" Well who would ever believe that after 26 races in 2009. NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season seven months -- racing. It would come down as we anticipating going into Richmond last week it would come down. Not the last race of this 26 race race of the chase. But the last corners of the last laugh you would think that much racing. -- had a top twelve blocking and several months ago several weeks ago but not the case with the way the competition is in his sport today. It came down those last few laughs with a car that was run seven. Our car that was running the only two positions between Brian Vickers and Kyle Busch. It definitely Kyle -- was in the top the eighteen car that's the two cars of course the world outside. Looking coming into Richmond and Brian Vickers was back there and very heated battle. In the last few -- laughed with Sam hornish and with Kevin Harvick. Hey Kyle Busch maintained that tough finish as he did finish in fifth. And Brian Vickers got past Kevin Harvick and Sam hornish. There's a good chance we will be talking -- Kyle Busch in the eighteen team. Beat in the chase and Brian Vickers -- oh so close but it was a it was an also battle Arnott along and you know Richmond Virginian. We only have three short tracks left on the entire circuit. But I couldn't think of a better place under the lights Saturday night. Did -- in this race to the chase determine our top twelve drivers. -- their little three quarter mile short track and Richmond Virginia -- the perfectly racetrack it's perfectly right with former laughs. And I think even though we had a few empty seats we had well over a 110000. People there and I think those last few laughs. I don't think you know we're sitting down really didn't need seats. And one thing they work cheered for us up from who the stuff we're we're going to be is the hometown hero Danny Hamlin in his fourth full time season. On the Sprint Cup Series schedule trying to win there this is a racetrack it not that many years ago. Denny Hamlin and his family. Had grandstand tickets and we're sitting in the stands watching the races. In east comes oh so close and go back to the spring race of 2008. -- pole and -- over 380. Laps of that one lap race flat -- and -- great late in the race. Yeah it was pretty much stole away from him but he did not give any things don't -- away from you know. On Saturday night he pretty much -- everything away from everybody else it would interest single out. -- Hamlin Mike Ford eleven team is that our top ten finish at Atlanta. They were actually locked into the top Wales and I think talk Mangini after the race. There was a huge debate between he and -- for how we treat it short track races Richmond the 26 races for locking in. We treated as a La race that we go to -- trying to get the win. Or do we just kind of -- they're trying to hit this race and get our guys mentally physically and all of our equipment prepared for these can change races. And I think finally earlier in the week. Mike for Denny Hamlin did not only included you know what we need to go there -- our best blitz and all of our blitz slowed him again. They went up there qualifier and tough. -- well over 200 laps in ended up getting their second brilliant 2000 and he Hamlin said that they just felt like. -- a good run at Richmond. Maybe not even thinking about -- just good solid run. Would do more for them eating into the chase in here and momentum in the chase. It just going to Richmond kind of get into it in in trying to get ready for the tenth straight races."
