" We have here we are. Sixth now in order to get him in his ten races in the chase for the 2000 Sprint Cup Series championship. Our final short track race of 2000 and we just had a there detract we call the paper clip Martinsville Virginia. In even know guys like Tony Stewart a fourteen team -- problem went away that 42 team even -- both those teams had good solid runs. I just think when you look right now at the points standings with three races to go with a three Hendrick cars Jimmie Johnson -- the points mark Martin's second. In Jeff Gordon and at 24 car with the way those guys are running week in and week out. 150 points separate those three car drive -- hear it looks like to me that the championship more than likely is gonna come from those three guys so I guess. The moral of the story don't mess that is it looks like absolutely Rick Hendrick. We'll celebrate a championship here in 2009 as an -- regardless which one of those guys. Wins a race Tony Stewart finished in the top -- in the fourteen team. Right now he's a 192. Points but had sit in what in the points. And as I continue to play now the problem with a 119 points with four races ago. Remember the most lunch you can make up or lose in one race is a 161. Points -- now. Tony Stewart who is fourth in all the other teams behind him in the top twelve or at least one race that 48 car. In some cases there's things back there like Brian Vickers Kasey -- they're actually sit -- more than. Two races now so they're just trying to make sure that they. Fix problems for 2000 TNT go when your get a little momentum of what is 2009 season eons. You know there's a lottery game action. At Martinsville especially from the race at Lowe's one of the things I mentioned one problem until we have 42 car. Set there and lift some of the laps on Sunday in depth finish in third another top five. And remember you go back to Lowe's Motor Speedway had had a tough car there that 42 car. In had been miscue in the mishap on the restart -- mar mar when he stacked up there lot of damage to that car finish well outside the top when he. Around him on -- six races fast top five finishes. In -- six races in the chase but the problem is he's fifth in the points. 200 points behind Jimmie Johnson I just think that's going to be an awfully big mountain clan but we certainly know that that one problem and to wait Brian -- There absolutely they're they're not gonna give up on the us. Until it's all said and done and I'm sure they'd love to get a win remember they -- one of the teams that has no win here in 2000 and that. But I think the big redemption. Denny Hamlin Joe Gibbs racing in the eleven team. They get their third win of the year the -- thing about it they had a car so many races. That can contend for the million and you look at the last two races before -- let's go back to auto club speedway they sit on the pole led a bunch of laps. Just a misjudgment on Danny's car -- restart where he came down across the nose of the 42 car. Pretty much in his day you know big -- hit the inside wall there on the front stretch. Go one week later -- week before Martinsville Lowe's Motor Speedway to race on Saturday night of the Lions. Look like he also a last minute practice. On Friday there was no question eleven cars can be one of the car if you wanna have to be on Saturday night and he acted up at the drop of the green flag. In of all things an engine failure than eleven car team DNA ups and road you know what's amazing. About this this is Denise floor. Full season. Only Sprint Cup Series. He's only had eight DNA that's total in almost a 150 starts. Horribly that two -- more active back and auto club speedway in at Lowe's Motor Speedway. But they certainly redeem themselves. And showed never give up Mike -- group they had a car that was so good on home runs. In Indian gate get their third win of 2000 the most wins they've ever had. In a season and not think. The eleven team their one of those teams with where they're at the points. What the problems they had an auto club speedway and Lowe's and and not a very good run at Dover they know that their championship poster pretty much over. What they're trying to do just do exactly what they did on Sunday. He go out and try to win. More races you know that the racing at Martin's deal. Was some of the best we handed in a long long time not thinking any short track but especially at Martinsville. But this is what I continue to trying to promote. -- a lot of our fans out there I think we're having week in and weekend out. Better racing everywhere we go you look at the racing they we had at Lowe's Motor Speedway. A week and a half ago you look at the race we had at Martinsville not make it this is stimulating from several things I think one. Now that we're almost come full season in half season. With the team's working with this new car I think more teams are starting to get their arms around it more more they're learning more about what makes it clicked. And obviously I think they've accepted the fact that this car not gonna go away we matters will make the best and I think that's what's happened in a lot of cases. In and I continue to say don't -- of broken record but the double file restart shootout style on every restart. That we start way back in June with pocono. I think that is helping some of the racing and it makes me just. Excited about these last four races of 2000 and it and obviously going to hit the 2000 team and we'll start here year NASCAR own thoughts starting right there in February or think about that Valentine's Day. With the Daytona 500. You know. Talked about. -- field. And there were a lot of emotions and there are a lot of people had their feelings hurt there after that her lap race the 1 thing that I am a little discipline and have been pretty vocal about this. This week is some of our drivers some of our winning some of our championship drivers complain about -- racing too hard. Gas that's what we're supposed to be doing and that's what's gonna bringing excitement back to our sport. Yeah I don't think you just need to blatantly wrecked some one whether it's the beginning the middle of into the race. But don't complain because somebody's making -- rubbing on your rear bumper rubbing on your side. That's what short track racing is all about it and obviously if some of these guys had -- with -- Yarborough. David Pearson even Dale Earnhardt is a day. They only get your feelings hurt a lot. If roading and being a million hurts these ghastly leans against a little bit upset -- that's something these guys they -- sale. That not wrecking each other the little beaten in vain like we had at Memphis in the Nationwide Series race -- like we had Sunday at Martinsville. That's what builds excitement that but that's what makes people -- combat the race trip. Next week even though we have no more short track races of the big innings that's a one mile track and a couple weeks let them as 2000 and skating."
