The final race in the first round of the Chase and only 12 go on to the Contender round, where just like the Challenger round, four more drivers are cut. Keso and now Logano are the first two into the Contender round and 10 more will join them. Right now the edge seems to go to Team Penske, but anything can happen between now and the finale Homestead. Hamlin took a big points hit with all his woes on Sunday and apparently his frustration boiled over when he vented to his crew chief. Also Gordon lost points with the late race wall crunch, but no where as bad as Hamlin.
Here is the weekend schedule for all three series. Cup and Nationwide are at the Monster Mile in Dover and Trucks are gambling for a win in Vegas.

News- First thing, as some of you may have read, Tony Stewart was no-billed by the Grand Jury, in effect no further charges. The fact that Ward's autopsy found evidence of marijauna use was probably the mitigating factor, in my opinion. Smoke's legal trouble may not be over. The Ward Family has indicated civil action against Stewart may be in the offing.
- Nascar has announced rules changes for next year starting with Daytona. Some of them are;
Horsepower reduction
Roller cams
Spoiler height cut down to 6 inches
No team testing. Only teams invited to Nascar/Godyear are allowed to participate. No testing at Daytona prior to the 500 as before. Severe penalties for teams caught testing privately.
Optional driver adjustable track bar - I wonder who won't use this option?
Racing in the rain at road courses. It's about time
