With only three races to go in the Race To The Chase or whatever they call it now, it's time for the final Bristol race of the season. And it's a full plate with four series competing starting on Wednesday - So an early kick-off post. Here's a cut/paste of the weekend schedule, I'm lazy today;
All night races, so we'll have the transition from early dusk to dark and all the pit stop changes to the set-ups. 12 drivers are locked into the Chase and still 4 open spots. The Biff is on the bubble in 16th place. Seeing that Newman is in 14th place with no wins, I can see why he wasn't happy with JJ since is locked in.

Following the race on Sunday, Nascar held a testing session on Monday at Michigan for possible 2015 rules changes. Among the tested changes are the use of dive planes, a 9-inch spoiler, six-percent rear differential gear ratio, three different power levels (engine horsepower) as well as a driver adjustable track bar. Dive planes are small strips on the left and right side of the front bumper areas about halfway between the splitter and hood. The driver adjustable track bar is an interesting possibility. Most open wheel cars have some sort of driver controlled suspension, so is Nascar moving out of the 1940's?
Rumor confirmed - Carl Edwards is moving to Gibbs. Subway is moving with Edwards.
Tony Stewart is listed on the entry list, but who knows?
In Fantasy Live, 640sby increased his overall lead ahead of FlaCowboy by winning the week after making some shrewd driver changes. Congrats, 64.
That about does it for an early race kick-off. Remember the Cup race is Saturday, so don't wait 'til Sunday morning to make changes. Come to think about it, I think 64 did that early in the season and still took the week. :mad2::lol:
