Back to back to back wins for Joey Logano.  The number 22 Ford is/was the favorite to win the Chase this year for sure.

No one liked seeing the race end the way it end accept Joey fans, never fun to see them end under caution.  Would have been nice to see them go at it on the final lap but Kevin Harvick got what he wanted which was a caution just after the restart.

Well we might have been talking about Joey winning 4 straight races in the Chase had it not been for Matt Kenseth.  As it end Jeff Gordon got the win after a wild day in Martinsville.

I could talk for quite some time on all the drama and controversy the last 3 races have created. Nascar created this new format, 3 race knock out rounds have created these types of driver actions. Take away someone else’s chance to move on and you run the risk of getting taken out at a later day yourself. Did I agree with what Matt did at Martinsville? Probably not but I wasn’t the one that felt wronged two weeks prior at Kansas and then got wrecked at Martinsville just moments before that. So I get how Matt could be that upset, Jeff Gordon did the same thing 3 years ago in Phoenix in the Chase. Will a 1-2 race suspension stop this from happening in the future? My thought is it will only stop those drivers who are still in the Chase. For those that have been knocked out of the Chase already I don’t think a possible 2 race suspension will completely deter this behavior.

In the pool we have Momia-Mia, Suezie 13, S-M-C, Bumper-Bumper, and Forget-Me-Not.

Rounding out the top 10 we have O.S. Attack, MAC, I Can’t Drive 55, Forget-Me-Not, Wiarton Service, and PAPA BILL .

Biggest gain for the last two races goes to uncle Glen up 37 spots.

Biggest slide for the last two races goes to Johnny Rocket down 53 spots.
