Without the stages I'd say Kyle was in trouble, but he could make up those points in one stage
 
Yeah the Gibbers are having trouble with their "everythings great" alien. They get him programed out with decent interviews...he wrecks. Program up the aggression? he top 5's but he can't be left unsupervised. :idunno:
 
Two of MY TRD powered Toyota Camrys on the brink with all of that shady skipped wind tunnel NASCAR favoritism.....they must really suck. Next time we get that wind tunnel opened up, let's take those Ford plate cars too.....I'd be interested. BTW, don't know why they would even consider the wind tunnel broken. Plenty of wind here.

He is racing Jimmie Freaking Johnson. No slouch. This will be difficult at best. People who are calling Kyle's shot at Kansas need to pay closer attention to the sport. This is not his happy place. Yeah, has five straight top fives because he is an unbelievable talent....but this isn't the place he would want his Game 7 moment IMO. Makes all of it even more interesting.

He's also racing Ryan Blaney, who is only 9 points ahead of him. I see Blaney not making it but that leaves only two of the three veterans getting in (Johnson, KyBu, Kenseth). I dunno, maybe Chad misplaced the horseshoe this time around? :blink:
 
Unless someone wins its between Blaney, Busch, Johnson, and Kenseth to advance I'd say.
 
Guys don’t want to see Jimmie advance he’s really good at the 3 tracks in the next round
 
What do you guys think will happen, few cautions and long green flag runs, or lots of cautions and wrecks?

Likely be some cautions, other than the stages.

Top 6 in points play it safe while the rest battle it out.

#21 and #18 will be 2 of the main cars to watch and possibly the cause of 1 or more of the cautions ;)
 
He's baaack.

Thought I'd toss a reminder out there in case the broadcast team forgets to mention it; this will be Earnhardt Jr's final start at Kansas.

And quite possibly Kenseth's as well.

And Danica's, and whoever drives for BK this week. But likely not Derrick Cope's! :rolleyes:

If Carl Edward's did nothing else worthy of praise, at least he spared us a 'Farewell Tour' and the accompanying network balloon gas.

That's been happening a lot recently.

I think you have DirecTV. You should be able to stream that because you already subscribe to it.
 
In other words this is all of the weekend's Kansas race broadcasts that I get to watch. The times are my local times. What a shame.
