NASCAR-Chicagoland-myAFIBSTORY.com-What a start to a new Chase format Brad Keslowski was the car to beat. Taking the first spot in the next segment of the Chase and winning for the second straight week. Kyle Larson made him work for the lead that lead to his win. Kyle Larson's raced hard having to start 43rd having to bring out his back up car, finishing 3rd. A few mistakes by the some chasers, Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch both spun out getting on pit road. Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch's team both has a hiccup. Aric Almirola got hit the hardest when his engine gave way with just 37 laps left and running in the 10.

NASCAR- Richmond - Federated Auto Parts 400 - Saturday night racing, love it.. Brad Keslowski and Kevin put on a great show the first half of the race, but Harvick's pit crew just couldn't get the changes right. Keslowski dominate the race leading 383 of the 400 laps, giving him his 4th win of the season and putting him at the top of the points beginning the Chase, Harvick was the only other leader. I was a little disappointed. I thought there would be more racing for the 2 positions left to get in the Chase... On to the Chase... should be interesting this year... 16 drivers racing for 12 positions in the first 3 race elimination round. Winning is everything, Win you're In...

Congratulations Brad Keslowski!!!

Love night racing!!! It was great to see Tony Stewart back in the #14. Short night for Tony, popping a tire after a little "fender bender" making the tire rub.  Lots of tire wear, quite a few victims of popped tires. Kasey Kahne gave Hendricks his 4th and final car a spot in the Chase.

Congratulations Kasey Kahne!!!
