“I don’t know about the rest of you, but I normally don’t go into the Kansas race expecting much excitement. Some in the television media were certainly hyping it up as that, but for whatever reasons the racing at Kansas just doesn’t capture my attention or burn itself into my memory.
Surely eight years has been enough time for something to have happened on the track that would be memorable for me. Other than last years coasting win by Biffle, I’m hard pressed to recall anything exciting in the previous Cup races there.
Next year, that won’t be an issue as Carl Edwards gave it one memorable final lap passing attempt. Driving in hard and late, Carl took the lead and held on…. right up until he hit the wall. I loved the fact that he went in there for it with a points-be-damned mentality and still came out in the end without loosing his original 2nd place spot.
Carl Edwards is certainly gunning for the cover of EA Sports NASCAR 2010.
Here in our Experts Chase Game we seem to have our own versions of Greg Biffle (Mike) and Kyle Busch (Jeff). Mike now has two wins and a 4th place finish. Jeff has two finishes of 40th or worse, but (unlike Kyle) he also has a 9th place finish. Still, Mike and Jeff’s average so far in this game is eerily similar to their NASCAR driver counterparts. 
Mike’s average is 2nd while Gregg Biffle’s average is 1.66. Jeff’s average finish is 30.66 while Kyle’s is 35th. Hmmmm….
