NASCAR Chase: Texas

Johnson 61%
Hamlin 37%
Harvick 2%

Yesterday's race was fascinating. Kyle Busch got in trouble for flipping off a NASCAR official, Burton and Gordon got into a fight after Burton wrecked Gordon during a caution lap. Knaus, Johnson's crew chief, got so fed up with the pit crew that he replaced them with Gordon's pit crew. I don't think that has ever happened before.

In terms of the Chase, Hamlin won the race and is now the points leader. I still have him as the underdog as Johnson has a better record. However, if Johnson isn't able to close the points gap after the next race, Hamlin will have the advantage. Harvick is still hanging in there, but he's going to have to pull off a major upset next week if he's going to have a chance for the Championship.
