Wow. Snake bitten luck for Logano. Blows a left rear in the first 10 laps that just disintegrates the fender and D pillar. Rear side window blows out. To the garage.

Goodyear shits the bed once again. Blown tires throughout the race by many drivers. Earnhardt and Harvick the latest victims; both fortunate their tire failures didn't cause body damage requiring garage repair.

Keselowski dominates, leads 312 of 334+ laps, but is passed with 4 laps to go by Johnson for the win. Even though Keselowski tried to block Johnson multiple times over numerpus laps, Johnson didn't wreck him to get by. Another driver could learn from that lol..

If we could just trade the Busch brothers, I'd be thrilled with that final four.

Yeah. Go 24. Also 78. Would be very pleased to see either win it..
-Not Harvick- if it wasn't for him intentionally causing that wreck at Dega Jr would have won, made the Round of 8, and now would be in the Final 4.
-F Kyle Busch..

Early rumor has it that Kyle Busch wins this weekend.

You're doing Pocono a disservice. Last night was terrible.

The season should end at one of:

Darlington
Atlanta
Bristol (though weather could be a problem in late Nov)
Daytona (not sold on a SS to decide it with the chance of the big one taking out contenders, but more exciting than Homestead for sure)
