And just like that, the defending champ advances

I can see Harvick winning one of the next 3 and then one of the next 3 after that.

If Gordon gets past this next round, he might sneak into homestead.

He'll need a win in the semis, if me makes it past this round.

But Gordon is done. He put everything into last season and came up short.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Not certain I did enough to avoid elimination this weekend. A lot of people did pick Jimmie though.

 

[YankeeVol]

Well that was rough.

 

[Crew]

I can't wait until the season is over. This aero package is balls.

What legit sport allows a team to play for a championship who didn't win a single event?

nonehmy: Dominate the whole year and have 1 bad finish and you are done, just don't seem fair to the Driver's that ran good all year and then in the end don't even have a chance to compete for the championship.

Looks like an old DEI paint scheme with the lines running down the side!

Still hoping they somehow work a deal with Petty for the #9 before Daytona!

But your right about something not looking right his Xfinity and the limited Cup scheme have been better! IMO

Monster making the jump. Good looking car

 

[doozer]

That's pretty sweet. Good for him.

I don't circle many races these days as can't miss, but this is one of them. Not really a prediction, but I wouldn't be surprised if the 24 lays back to start, and is pushed by the 48 at the end.

Can't lay back.. you have to stay up front! If you lay back, you'll get stuck at the end.

I think with the 24 on the pole, he'll stay up front as long as he can, but if he gets shuffled, then yes, I'd expect him to ride in the back for a while.

 

[gordonr24]

I know that a lot of people don't like Talladega, but it is a good elimination track in the new chase format. It makes for some exciting desperate finishes.

I would like to see him win it.:rock:

I bet there will be 3 wreck's in the last 20 lap's any body won't to bet a quarter on that.

 

[gordonr24]

Now, it's 4 Hendrick cars running 1-4 at the front.

Think Logano and Kenseth tangle and cause the big one?

 

[YankeeVol]

Hamlins got a problem on his roof

 

[YankeeVol]

And has to pit. Looking like he may not advance

 

[gordonr24]

And has to pit. Looking like he may not advance

It'll put him right on the border. It all depends on how the other guys finish too.

33 cars on the lead lap right now. Not looking too good

It's 29 now. This caution free race has led to many guys losing the draft on pit stops and getting lapped, including contenders.
