasn't meant to be when his own teammate, Clint Bowyer, spun and brought out the caution, essentially ending the chance of the win for Harvick because his car was better on the longer runs, still a second place for Harvick isn't bad considering his dismal season.

Only 1st through 4th in the standings have clinched a spot in the Chase, Stewart, Gordon, Johnson and Hamlin.  While Edwards sits in 5th, you'd think he'd be safe, but he's only 105 points ahead of Vickers in 13th, so mathematically, he's not safe.  One more race to go to decide who's in and who's out, next weekend at Richmond.  It's fairly close, Edwards (in 5th) is 105 points ahead of 13th, which isn't quite safe and on the other end you have Kenseth in 12th, only 20 points ahead of 13th.  So it looks like Richmond will be very interesting and we'll see the kind of approach these drivers make.

Congrats to Kahne on the win.
