The Chase is on

The chase for the NASCAR Sprint cup is on and its shaping up to be a great finish which is exactly what NASCAR needs. NASCAR has been struggling as of late with help from the economy, lack of a fan favorite winning, and lack of a new champion. However that may finally all change. This chase has been the most exciting ever to go with a season that saw a lot of NASCAR's roots come back exactly how they planned. Not only was there a 3 car in victory lane this season, but we saw the return of the spoiler to the Sprint Cup Series. We saw some disputes on the track example this past week with Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton. It seems as if NASCAR is finally listening to it's fans and giving them what they want to see. The last step to making 2010 a complete sucess having a great championship finish which i dont doubt will happen. Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson, and Kevin Harvick are all going right down to the wire it seems. Hamlin who just came through in a big way for his #11 FedEx Toyota Camry with a win at Texas this past week has taken the points lead. With only 2 races left in the Chase and less than 60 points between these 3 drivers it seems like to me that this chase is gonna be talked about for a long time.
