How ironic that Jeff Gordon spins in the same spot that Tony Stewart did earlier in the race while leading. Only this time, it cost Gordon the win. This is Stewart's third win in four weeks. He is on fire.

Imagine the tension at my Dad's house yesterday when Kevin Harvick and Juan Pablo Montoya got in a wreck. You see, I am a Montoya fan, my Dad is a die-hard Harvick fan and my husband is a fan of Martin Truex Jr.

Harvick jumped out of his car and went over to Montoya. They exchanged words and Montoya kind of shoved Harvick back a couple times.

Harvick was interviewed after the scuffle and was asked what he was talking to Montoya about and Harvick said he was "talking about kicking Montoya's [expletive]."

I don't think Harvick is in a position in the point standings where he can afford a 25 point loss due to swearing on television, which if NASCAR is consistent, is what is going to happen.

I blame that particular wreck on Truex. My husband said it was Montoya being Montoya and my Dad was so mad he could barely speak. We kind of just decided not to discuss it any further.

On a totally different note, Bill Elliott is simply a class act. He gave Boris Said his car to drive after qualifying was rained out. He said it was the most logical thing to do because Said was just coming off a road coarse in Montreal the weekend before and Elliott hadn't raced one since June. Not to mention that Said is just phenominal at a road course.

He also wanted the Wood Brothers to have a solid finish to try to secure a top 35 position in the owner point standings. By Said finishing 14th, it did in fact bump Wood Brothers (unofficially) to the 35th owner point standings.
