Wake up!  It isn’t Auto Club Speedway’s fault that Jimmy Johnson had everybody covered for the last Labor Day race at Fontana.  It was Johnson’s turn to be the Superman of the super speedways as he totally dominated the 500 mile  in the fruitlands.

Carl Edwards had nothing for J J.  Neither did Busch the Younger.  And Kyle and Carl kept their tempers this time, perhaps waiting for a track with more of a door banging nature to wreak more havoc upon each other.  Maybe they’re hoping for plausible deniability.  Or perhaps the vaunted vengence that  everyone expects was really squelched by NASCAR’s probation.  I doubt it though.

Richmond is next.  And Richmond is the last chance for a select few drivers to lock in their opportunity to win the 2008 Sprint Cup.  This weeks Fast Lap questions have a Chase flavor of their own.  Can you qualify?

1:  Is Dodge in trouble if Kasey Kahne fails to make the Chase, which would mean no Dodges qualify for NASCAR’s playoff’s?

2:  Will next years Chase be better for the replacement on the schedule of Atlanta Motor Speedway with Auto Club Speedway at Fontana?

3:  Is Felix Sabates right?  Have we seen the best of Reed Sorenson?

4:  Who’s in and who’s out?  Give me your twelve qualifiers for the Chase?

Remember, your Fast Lap answers are limited to 100 words or less.  But come on back and bang fenders with your fellow Fast Lappers.  Throw some debris on the track.  Bench Race a bit.  We want to have a reason to put someone on probation too dammit!

    1– Dodge has to be wondering what’s going on. Without at least one car in the Chase, the publicity that surrounds each team will be missing. No team pub equals no manufacturer pub which means Dodge will become the lost child of 2008.

    2– Lets see here–we take the fastest track on the circuit and remove it from the Chase. Replace it with the most boring and non-attended race on the circuit. No brain surgery needed here–except a lobotomy for whomever made this decision. Sheesh.

    3– The guy that gets the bottom of the barrel at one race team is going to get the bottom of the barrel at another team. How is anything going to change for this driver? It won’t. If you want to see if Reed has anything–he has to have top notch stuff and he ain’t gonna get it in this deal.

    4– Kahne and Ragan in–Jeffy and Clint out. That is what I thought then. Well looking back–was I ever way off.

Got something to say?
