" We know we're actually. Officially two thirds of the way through this 2000 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. An hour glass and we think about the chase. They're getting fewer and smaller -- now only two races in do we sit at Chase Field of twelve teams twelve Roberts. It will battle it out those final ten races for the championship. In just as we expected. For short track race in about three months Bristol Motor Speedway last Saturday night. Not only did it really shake the points but boy did -- effort -- in the points. Now that we have two races to go before the chase we actually. -- medically we have three teams that are locked into the chase no matter what happens he's -- two races. They cannot be enough -- Tony Stewart the fourteen team. They've been locked in now for a week or two. And and after Bristol Saturday night on -- short track race Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson even though Jeff Gordon didn't have that great -- run. He has lost in the chase -- or 2000 that the teams that are seven. Than Quayle and even the next two teams which is Kyle Busch the eighteen team who won Bristol Motor Speedway in Brian Vickers 83 team. When you look at those finger -- that. Eight teams they are separated. Only eighty -- and points. And we look back at Bristol those eighteen months six of those eight teams finished in the top twelve and that's what makes itself tough. The only two teams of the group that did not have great runs are great finishes at Bristol Motor Speedway. Kasey Kahne in nineteen they're still in the top whale. But they somewhat -- both days up there Bristol Motor Speedway and it just never could get their arms around that short track. Now -- only into the various Somalia. And I'm going to make a little bit of prediction you know when -- make your prediction. -- I can base at all. Is the fact that half teams are running right now may be some momentum that they have like the eighteenth Serena wins Saturday night. And it may even look back at these two races. How they ran in the spring because we -- run Atlanta in we did -- Richmond back in the spring. Not for Dick Cheney is. The eighteen thing how bush in the 83 team Brian Vickers or -- that those two teams. They will get the checks okay I'm sure your next question okay. Who are they going to replace will. Honestly probably the two teams that are eleventh and twelfth -- I just don't have a good feeling about those two teams -- in. I mentioned -- Kasey Kahne and nine car the other team that I'm just don't have a good thing about it this is a driver. That other than Jimmy Johnson he's the only driver has made the chase I'll years. And that's Matt Kenseth and seventeenth inning once again this really inconsistent Underwood sings like every week. When we look at the box scores and look at the finish or their race. We see the seventeenth green somewhere there inside the top fifteen but they just don't seem to feel really click on those top the audience. And and look at Atlanta and Richmond. The 83 team in the eighteen team. I think he'll be pretty solid there. Obviously the eighteen team they won the spring Richmond race in and look look at the Atlanta race Brian Vickers the 83 car. Had not been for a late race caution it looks like that he was actually run to Clark on the into the win the race came home. With a top but as we well know spastic demolish half two mile race tracks. Like Atlanta Motor Speedway. Where we go -- than 83 team and Brian Vickers they're fans especially those type tracks."
