From the longest track to the shortest track in the space of a week. 'Dega to Martinsville. This will test the mettle of the Chasers, except for JJ, Dale Jr., Kasey and the Twerp. Those four are no longer chasing the Championship after failing to advance out of the Contender round. They can still still be a factor in this race. In the driver ratings system for Matinsville, JJ is the top ranked, with Jr. and Shrubby in the top ten. Gordon is the top Chaser, followed by Hamlin, for what it's worth.
There are 43 entrants for the 43 starting positions, so all will be starting on Sunday. The Trucks are also running at Martinsville, but no Nationwide. N-Wide returns to action at Texas. Here is the weekend schedule for race 1 of the Eliminator round, courtesy of MRN.

- Getting the important stuff out of the way - Michael Waltrip is still Dancing With The Stars. :doh:
- After failing post-race inspection, which might have impacted his Chase advancement, Newman and crew were cleared. His car was low on both rear corners, but Nascar ruled it was caused by race contact damage.
- Crew changes at SHR. After this week's race, Danica and Kurt Busch will swap crew chiefs and road crews, beginning at Texas. The over the wall crews will not be swapped. SHR did something similar prior to the Chase kick-off, with Stewart and Harvick doing some major crew realignment.
- Speaking of Kurt Busch, he will take part in the Race Of Champions at the Bushy (???) Park Circuit in Barbados in December. Tean USA last won the ROC in 2002, when JJ and Gordon anchored the team.
- The Dirt - Last week Danica was ticked at Logano after he clipped the #10 and ruined her weekend. She was cleared to seek revenge by her team, but declined because Joey was already guaranteed a spot in the Eliminator round. Logano talked with her and says the hatchet has been buried and the incident is in the past. As of this writing there has been no response from Danica and she may do the hatchet burying at Martinsville. Watch out Joey.

64osby had another good week on the track. He is cruising on top of the overall standings. The situation is beginning to look dire for FlaCowboy. I had a good race week and took home the iron. :first:
