This and that.

So it was a nice long break from the norm for the last few weeks, but i was glad to see the boys get back to racing. Martinsville, as always, was a great race. Congrats to Jamie McMurray on is 8th place finish, he needed a good finish to avoid the void. He is also racing for a spot next year in the Roush Fenway stable. He better bring his A game if he wants to stay in his current ride, because i can pretty safely say that Kenseth, Biffle, And Edwards will be back next year. This leaves Jamie in direct competition with David Regan for that 4th ride. Jamie is now in 30th in the points standings so he can breath a little easier during his qualifying run this week at Texas.

Denny Hamlin is showing us all that he can win in other states besides Pennsylvania. Denny was not the car to beat on sunday, but led the one lap that matters the most.

The 48 is looking like they are back on track and in championship form. JJ is now 12th in the standings, expect him to move up from there.

So i am going out on a limb here and am calling for the 88 team to find their way back to victory lane. Jr has looked solid all year and is poised for a great starting position in the chase, but you know he just wants that win so bad. Dale is a smart dude and keeps his sights on the big picture, his patience pays off this weekend.

I would also like to wish Goodyear good luck this weekend. The tire manufacturer is on the hot seat ever since the Atlanta race, where Tony Stewart publicly pimp smacked them in his post race interview.
