Your Welcome
Glad I could be of help.
Jeff is out of the Championship.
It’s:
Hamlin
Logano
Newman
Harvick
Whom ever Finishes higher up in Final Race Position will be the 2014 Cup Champion
Exactly! I'd love to see Harvick win it all, but I so want Newman to expose this fraud of a "playoff system" that NASCAR has forced on us. Ironic that the Chase began partly because of Kenseth's one win championship season.
I think he meant he hopes Gordon wins the race and Newman wins the Cup.
Well this version of the chase has finally made me realize there are better things to do than watch NASCAR. Looking forward to more time working on honey-do list. I say this as a long term fan of the sport. Empty seats and bad sportsmanship seems to be NASCAR’s goals. Enjoy the final race.
My low temp for Monday from my weather monitor was 0.9 F. Right now it is showing 0.5F.
It will be a place for any News/Gossip/Rumors/Etc as well as a place for anybody to find a (((hug))) or vent frustrations and have a shoulder to cry on;)
I can't hand out real drugs but will be posting pictures of any needed Antidepressant's or Nerve calming pills on an as needed basis.
I'll be back later to post the usual Race info.
Yes, that’s what I meant — plus having Jeff, Jr. & Jimmie Johnson (all very popular drivers) win a race after being eliminated in this format would just point out even more how messed up it is.
I do understand the reasoning behind what they tried to do with these elimination races & “resetting” points, but every possibly problem within the format has been magnified by how it all played out. It definitely needs tweaked.
*lol* — no problem :)
Now that there’s cold. Too cold for me.
So, just how much boost are these Fords running?
That should fix it.

Notes: Teams in the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series will all run the same tire set-up at Homestead this week . . . this is the same combination of left- and right-side tires that teams in all three series ran twice each at Texas this season . . . Sprint Cup teams also ran this tire set-up in race No. 1 of the Chase for the Sprint Cup at Chicagoland in September . . . this left-side tire code (D-4392) has been run by NASCAR teams at Homestead since 2010 . . . this is the first time these teams have run this right-side tire code (D-4618) at Homestead . . . this right-side employs Goodyear's multi-zone tread technology, which combines two distinct tread compounds on the same tire -- the outside 10 inches of the tread features a compound that is designed for grip, while the inside two inches of the tread is toughened to enhance durability on the part of the tire sees the most heat and takes the most abuse . . . this tire set-up was confirmed for Homestead at a Goodyear test at the track on September 9 . . . one team per Chase-qualified organization was allowed to participate, though no Chase-eligible driver was allowed to test . . . drivers that participated were Justin Allgaier (Hendrick), Ryan Blaney (Penske), Austin Dillon (Childress), Sam Hornish (Gibbs), Danica Patrick (Stewart-Haas), Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (Roush-Fenway) and Martin Truex Jr. (JTG-Daugherty) . . . as on all NASCAR ovals greater than one mile in length, teams are required to run inner liners in all four tire positions at Homestead . . . air pressure in those inner liners should be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire.
Final NASCAR start for Marcos Ambrose: Marcos Ambrose will make his final start in the #9 Stanley Ford this weekend at the Homestead-Miami Speedway for Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM). Ambrose will depart the organization as one of its most successful drivers. Since joining RPM in 2011, he has put the #9 Sprint Cup team in Victory Lane twice while also earning three poles. In addition, Ambrose has 33 Top-10 and 11 Top-Five finishes. Ambrose will be most remembered as one of the best road course racers in the history of NASCAR. "It's been about nine years since my family and I came over the 'water' to try out this experiment of NASCAR. And, it's been great. We've won races, had good runs and met a lot of wonderful people. But, it's time to take my family back across the 'pond' and go home. I made that decision this year, and once we did that, we started working towards that plan. That's what this year has been like, and everyone has been very supportive. We are finishing our NASCAR season, and we just want to spoil the guys in 'The Chase'. I have had a good time here in NASCAR. It's the most competitive form of racing in the world, and there is nothing like it. It's a grind, and you need to be focused all the time on the task at hand. It will be nice to get some more weekends off and get back to V8. I will miss NASCAR, and I will watch it too. I will watch the night races in the morning in Australia with breakfast, and that will be fun. I'm looking forward to that. I have good runs, memorable races that I'll carry with me for sure. It was great winning for 'The King' and racing for wins at Watkins Glen. These are memories that I'll have for a lifetime. I would have liked to win on an oval, sure, but I feel like I've accomplished a lot too. Now, it's just time to go back home with my family."(RPM)(11-12-2014)
