3 THINGS WE LEARNED

AT TALLADEGA

3 THINGS TO WATCH

— Godwin Kelly, [email protected]

— Godwin Kelly, [email protected]

WINNER: Jimmie

Johnson

REST OF TOP 5: Joey

Logano, Kurt Busch,

Kyle Busch, Brad

Keselowski

FIRST ONE OUT: Kevin

Harvick

DARK HORSE: Kyle

Larson

DON’T BE SURPRISED

IF: Johnson finds his

winning form at the

half-mile oval where

he has eight career

Cup victories.

Has your championship

prediction changed?

GODSPEAK: I was with

Harvick, but that Logano

bandwagon is loud, fast and

tempting.

KEN'S CALL: I've been with

Joey for a long time now.

Anyone see a reason to

change?

Lot of big names out.

Concerned?

GODSPEAK: Sorry to see Dale

Jr. go because he always

makes the storyline a bit

more compelling.

KEN'S CALL: Junior's exit

hurts, but all these guys are

familiar to racin' fans, so it's

not like a bunch of strangers

are in the hunt.

Can Joey four-peat at

Martinsville?

GODSPEAK: Statistically, no.

With Matt Kenseth in the

field, absolutely not.

KEN'S CALL: I don't really

consider Talladega a win for

him, so who cares?

DENNY HAMLIN VS. KEVIN HARVICK:

Harvick ignited the “Big One” on the last

green-flag lap, which swept Hamlin out

of the Chase.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: The consensus

was that Harvick caused the wreck to

advance in the playoffs. He didn’t make

many friends, which could haunt him in

the next three weeks.

Hamlin Harvick

How will losing Matt Kenseth affect NASCAR?

Small picture:

Not so much.

For all of Matt’s

achievements

in NASCAR, he’s

never been one

you’d make

the focus of a marketing campaign. So

the Chase will survive without him. Big

picture, however: He put the lumber to

the Boys in Competition.

Mild Matt?

Yep, and he did it out of frustration,

anger, whatever, but coming from him,

there was bad mojo in the review of

the messy Talladega finish, with all the

finger-pointing at Kevin Harvick and

“the system.” Said Matt: “I just feel

like they lost total control of this whole

thing. It's not what racing is all about.”

That’s bad stuff.

And your feelings?

I stand by my long-held view that no

race should finish under yellow, regard-

less of how many restarts it takes.

And once you start tinkering with the

number of restarts allowed, particularly

midweek, you’re begging for trouble. As

a topper, the Chase’s laws of unintended

consequences hit hard at Talladega.

Ironically, it was Kenseth’s tedious

march to the 2003 championship that

helped pave the way for the Chase.

Mad Matt is hiding

behind Mild Matt’s

shades. ASSOCIATED

1. Say goodnight, Gracie

Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race at

Talladega was the last race of

Chase Round 2. Four title con-

tenders were knocked out of

the playoffs. The unfortunate

four were Dale Earnhardt Jr.,

Ryan Newman, Matt Kenseth

and Denny Hamlin. All were a

bit grumpy after the race. “I

really can’t spin any positive

on it right now,” Hamlin said

of his day.

2. Four straight?

Joey Logano had the option

to coast at Talladega but

chose to go the distance and

was rewarded with his third

consecutive victory. He swept

all the races in Chase Round

2. Has the driver of the No. 22

Ford used up all his luck, or

can he make it four straight

wins? Logano sees more

success. “We've got momen-

tum,” he said. “This team has

been firing on all eight right

now.”

3. Clever move

Kevin Harvick’s No. 4 Chevy

had the speed of a moped in

the closing laps at Talladega.

Something went bad in the

engine. He had to score a

good finish to advance to

Chase Round 3. It appears

Harvick love-tapped Trevor

Bayne on the restart, igniting

the race-ending crash that

froze Harvick in 15th. Now he

must deal with a fistfull of

upset drivers the next three

weeks. Good luck with that.

Denny Hamlin’s championship

hopes flamed out at Talladega.

NORRIS

1. Ain’t over until …

A race isn’t over until NASCAR

says it is over. NASCAR

said there would be one

green-white-checkered flag

sequence, if needed, at Tal-

ladega. Turns out there were

two, kinda. On the second

restart, Kevin Harvick veered

into Trevor Bayne, and about

a third of the field crashed

before reaching Turn 1.

Harvick, who advanced in

the Chase due to the wreck,

became the big focus of

unwanted attention.

2. Most disappointed

There were many. Among

them, Ryan Newman, who

was in position to make Chase

Round 3, but the “Big One”

took him out. He was frus-

trated at NASCAR, fuming,

“Well, I guess if you come up

with a new rule every week,

we’ll have something to talk

about, won’t we?”

3. Drive for five

Jeff Gordon’s hopes for a

fifth NASCAR Cup Series

championship moved forward

into Chase Round 3. “Watch

out," Gordon said, "we have

something for them these

next three or four.” Maybe,

finally, a win in his going-away

season?

Good news for Tony Stewart: This didn’t wreck any championship hopes for the No. 14 team. ASSOCIATED
