Carl Edwards wins at Michigan

Carl Edwards wins his fifth race of the season. He held off series points leader Kyle Busch for the win.

As of now, Carl will start the chase in second place with 40 points. While Busch will start with 80.

I think these two drivers will be competing for the championship. They have both been the dominant teams this year.

It was also a big points day for the top 12. Jeff Gordon had a crash. Kahne blew an engine. Hamlin also blew an engine. It dropped all of these drivers in the points and moved Matt Kenseth up a few spots.

Another driver who is impressive is David Ragan. He came home in third place and moved himself within 40 points of the chase.

Who do you think will make the chase? Who do you think will miss the chase?

Tired of Kyle yet?

Kyle Busch wins the Centurion Boats at the Glenn. Sweeping the road coarse races and winning for the eighth time this season.

A lot of people don't like Kyle Busch, and I will admit it, I am one of them. But you gotta give it to this incredible driver. He is either win or wreck, balls to the wall and that is the only thing I like about him. He can win on any type of track, in any type of vehicle. He has talent. I think he will win the championship.

I wonder if he has ever thought about going to a different series of racing. I know NASCAR is the most popular series, but I wonder how well he would do in a series like Formula 1 or the IRL. Would his talent carry over to those cars and tracks?

Pocono

Carl Edwards wins at Pocono. His team took a gamble and it paid off with his fourth victory of the season. Edwards is the only Ford driver to win this year.

The race went under red flag because of a shower that came through with about 80 laps left. Edwards pitted before the rain came which gave him the advantage in the end.

The race was pretty exciting compared to last week. Probably because the tires stayed up.

The race for the chase is heating up more and more each week. Matt Kenseth is now 11 points out of the 12th spot. There are only 100 points separating 7th from 13th place. Some big name driver is going to be watching the chase from the 13th position. I think that driver may be Clint Bowyer.
