Well the night race at Bristol was last night and it was as great of a race as I had expected it to be...though for this Jeff Gordon fan, was kinda disappointing. Ryan Newman earned the pole and led the first four laps before getting passed. Matt Kenseth led a lot of laps...but Jeff Gordon led the most laps with leading 206 laps out of the entire five hundred lap race. In my opinion, his pit crew kinda was lacking something. Everytime he went into pit road, Matt Kenseth came out first and Gordon had to pass him again on the track. Except when they made their final pit stop with eighty to go when he got back out on the track sixth to lose five positions! Brad Keselowski and Martin Truex Jr took two tires instead of four as Gordon and other cars took four. After winning the past three out of five races at Bristol, Kyle Busch had a rough night when with seventy or so laps to go he got smushed in between two cars. He came home fourteenth. Mark Martin tried to get in between Brian Vickers and Bobby or Terry Labonte but there wasn't enough room and he got sent into the wall and out of the race. David Stremme and another car got into and got a chain reaction when Denny Hamlin and Paul Menard hit each other. Menard came home thirtieth while Hamlin finished seventh...both are fighting to get into the chase that will start in three weeks. Few guys who needed to have good races for the chase had bad races last night. Tony Stewart who had a horrible qualifying and started as the last car on the track finished three laps down. Kevin Harvick was a lap down, but he is pretty good in the top ten. Clint Bowyer had a poor race as well. Greg Biffle had his tire go flat under green and during the next caution pit stop, he got caught speeding in pits and he finished a couple or so laps down. Brad Keselowski held on to win the race. Making him the hottest driver of August after winning twice and having a couple of top tens or something like that. Gordon went on and fought his way to finish third which is a pretty good finishing spot. One I should be happy with. But knowing that he should have had the win if his pit crew had been has good as other's has been. Here is the top ten finishing spots: 1. Brad Keselwoski 2. Martin Truex Jr 3. Jeff Gordon 4. Jimmie Johnson 5. Jamie McMurray 6. Matt Kenseth 7. Denny Hamlin 8. Ryan Newman 9. Carl Edwards 10. Marcos Ambrose We have two more races until the chase starts at Chicagoland...Atlanta next Sunday night and then Richmond. So far, Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson are locked into the chase. Right now, doesn't look like I'll be able to be watching the Atlanta race next week due to going to go see Marty Stuart with my family. Hopefully will be reading up on and posting what I read...Still hate misisng any races. Atlanta is always a good race!
