Jeff Gordon does it again. He raced to his second victory in a row. The end of the race had so many different possible endings that you couldn't help but sit on the edge of your seat. It was fantastic.

Honestly, I didn't really think that Kyle Busch had it in him to be a level-headed good boy, but he was. He was sitting in second spot right behind Gordon on a restart. It was a prime opportunity for him to give Gordon a little love tap and go for the lead.

I have to say the exact same thing about Clint Bowyer, only I think Bowyer just plain and simple screwed up. He did nudge him, just not enough to bump him out of the way. Instead, it sent Gordon souring for the win. Even though I think Bowyer screwed up, he impressed me the most in the race. He hasn't been know to have good results here. He started in 25th position and by lap 45 - 50, he had worked his way up to the 6th spot.

I don't know what the hell happened to Ryan Newman. It looked like it was his race to win and then he just spun out and wrecked, giving Gordon the lead.

Jimmie Johnson, my pick to win the race, spun out. It looked like he got a bit too high, got into the marbles and tapped the wall damaging his right rear bumper.

Tony Stewart had some bad luck in the pits. He was leaving his pit box, and had a near miss with Paul Menard. He started going again and Kasey Kahne hit him trying to get in to his own pit box. It damaged Stewart's right front. I would have loved to listen in on that radio communication. Just bad luck in really tight quarters.

Kurt Busch had a similar incident in the pits as Stewart and later in the race dropped a cylinder. He ended up finishing 26th.

Kevin Harvick has to be one of the unluckiest drivers in the Chase. He thought he had a right front tire go down so he made a green flag pit to change right side tires. He went back out on the track but the car still didn’t feel right. He went back in the pits to change all four and found it was a left rear tire that was the cause of the problem. That put him 3 laps down. He finished 33rd.

Where do I begin with Matt Kenseth? He had so many wrecks that I lost count.

Denny Hamlin had transmission issues, finishing 20th.

The rest of the Chasers: Jeff Burton finished 4th, Carl Edwards - 5th, Martin Truex Jr. - 17th.

I'll be honest with you. I didn't watch the race from start to finish. I kept flipping over the Red Sox game the entire time. I just had to.
