Hello race fans! Wow, what an exciting race on Monday at Pocono Raceway! I had the opportunity to attend the race and I have to say it was one of the best races I have ever seen there. The double file restarts made for some interesting racing, especially towards the end of the race. Congratulations to the winner of the race, Denny Hamlin, he was certainly overdue. It was again, not without a little controversy. Denny got into David Reutimann with 26 laps to go which led to a crash that relegated David to a 29th place finish. Hamlin admitted he was driving a little aggressive, but said he wanted to get the positon and was driving with a lot of emotion. Denny’s grandmother had just passed away on Friday. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his entire family.

With only 5 races left before the Chase for the Sprint Cup, it looks like the top 3 drivers are pretty much locked into the Chase. The next two, Kurt Busch and Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards are close, but not comfortably in yet. From 6th on down, it’s anybody’s guess. I think it will come down to the final race at Richmond to settle the last couple of positions. These final few races before the Chase begins, should be exciting ones and I for one will be watching every one to see who makes it in and who doesn’t. I would love to hear from you fans on who you think will or won’t make it into the Chase and who you think will win the 2009 Championship.

Good luck to everyone this weekend at the Helluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen! See you at the races!
