Who knew?
A lot of fun stuff happened on the track this week. Who knew ...
... that RCR was going to be so good this year? Harvick is third, Burton is fourth, and Childress is proof that you can have a second act in racing. (Race story here.)
... that Robby Gordon was still racing? He hasn't cracked the top 10 in Cup since Talladega, but this weekend at Watkins Glen he was part of two exciting finishes. Make sure to watch the Busch finish - I'm still not sure how Gordon and Kurt Busch survived that last lap. And who knew that the DEI engines were a little weak this year? Oh, wait, we already knew that.
... that Kurt Busch could turn right? He definitely had the car to beat Saturday and Sunday. And who knew he could drive a stock car 400 mph? Not that it will help him make the Chase.
... that Kasey Kahne keeps a snake in his car? That sucker manages to get loose on the last lap and bite him in the you-know. .Here's what happened in case you missed NBC's recap
... that AJ Allmendinger has become the patron saint for Jeremy Mayfield? Man, what a great story that would be.
So what else did you learn this weekend? My head's all swollen.

Love throwin' out the troll bait don't you John? Whether true or not, and we know it is, the DEI "fans" may clog up the comments in defense of their charge.
I'm afraid Mayfield may need more than a patron saint and by definition, i.e. AJ had a good ride to go to, his available "saints" aren't exactly Saints.
About the only options he has is BDR or Mikey's Toy. And they remind me of an old song lyric:
"Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, Here I am, stuck in the middle with you."

Marc,
I don't know how you winnow down Mayfield's available options to just two teams. There are plenty of teams who would love to have a proven driver who has been in the Chase for the past two years in a row.
I'll recommend one seat he could take: The 28. Is that Casey Mears? If the dude can't do a successful 180-degree turn to get back in the race, he doesn't belong behind the wheel.

Are you talking about the 25?
