1-2-3 for Roush

1-2-3 for Jack Roush: Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards. Congratulations to Biffle for victory No. 2 of the Chase. I was so impressed with the last 50 laps or so of the race. The three of them were swapping leads and doing a little bumping and banging. It was excellent racing. Just excellent.
Here are some other thoughts (Chasers are in bold):
-- I am sure it would have been a 1-2-3-4 for Roush had Jamie McMurray not had some bad luck. He had quite an impressive car also but he was taken out by Robby Gordon who got loose and drove him up into the wall.
-- Dale Earnhardt Jr. was racing Matt Kenseth to stay on the lead lap and had a right tire blow. He finished the race 24th, two laps down.
-- Kyle Busch blew up and ended the day with a 43rd place finish. Terrible luck two weeks in a row.
-- Denny Hamlin had a tire go down and while he was in the pits they discovered an oil leak in the rear end. He eventually went to the garage area where they did extensive work. He finished 38th.
-- They didn't show or talk about Tony Stewart much during the race at all but he finished 11th.
-- Poor David Reutimann. He was looking to have wsuch a solid finish and made a bad mistake by pitting outside his pit box. NASCAR officials penalized him a lap.
-- How about that Mark Martin? Seriously. He had a great car and was really racey all day. Very impressive.
-- Are you really surprised that Sam Hornish got into the wall a few times yesterday? I'm not.
The rest of the Chasers: Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Clint Bowyer and Jeff Burton finished, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th, respectively.
Here's what the point standings look like after yesterday's race at Dover International Speedway.
