I know some of you will say he never had a chance but...I think he did. At this point, he's run out of time. He really needed a GREAT finish last night and he didn't get it. He's just too far behind.
I think Kurt's out of the Chase

I think you can add Dale Jr, too.
But, let's not give up hope for a good finish.

Sadly you are probably right ................................. Its not Kurts fault though cause he has given 100 percent. Hopefully next year he will have better equipment and crew to work with.

Yes, they both had a great year too. We cannot overlook that, TRL.

Would have been a great story...so far he's in 7th...not to shabby

I don't know? I kinda wish he would have stayed with Furniture Row next year. They've proved they can make him...what word am I looking for? Competitive, yeah, competitive, they've proved they can be competitive with Furniture Row.
Oh well, I guess only time will tell.

Yep and he can still move up some, Bucky. *nodding* They've had a great year.

Just being at the banquet is a huge win for Kurt and that team.
I think it's a 2 man race, but 3 others still have a shot to pour it on and win it.

It definitely is and if he can manage to pull off a win, I believe that team would have to consider it a very successful year

I'll reserve judgement until after next weeks wildcard race. Anything can and normally does happen.

True. We may see Mark throw an insane block because 'the boss said I had to' and see the standing get put in a blender.

Good point. If #20 and #48 get caught up in a mess and any of those back to about 7th get a top 5, things are going to get very, very interesting.

Exactly. Kurt might win next week while the top 5 in points all DNF. Like you said, anything can happen at Dega.

I think he is done also...but it will become much clearer after Dega. I get a headache just thinking about it.

Anyone not named Kenseth or Johnson needs a win to legitimately be in this thing

Unless Kenseth and Johnson DNF at the same time it still may not make a diffence.

We can only hope that Kurts new team will provide him with the tools he needs to win. Its certainly not a sure thing . Cant wait till 2014 !!

Still a great year. Just want him to finish in the Top 10 at the end of the year.

I really hope that Kurt can get a win this year , because I honestly don't believe that he can next year . He's going to find it really tough to make top fifteen with his new team. Oh , they'll find a lot of things to blame it on , and he is one of the most talented drivers out there , but you don't build a new team from scratch and win right away.

I'm not counting hardly anybody out until Dega is over with..I have seen too many big ones and the last place guy squirt thru untouched. He might not win the whole thing, but he could come out of Dega up one or two places real easy. Any of the 6 ahead of him have trouble and he doesn't, he gains a spot. his brother or Jeff gets knocked out pretty early he can get two spots. Stranger things have happened. I am not a fan of the RP track in the chase, but some of those drivers in certain spots have nothing to lose and everything to gain. A spot or two gain is big money at the end of the year.

Looks like the 18 needs a miracle to get back in the mix ............... Talladega may provide one

Kids can't see past first place. I think a top five would be a major achievement for Kurt , as it would be for Kyle and Carl who missed out last year .Everbody can't win ,best of luck to Jimmie and Matt , but I'm hoping for great finishes for the others too. Sorry.
