11. Kasey Kahne 694

As of today, the final Wild Card Spot is up for grabs by...

Carl Edwards- 12th place in points no win
Ryan Newman- 13th in points one win (Go Newman, go!)
Kyle Busch- 14th in points one win

Drivers up for NO. 1 spot once Chase begins (3 wins each)...

Jimmie Johnson
Brad Keselowski
Tony Stewart

I do not want JJ or Keselowski winning a fourth race for obvious reasons.

Thanks for the info. I'm rooting for Tony, too.

And RJ, I won't believe that you've watched a race unless I see you watching in person!

[Cayla]

It would be nice to have a Chase without Edwards, Busch, and Gordon. I heard a rumor about Gordon was wanting to drive part time next year...

Also, Joe Gibbs Racing signed Hamlin, Logano, and Kenseth. The rumor is Kyle Busch will be looking for a new ride!

Stewart-Haas news....Newman's contract is up. With the Army pulling out as sponsorship, there is a question whether or not Newman can stay.

And RJ, I won't believe that you've watched a race unless I see you watching in person!

It could happen. Or maybe I'll get a webcam.

[jgc]

We'll work it out.

[Cayla]

The race is on tomorrow evening instead of Sunday.

[jgc]

I'll put it in my Outlook calendar.

[RJDiogenes]

Uh oh. I sense a scheduling conflict.

[jgc]

Yes, me too. But I can keep an eye on both - mostly the movie and check the race during commercials.

[RJDiogenes]

Ah, cool.

[jgc]

I know you probably won't check in again before the race, but Danica is racing tonight.

[RJDiogenes]

Good thing I decided to peek in. I'll see if I can see her.

[jgc]

So, I was watching the movie and flicked back to the race just in time to see Tony throw his helmet at Kenseth. I didn't see what happened to precipitate that, just the result. Tony was very angry!

[Cayla]

It was Tony fault. He tried to pass Kenseth for first, got too aggressive. Temper, temper, temper.
