In fact, McMurray qualified for the Chase this season for the first time since the playoff format’s inception in 2004, but in racing against – and observing – the title contenders past year, he had the chance to develop his own strategy.
“Hendrick is home for me; it’s where I’m going to have my entire career”, Johnson said. Win and you’re in… A good run and more importantly a victory is extremely important for the Chase drivers as they try to survive the playoff system and make it to the next round.
Formula One championship leader Lewis Hamilton is poised to match the total number of race wins set by his childhood idol Ayrton Senna, and said notching a 41st victory in Singapore this weekend would be an emotional moment.
What a difference a year makes.
Today’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race has a start time schedule of 3:00pm eastern time, 2:00pm local Chicago time, and airs on TV channel NBCSN, the NBC Sports Network.
Johnson’s version was that he got a push from behind from Joey Logano that sent him down to the apron. Bowyer had three wins that year and finished second in points to Brad Keselowski. “And I think that, as you go into these 10 weeks, you have to put it all together, and there’s a lot more than racing to handle”.
Why he won’t: Menard just hasn’t shown the chops to compete with the big boys, managing only four top-10s and two top-fives.
A win in the Chase automatically advances a driver into the next round.
Earlier in the season, Johnson and Harvick were performing at a higher level than everyone else, but since has been passed up.
Why he’ll win: He’s having his best season yet, and he’s due the kind of hot streak that most of the drivers near him in the non-Chase points standings have gotten.
Harvick drove the auto to the garage for repairs, and his anger toward Johnson was evident as headed back on the track – his finger pointed out his window at Johnson’s crew – 57 laps off the pace and second-to-last in the field.
Harvick was 57 laps down and in 42nd place when he return to the track. Kyle has always had bad luck in the chase, even in his best season in 2008.
True, though Johnson is tied for the series lead with Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch at four victories each, he hasn’t won since the Dover race in May. Hamlin, who has finished sixth at Richmond in his first race with the injury, will have surgery on the knee when the season is over.
It was as many expected it was a huge day for JGR with Carl Edwards finishing second in the No. 19 Toyota, Matt Kenseth fifth in the No. 20 and Kyle Busch ninth in the No. 18. This year Logano looks to take advantage of his opportunities and finally become the Sprint Cup champion he was expected to be at Gibbs. But that’s a dream. “I think we are going to pound them into the ground”.
“I hope we can do something spectacular in the last 10 races and do like Newman did a year ago “, said Gordon. We just need to step it up a little bit. “All those cars are capable of winning a championship, period”.
