Kasey Kahne’s checklist had three things on it. 1. Lead a lap 2. Lead the most laps 3. Lead the last lap One by one he completed these goals to poise himself for a real chance at getting into the chase. His performance at RIR has a few of the 6-10 guys worried. Reed Sorenson got some top notch TV time for Target. I was ready to run out and buy a red blender in the middle of the night. If you can’t beat them, at least get your sponsor on the tube. As predicted over on ChikcsView, Jeff Burton is backing out and Kasey’s moving in. Don’t want to see Jeff out; I’m a VA boy myself. Only 300 miles under the lights in Richmond will tell the story. Tony Stewart and crew once again could not get the Home Depot car up front. Sure he got another top 10, but he never was a threat to win, nor did he pick up any bonus points. I’m hoping he’s saving something up for the chase. Still in 8th, and we really like Richmond. I feel pretty good about getting in, and Tony really comes on at the end of the season. Dodge is still running ads with Jeremy Mayfield in them. Someone get them a computer with Jayski’s website on it. 9 laps was the magic number this race for Robby Gordon to run out of talent. His cut tire was surely the result of contact with another car. He finished dead last.
