Race Over : ( Kyle Busch Won

He has talent, luck and the team...He's not my favorite driver 4 Sure. But he can `drive...
Happy that Joey came in 10th and I still hope he makes the chase...
Ryan Newman & Mark Martin let me down...Mark is driving like he's on a Sunday Ride and not aggressive @ `all...

Thanks Brent & Chris for your posts....& Brent (U did Good)
