Well, Kasey missed out on the Chase, but when circumstances hit you like that, you can only go for the ride. Bowyer deserved that 12th spot and honestly, I am not disappointed. Sure, things could've been better for Kahne and GEM, but this has been a year of big improvements. There is still consistency issues, but Kahne is a top-10 contender again and Sadler is turning into a top-15 runner.

Congrats to the winner and the Chasers.

I guess it's a good thing I decided to sleep through the whole thing ... cause I couldn't handle the whole "bubble boy" stuff in years past ...

GEM was doing a lot better when they were working WITH Robby & Petty ... But, now that they've got "legal issues" around them, all 3 companies are struggling ...

But, I'll say that Karma bit GEM in the hiney cause they decided to screw over Patrick by hiring that idiot Reed ...

GEM needs to drop the lawsuit and just work together with Robby & Petty as 3 Dodge teams trying to beat the evil toyoties ...

So here's the Chase drivers:

Joe Gibbs Toyota: Kyle Busch, Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin
Hendrick Chevrolet: Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Childress Chevrolet: Clint Bowyer, Jeff Burton, Kevin Harvick
Roush Ford: Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth

No Dodges. :(

Yet the top-5 or whatever Dodges are going to be in the Bud Shootout next Feb.

Sorry for the off-topicness, just pointing out the general stupidity of it.

What is the address that you go to that has the live online stream of the race? I have watched the last 2 races on ESPN360.com but I don't believe it will work tomorrow because I haven't seen it advertised on the ESPN360 site. I know someone mentioned seeing the stream on Windows Media Player.... ?? I don't have cable so a live stream is the only way I can "see" the race unless I listen to it on the radio. Thanks and go David Reutimann and Mark Martin.

BTW I think ESPN360 will be showing it so I'm good now. Go Reuti and Mark Martin!!

Best of luck to everyon's favorite drivers today!!!

Gotta say, despite all my Chase-hate rants, that today's race was surprisingly entertaining. The last few laps with Tony trying as hard as he could to defeat Jiminy was classic, clean racing. Just wish the broadcast were more about the race and less about the Chase. And get rid of the creepy guy in the virtual garage. And fire about ten of the umpteen reporters...
