Nascar Race #35 - "I Will Hit Him On Purpose If I Can Get To Homestead" 500 - Phoenix
This is the last culling of drivers to run for the Chase Championship at Homestead. Only Jeff Gordon has a seat so far with non-Chaser JJ winning last week in Texas. Since I steal from Jayski's all year long, one more time won't hurt. Jayski's Chase scenario;
Phoenix has a full slate this weekend. K&N Pro Series West, Trucks, X-Men and of course, Cup. MRN's schedule;
The entry list is at 43 for the Cup race, so everybody gets to stick around. Erik Jones is going for the trifecta, driving for the Truck Championship as the points leader, Playing X-Man and filling for Kenseth in the #20. Jones did a good job in the Cup race last week, he finished 12th after starting in the 6th position and didn't get into any trouble.
How about some good weather news? Sunny and clear all weekend - That's a nice change with no threat of rain.

#24-Jeff Gordon has already clinched a spot in the Championship 4, regardless of the finish of any other driver...
#18-Kyle Busch will clinch with a finish of 3rd or better; 4th and at least one lap led; or 5th and most laps led.
#4-Kevin Harvick will clinch with a finish of 2nd or better; 3rd and at least one lap led; or 4th and most laps led.
#78-Martin Truex Jr., #19-Carl Edwards, #2-Brad Keselowski, #41-Kurt Busch and #22-Joey Logano only control their own destiny with a victory. Logano can ONLY make it to the Championship Round with a win at Phoenix.
Those seven drivers have their backs are against the wall to make the final cut. This should be a take no prisoners race.#18-Kyle Busch will clinch with a finish of 3rd or better; 4th and at least one lap led; or 5th and most laps led.

- PIR has been renamed for this race. In honor of Jeff Gordon's pending retirement, it will be named Jeff Gordon Raceway for his last race on the track.
- Penalties - Several drivers got warnings foe inspection troubles at Texas. Dale Jr. lost pit stall selection because of getting his 4th warning, he's back to zero. A couple others got warnings as well.
- Non-Penalties.- Three of the Gibbs cars had splitters confiscated because the test gauge didn't fit. It seems a resin build-up was used to change the shape of the splitter causing the go/no-go test fixture to say no-go. Somehow the three avoided any penalty. Once again, Nascar confuses me! Get caught redhanded and not even a slap on the wrist!
- TV ratings - With the return to broadcast TV, the ratings increased, even over last year on ESPN. Not great, but better than the continued decline FS1 and NBCSN demonstrated all season long.

It took an extra couple of weeks, but QC finally won his Birthday Race. Belated Birthday cards are always the best. :smile: He got his 5th :first: Congrats, QC.
In the overall chase, FlaCowboy still leads the way. With a good, strong Texas finish, his lead is now 469 points. GULP!
This the penultimate chance to chew into FlaCowboy's overall lead - It's still less than 500 points. :sour: Either 64osby or aspeck can catch the Bronco Buster in these final two races. :hopelessness: :concern::help: Maybe.In the overall chase, FlaCowboy still leads the way. With a good, strong Texas finish, his lead is now 469 points. GULP!
