Matt and Kyle Master Miracle Mile

Matt Kenesth held off his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch, to win the Sylvania 300 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. So far Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch have dominated the Chase by placing first and second in the first two races of the Chase. I think the championship will come down to three drivers, Kenseth, Kyle Busch, or Jimmie Johnson. For winning the race, Matt received this 22 pound lobster as his trophy. That's great for Matt but really sucks for the lobster.

 
This week the Chase moves down the road a bit to another 1 mile track, the Monster Mile at Dover, Delaware on Sunday at 1 P.M. When considering your picks for Dover, remember that Bristol is sometimes referred to as a "mini Dover" due to the fact that both tracks are steeply banked. While not always the case, usually good at one means good at the other. I will need your picks by 2 P.M. on Friday.

Here are the results from the week and the updated standings.

Their are rumors starting to surface that NASCAR may tweak the schedule for next year. They are considering taking the Chase race away from Dover and moving it to the road course at Sonoma. They may move the season ending race from Homestead to Phoenix. Basically just flip flopping those two Chase races. The Southern 500 at Darlington may be moved to Mother's Day weekend. NASCAR is also considering adding a new track to the circuit. They are thinking of going to the road course in Wisconsin. The Truck and the Nationwide series' already race there. That would mean that their would be three road course races next year. None of this is official but the announcement could come as early as this weekend at Dover.

Now for the song of the week This song was rather challenging because it has several verses but never fear, I was up to the challenge.
