Jeff was in the lead going in and presto, the points changed and he was bumped down the list. It sure didn't seem fair, and I'm not sure it's that fair now since the drivers who earned wins get bonus points for those wins going into the Chase. In a sport where NASCAR is trying to make the field fair to all, its nearly impossible for&amp;nbsp;teams with less money to spend, to even compete let alone win a race. The points were the only thing keeping them competitive enough to return each week to fill the field. Just a thought...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1994343807824450616-6406830868023517068?l=hookedonracin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hookedonracin.blogspot.com/feeds/6406830868023517068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1994343807824450616&amp;postID=6406830868023517068' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1994343807824450616/posts/default/6406830868023517068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1994343807824450616/posts/default/6406830868023517068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hookedonracin.blogspot.com/2011/09/richmondchasegot-me-thinking.html' title='Richmond...Chase...Got me Thinking...'/><author><name>ReUseItNut</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09176095658633815322</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wPh6dMdda3o/Ta1NlfHHFxI/AAAAAAAAAV4/Ri2wvfRLGHk/s220/1pic.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vkY9GckWe7A/Tm3jTu55ObI/AAAAAAAAAa8/lL1ggD6N8KE/s72-c/2011+Chase+field.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994343807824450616.post-42174247446963057</id><published>2011-09-10T09:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-10T09:09:53.095-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jeff Gordon Wins!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oALKzQM64lw/TmuKCbupf-I/AAAAAAAAAao/Puf4nk1KUBI/s1600/JG.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oALKzQM64lw/TmuKCbupf-I/AAAAAAAAAao/Puf4nk1KUBI/s200/JG.JPG" width="106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the edge of my seat...then standing...then jumping up and down, Jeff Gordon across the finish line, way too Kool...and now we can't wait til Richmond...&lt;br /&gt;When I first got into racing, my honey told me he's a fan of Jeff Gordon (I had heard the name, just not familiar with NASCAR)...so I started learning all about him...seems he and most driver's for NASCAR are class acts...the foundations they support, the way they carry themselves, makes&amp;nbsp;me eager for more...&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Jeff for winning...&lt;br /&gt;Thanks NASCAR for bringing the racing to us...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1994343807824450616-42174247446963057?l=hookedonracin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hookedonracin.blogspot.com/feeds/42174247446963057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1994343807824450616&amp;postID=42174247446963057' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1994343807824450616/posts/default/42174247446963057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1994343807824450616/posts/default/42174247446963057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hookedonracin.blogspot.com/2011/09/jeff-gordon-wins.html' title='Jeff Gordon Wins!'/><author><name>ReUseItNut</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09176095658633815322</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wPh6dMdda3o/Ta1NlfHHFxI/AAAAAAAAAV4/Ri2wvfRLGHk/s220/1pic.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oALKzQM64lw/TmuKCbupf-I/AAAAAAAAAao/Puf4nk1KUBI/s72-c/JG.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994343807824450616.post-108007440306915714</id><published>2009-09-26T07:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-26T07:33:52.175-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Who's your Favorite?!</title><content type='html'>We'd like to see Mark Martin win the championship this year...Glad to see NO Kyle Busch since he's still got that bad attitude...anyone else got an opinion?
