After 26 races it comes down to the final 10 races to crown the Nascar 2015 Winston Cup Champ. So who gets to burn the tires off after the final race at Homestead? Will it be Johnson, Busch18, Logano, Harvick, Dale Jr, Busch41, Edwards, Keso, Truex, Hamlin, McMurray, Gordon, Newman, Menard or Bowyer? Any Chaser winning one of the three races in the Challenger round will automatically move on to the next stage. In conjunction with the Cup race, Truck and X-Men are competing as well.
From MRN, the schedule;
The Chicago entry list has 46 names. On the bubble are Kvapil, Hill and Yeley - They need to qualify on speed. In the event Q-ing is cancelled, Kvapil, Blamey and McDowell will miss the race - There might be a good chance after seeing the forecast for Friday and Saturday;
New and Notes
Unlike the Chase, all is not new again for us FLers. Make your team changes and updates before the race kicks off at 3:19 on Sunday. Good luck.

- Aarons will not be sponsoring a team next year after MWR announced the sidewalks are being rolled up.
- MWR Owner Points may be for sale as a tangible asset. Possible buyers - RCR or Penske.
- Chad Knaus and Jimmie Johnson have signed contract extensions, Knaus for 3 years and Johnson for 2 along with a piece of Hendricks auto empire. Sounds like JJ has his retirement figured out.
- Richmond inspection penalties - Three teams will be docked 15 minutes of practice time for being late to inspection. Jeb Burton is losing 30 minutes for being late to inspection, not once but twice! :nono:
- Roger Penske ain't happy with the final restart at Richmond. He's saying Nascar should have penalized race leader Kenseth foe jump the gun. Nascar pretty much said "Sit on it, Roger"
- No schedule has been announced for next year, but rumors are that Richmond's Saturday night Spring race will move to Sunday afternoon.
- TV ratings for Richmond were the second worst cable race of the year.
The FL winner at Richmond was 64osby. I mean he made mincemeat out of the rest of us. If I could, 64 would get two :first:s, one for the weekly win and one for the stomping he gave the league. Congrats!
FlaCowboy is still leading the overall, but osby moved from third to second after his convincing Richmond win. Since we're at the end of the regular season and moving on to the Playoffs, here is a list of winners through the first 26 races with all the bling.
