Tires At Texas

[pitman]

Tires seem to be a issue at Texas, first Joey then Harvick and Jr. only 60 laps in.

Well Keselowski seems to have the field under his thumb with less than 70 to go.

JJ is there.

With that pass by Johnson, Keselowski went from 2nd to 6th and 20 points behind. He, Logano, and Kurt are all in must win scenarios next week now.

Oh crap. Not Johnson. This one is done and so am I.

Might be first time I have ever pulled for Jimmie Johnson to make a pass for the win.

A lot less pressure on Harvick with an 11 point cushion heading into his best track next week.4

Keselowski, Kurt Busch and Logano are in must win situations next week.

Carl Edwards is 11 points behind Harvick and Truex and 12 behind Kyle Busch. He'll likely either need to win or have one of those 3 have trouble.

I always hope for a win, but given the circumstances, third for Harvick feels like a wins. Two blown tires and a gear shifter that wouldn't stay put.

Lucky caution when the 20 had tire issues.

I like a tire that has fall off, but when they have so much fall off that they're coming apart after 40 laps is a bit ridiculous.

My dad just called and said he had a 50 dollar bet on Keselowski winning today that would have got him a 300 dollar payoff. He wasn't too happy.

But congrats to Jimmie.

There's 5 races a year where you generally know who the winner will be before hand barring wrecks or equipment failure. The two Dover races go to Jimmie, as does the Fall Texas race. The two Phoenix races go to Harvick.

I took Joey this week hoping that my luck would continue with who ever I pick has trouble. I'm glad it worked out this week. Might have to take him again next week just to make sure he doesn't win. I did root for JJ for the first time in my life today. I just want the 2 and 22 out of the chase...

Jimmie playing spoiler at Texas makes Phoenix a better race. Now at least two of Keselowski, Kurt Busch and Logano will be eliminated as they are all essentially facing a must win.

I hope two chasers wreck each other battling for the win, a non-chaser wins again and Harvick finishes dead last.

Better hope he wrecks or blows up early.

What's it now?

4 in a row at Phoenix?
