How Busch can clinch Chase berth

Kyle Busch's eight victories have clinched the Chase's "top seeding" because of the 80 bonus points those wins provide. Of course, to be top seed, he must first make the Chase -- a virtual certainty if there ever was one. This weekend, Busch can become the first driver to clinch a Chase berth, by finishing 10th or better on Sunday at Michigan.

He has to be cheating....a nice 100 point infraction should be levied by Nascar. Call it a competition fine.

Is he shooting us the finger in that picture?

I'll get Dale JR right on that Jackman,
Hes got clout!
LOL

This kid's got talent, but I just wish he would shut up sometimes. I still do not believe he will win the cup though. I would love to see Jr win it, but I do not seriously think he will do it this year, especially after that debacle at the Glen. Tony Eury Jr. has to be at fault for that call to stay out.

No, It is all JR s fault, just ask some in here!

Your correct Marbles, I wonder if we will hear any comments from JR regarding this?

Sorry Marbles, the chances of jr winning the championship are slim and none. It would be a farce to have a guy who wins 1 race win a championship. I know it's happened before, but that was also a farce. Unless every one else runs out of gas, you won't see jr win another race this year. And can we stop blaming his cousin/brother for last Sunday? jr was going to have to get gas at some point. He was only in the lead because the real drivers had already made their last stops.

80 point lead could evaporate with one DNF -- it ain't over til the fat gal howls!

August 12, 2008  08:47 AM ET

dismilmaya, i respectfully disagree with you on Jr s chances, and this was the responsibility of Tony Jr.
He screwed up!

August 12, 2008  08:47 AM ET

Thats right, Luck doesn't last forever! LOL

August 12, 2008  08:52 AM ET

Busch is in the chase, 43rd in all the remaining races gets him in. Non-story

August 12, 2008  08:56 AM ET

When the caution caught Jr on the track, Cuz told him to stay out and stick to their pit plan. Jr decided to come in. We'll never know if the crew chiefs' strategy would have worked, but Jr's obviously did not.

I heard JR/ Tony on the scanner the full race, what tony first said was stay out, then told JR to come on in- this within the same lap.

This is as irrational as some of the Kyle hating comments.

August 12, 2008  09:08 AM ET

He's not shooting you guys the finger
he's telling ya all your = # 1

Jackman, sorry brother, but jr has 2 wins in the last 3 years, both on fuel mileage gambles. He should be on his knees in front of Eury Jr.
As for Sunday, Jr took the lead on lap 61 when JJ hit the pits for his last stop. He wasn't going to make it to the finish without stopping again. He last pitted on lap 50 and the fuel mileage is good for 30 +-2. He wasn't going to hold off Shrub either way. I just don't understand why everyone is blaming his CC.
When he wins a race that doesn't involve a fuel gamble, I'll drop my RATIONAL argument!

Sweet Picture!!!! I know he is giving the camera the Finger! I am starting to become a Kyle fan...somebody help me!!!
