Drivers are Chasing everywhere this weekend. Cup Chase race #2 and Truck Chase race #1 plays out at New Hampshire, while the 1st X-Chase race is at the VisitMyrtleBeach.com 300 in a night race at Kentucky.
All three series have increased scrutiny after the SNAFU at Chicago with the Cup race winner failing the post-race inspection and facing the possibility of not using the win for automatic advancement to the 2nd Chase round. X-Men and Trucks also have higher inspection standards for their Chases.
The Cup/Truck schedule and X-Schedule from MRN;
Weather for both tracks seems OK with a little chance of precip at New Hampshire tomorrow.

- Well I think Nascar stepped in it with the Laser Inspection rules for the Chase. The LIS post-race testing validity is being called into question and even as far as some saying it has no repeatability in that a car could be rolled through inspection 4 times with 4 different results. Another question arises - If the lasers are so good, why are only the top 5 and select others laser inspected? Every car should go to the LIS after the race or none. The tolerances are so minute that almost any bump could render a legal car as illegal. Truex said he was bumped by another car, which caused the failure. :noidea:
- In light of the questions, Nascar announced no penalties to Truex or Johnson. Both failed the post-race LIS and Nascar wiping the egg off their face with the announcement that the winner of the first Chase race failed post-race inspection. They seem to forget that Truex also failed the week before.
- Watch the cars after the checkered flag falls. Most cars are swerving like they do when warming tires before any green flag. It's being said that they are trying to bump the rear skew back into line to make it through the Lasers. Something is wrong. Way wrong!
- Other penalties - 2 for missing lugnuts and 7 others for pre-race inspection fails.
- TV Ratings - Tied with Richmond last week for the lowest of the season. Is the luster gone?
