At the Michigan Speedway post-race presser, runner-up finisher The Kez did everything but call Hendrick Motor Sports, RCR and Roush-Fenway, a bunch of dirty cheaters.

I am stumped for a story. Is it a sign that NASCAR’s Chase to the Sprint Cup format is flawed somehow? I have read about everything written – all the possible scenarios, involving any of the Golden Twelve and Brian France’s playoffs. A lot of  it is really good. Some, not so.

I don’t feel like adding to that, either way. As I sit here waiting, but doubting, the start of the GEICO 400 and The Chase,  at soaking wet Chicagoland Speedway I wish somebody would punch someone.

It probably won’t happen here in the media center. These folks are way too civilized. Or maybe I’ve only seen them on their best behavior. I wish The Diecast Dude was here. Jeff Gluck vs The Dude – The Rematch. Damn.

Richard Childress was in here awhile ago. He mixes it up on occasion. Too bad Kyle Busch wasn’t here. Probably hiding in his hauler.

Jimmie Johnson and Kurt Busch is over. Five-Time and Four-Time haven’t had so much as a spat in months. Carl Edwards vs Matt Kenseth? Way old news.

My only hope is probably Juan Pablo. Or maybe a food fight in the media center.

Exclusive NASCAR Driver Photos of Clint Bowyer

I really thought that 2010 was going to be the year that Clint Bowyer assumed the mantle of Richard Childress Racing’s top dog. Bowyer had a very good year, made the Chase to the Cup, then got sucked into the big points penalty following his Chase opening win at Loudon. We got some nice pictures of Clint in 2010. Check ‘em out.

Exclusive NASCAR Driver Photos: Carl Edwards 2010

2010 was not a Ford year in the Sprint Cup Series. Roush Racing, Richard Petty Motorsports and others never put together anything threatening to the Hendick Motorsports – RCR Chevies or the Joe Gibbs Toyotas. But three Roush Fords made the 2010 Chase to the Sprint Cup and Carl Edwards finished strong enough to earn Charlie’s early 2011 Sprint Cup champ call. Here are some of my favorite 2010 photos of Carl Edwards.

NASCAR held a 4-way shootout with five races to go. When the smoke cleared, three Sprint Cup contenders stay standing. And they are closer than I thought they’d be.

Denny Hamlin did what he had to do. He was the favorite to win at venerable Martinsville. Hamlin won the pole and almost immediately went backwards from the race start. But the Joe Gibbs Racing #11 team kept their composure and clawed back to the front, actually driving away from his two chief tormentors at the end. Pressure performance.

Hamlin yelled “Who said it was over? I told you it wasn’t over!” after the race. And indeed it – The Chase to the Sprint Cup – is not over.

But there are no more short tracks, no more races in Virginia, in 2010. It gets tougher.

Kevin Harvick and the RCR #29, with pinch hit pit crew in place, didn’t get the win, but did finish third and two spots ahead of the points leader, Jimmie Johnson. Harvick gained points on Johnson and had his best career finish on a track where he has been weak before. Clutch. Very clutch.

The biggest loser was probably Jeff Gordon. Gordon looked strong early, on a track where we expected strength, but he faded to finish 20th and probably killed his 2010 drive for a fifth Cup title.

Johnson remains in front, but the lead is single digits over Hamlin, and Harvick is only 68 points back, with the wildcard at Talladega next up.

Harvick was the spring ‘Dega winner and is a top plate track racer.

It’s down to three with four to go. Like it.
