Lots of drama in the first Chase race today at Chicago. Here was the top 10 finishers: 78-22-24-21-2-11-5-18-20-88. Johnson led the most laps but got a late race speeding penalty that cost him the race.

Truex and Johnson failed post race inspection!!! But because of the severity this will not affect Truex moving on to the second round. Not sure if point penalties will be issued this week? It was a measurement problem as cars were to low. So much for Nascar getting tough on cheating in the Chase like they said they would.

New penalties clarification for the Chase. Now you will need to have 2 missing lug nuts total on the car to receive a penalty. Failing the laser inspection station could result in an automatic disqualification and a loss of 35 points now. This is a first for Nascar as they have always let cars that fail post race to keep there winnings and trophy but dock them points. This is a big step for them but long over due IMO.
Well well well......Nascar never ceases to amaze. No penalties will be issued to Johnson and race winner Truex Jr. as Nascar has changed the rules again to accomodate their 2 Chase superstars. New tolerances will be announced at Louden this week for the laser inspection station. It is felt that the original ones that other drivers have been penalized for in the past including Truex 2 weeks ago will no longer apply. Jaysus....this is turning into WWE.

I really like the Player's tribune, here's an interesting article. They don't have much racing coverage but there is a bit if you dig. Danica is an editor on the site.

Interesting first qualifying session with a bunch of cars waiting in the inspection station. I think it affected the drivers who were waiting to run. Harvick was way off in his qualifying. Another great start for the 78 team.

Hey you are going to go fast when you have cheated in the last 2 races and Nascar doesn't care anymore?

Keselowski and Busch have enough points to pretty much assure themselves a spot unless something really bad happens at the start of the race. Here were the top 10 cars tonight: 4-20-18-2-41-19-78-48-5-42

Here is the updated Chase Grid with Dover left in the round of 16: 78-4-2-18-20-22-11-48-24-19-41-42. The 1-3-14-34 cars need to do something big to get in now. Tony and Buescher especially.
