Yeah, it's another NASCAR post.
Tonight is the last race before the "playoffs"--that's the best comparison I can use to explain the Chase for the Cup format. All the races up til now have been the "regular season"; after tonight, anyone in the top ten in points for the season will be in the Chase, the "playoffs", and out of that group, whoever wins the most points within the next 10 races will be the champ.
Six drivers, as of 7 PM tonight, have clinched spots in the Chase. Eight drivers are in the running for the remaining four spots. "My" driver, Kasey Kahne--every NASCAR fan has "their" driver--is one of them. He started the race tonight in 9th place, so if he doesn't run better than five of the other contending drivers, he's out of the playoffs.
If Kasey doesn't get into the Chase, I'm not gonna be a very happy woman. In fact, I'm gonna be a whiny, cranky, MarkMartin-JeremyMayfield-JamieMcMurray-ElliotSadler-KurtBusch-BobbyLabonte-DaleJr-MattKenseth-KevinHarvick-DaleJarrett-Jimmie Johnson-Jeff Gordon-Ryan Newman-Tony Stewart-hating beeeeeyotch. (Okay, I'm already a Tony Stewart-hating beeeyotch. The rest of them I only hate because they're not my sweet lil' Kasey.)
My fingers are crossed for Mark Martin (a.k.a. Viagra-Boy) to blow an engine.
