Today is another day that I get to watch the NASCAR Sprint Cup series live.
- What storyline from the start of the race come to be written true?
- Will Jeff Gordon win his 5th Brickyard 400?
- Will finally Ford win the first Brickyard 400 after 11 times that Chevelot has won? Or will Toyota win for the 1st time?
As a side storyline, Roush Fenway Racing announced that my favorite driver, Carl Edwards, will not be racing where he started. Where will he be driving next year? Rumors have it that he will go to Joe Gibbs Racing. If true, it will be with mixed feelings because he will be on the team with the driver who is my least favorite, Kyle Busch. Just saying.

So it turns out that it's the 5th win for Jeff Gordon for the Brickyard 400--and twelve in the row for a Chevrolet in Victory Lane! That is the storyline that wins out!
It could have been a first win for Toyota with the 2nd place Kyle Busch, who is not my favorite driver. So, I am glad that it didn't happen.
Carl Edwards with the Ford Motor came in 15th, and couldn't be the one who would put Ford in Victory Lane!

With six more races before the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship, the NASCAR drivers who will be in the Chase is beginning to come into reality. This year's group qualifying for each race has given the fans a heightened interest in the sport. There is more competition. The only thing that I would like changed in the drivers who seem to be in the Chase, is I wish that Kyle Busch wasn't in, and Tony Stewart was. Let's also hope that Kyle Larson stays in the Chase, as a popular rookies. If only Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. and Danica Patrick can make it, then, it will create more interesting stories to follow--and, maybe there will be more heighten interest in the sport. That is definitely what NASCAR needs!
