" Willis six races to go into the chase but at pocono this week. In I'm beginning to look at the top twenty you know Greg Biffle the tough finish catapulted back in the top -- But when -- look at the top twelve rotten and a six races ago and that's a lot of racing. Almost feel like that that possibly might end up being our top twelve guys but when you look just outside the -- where -- David Bruton. He 668. Points outside the top -- In who would ever believe that team that -- they won eight races in the first 26 races last year 2008. Just dominated the first part of the season last year with eight millions. It now after another problem at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Countless Joe Gibbs racing eighteen team they are sitting 1482. Points. Out of the top whale and and Brian Vickers may -- that only viable player still hanging in there and a great writing and he finished it. He sit in 1520. Lance. Outside -- you know but I know everybody's asking and I'm sure they're asking themselves what has happened this eighteen thing. Yeah they won three races. In the first eight races of 28 or nine races of 2000 and but since -- Richmond. The last two races since Richmond they only had two top ten finishes and they are now only outs I'd look -- instantly -- After rolled her sleeves up and -- working back to the floor and they were in this 2000 NC has started. Or where they've worked for most of 2008. When you look at how rotten on the Nationwide Series I think the last eight races he said. All top ten finishes any second to Carl Edwards or any there on Saturday night in Indianapolis. But -- any one thing alone. Go back and talk about a -- is because I'll probably win the and one the gas that's been beaten him up -- guy's attitude in Hawaii. He approaches the media in the way he has and you try to you argument that it wins -- race. I was so impressed. Within interviewed Marty Smith is the and it -- and Indianapolis this past week. And nothing countless finally start seeing the -- he was very honest and open he said he needs to do a better job. In his approach ability from the media that they and he said the one thing. There aggravation. Is the questions that the media asking -- concede that certainly be a problem because I don't know when I was a crew chief. When they asked me gets no better way to put it don't stupid questions and our sports. But the thing constant that he needs to do a better job that is being a good leader is racing especially when things are not good. Rally the troops when they need rally and and not beaten him upside yes. Very impressed with the interview we'll just the other future goes but the biggest thing that I guess six races to get themselves back in the top -- The last point illuminate Alou brickyard 400 and that was motor speedway. Is weaving going here since 1994. And we know. That that place holds about a quarter million people there's no question as the cameras opinion around that racetrack Sunday they were a lot of -- DC but. I continue to won't be optimists type of person. They're Steele was roughly over 175000. People there. So I continue to look at our last -- school when you look at the way our economy is right now. In how -- millions for so many people. To have over 170000. People in a sporting team needs -- supporting -- one of the day one race as we get on Sunday. I think that's feels as an awful lot about NASCAR racing you guys name me I'm not NASCAR champion and our country. From January to December. Where we have over 170000. People think that they can't would be very -- you know last week one thing. That talked about. -- how so many of our drivers over the age of fifty or relations and we we talk about more more movement is full millions. In 2000 and of course winning Chicago against the white finished in second in Indianapolis to his teammate Jimmie Johnson this past week. He is now back very solid. In the top twelve -- settled -- This past week Indianapolis Motor Speedway Jimmie Johnson his teammate in big feelings that may and gallery and me are you never have to question. There's more -- you haven't seen. Also talked last week about -- McGriff. Three over three times eight of a lot of gas he was racing incident NASCAR camping -- where a series race. Last week in in California finished thirteenth. But I think one guy that I forgot to mention and that's reasonable bringing back this week half out in the NASCAR Camping World trucks series. Ron Hornaday will over fifty years he's a grand -- and he is sitting here that there with four consecutive millions including the win. Friday night or the Indianapolis. Synonym record no one in NASCAR Camping World truck series has ever won four consecutive races. In not only has he done and then he's also will help out in front of the closely in the guy that finished second to. Who was second in the points Mike Skinner he's over fifty years those I think this is such an awesome story. When I look at some of our top series where we had these guys that are -- you're older it's pretty much a few months in the young the I think it's great to see."
" Fantasy football. It's bound to change."
