Seems very clear to me. Menard took a dive.

What would the Chase for the Sprint Cup be without a little controversy at the outset to spice it up?
That occurred Thursday when, during the Chase Media Day events at downtown Chicago restaurant, when Jeff wondered aloud if the late-race caution caused when driver Paul Menard spun his No. 27 Chevrolet last Saturday night at Richmond was intentional.
"Here's what I am going to say about it: You do whatever you can as a team to win, win races, win championships, and if any of that is true of what's being speculated right now, all I have can say is I've lost a lot of respect for Paul, if that's the case. But I don't want to blame him for any of that if it's not true,"
Menard's spin with 17 laps to go in the Wonderful Pistachios 400 came while Gordon was in the lead, with Menard's teammate at Kevin in hot pursuit. Harvick subsequently beat Gordon off pit road and went on to win the race, while Gordon had to settle for a third-place finish behind Harvick and second-place finisher Carl. Now you saw the race---what do you think????

Im going to have to agree with Patty here on this one. To know Neil was a great treat,to race with him was a thrill, but he put a lot of heart into those segments on TNN. THOSE were SPECIAL moments when he told each of the segments. If you remember the last one that was broadcast he said see you next "----"

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- With only one race remaining until the 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup is set, eight drivers have clinched a top-10 spot -- Jimmie Johnson , Kyle Busch , Carl Edwards , Matt Kenseth , Jeff Gordon , Kevin Harvick , Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman . Brad Keselowski , with three victories, has clinched at least a wild card berth. He remains eligible to earn a top-10 spot.
After Saturday night's race, the top 10 drivers make up the first part of the 12-driver Chase. Spots 11 and 12 go to those drivers outside the top 10 with the most wins, provided they are in the top 12. The wild card tiebreaker is points position.
Only three spots remain. And thanks to the wild card factor -- which is in its inaugural year -- a whopping 14 drivers remain mathematically eligible.
In terms of drivers outside the top 10, positions 11-23 are all mathematically eligible for a Chase nod. In 2005, seven drivers outside the top 10 still had a mathematical chance, the previous high going into Richmond.
A tale of the tape of the 14:
Earnhardt is currently 25 points ahead of 11th place. Regardless of any other driver's finish, Earnhardt will clinch if he finishes:
- 20th or better
- 21st or better and leads at least one lap
- 22nd or better and leads the most laps
Stewart is currently 23 points ahead of 11th place. Regardless of any other driver's finish, Stewart will clinch if he finishes:
- 18th or better
- 19th or better and leads at least one lap
- 20th or better and leads the most laps
With a win, he's in. Hamlin doesn't have to win, though. If he stays ahead of all one-win drivers, and there are no other two-win drivers inside the top 20, he's in the Chase. Also, if Keselowski does vault into the top 10, Hamlin could still make the Chase if there is a two-win driver from 11th to 20th as long as he's higher in points than any other one-win driver.
Allmendinger is where the wild card drama starts to ratchet up. Points be damned. A win is the only thing that matters for him, and a number of other drivers. He'll need a win and movement up the points to nab the tie-breaker. He finished seventh at Richmond in April.
Of the winless drivers, Bowyer might be the best bet. Bowyer won here in 2008, and has an average finish of 9.5. He needs a win, and some help.
One of six winless drivers who won in 2010, Biffle's best Richmond finish was third in 2005. He needs a win, and some help.
Two of his past four finishes this season have been in the top five. His best Richmond finish is fifth in 2008. He needs a win, and some help.
Kahne, who needs a win and some help, won at Richmond in 2005, his first career victory.
Needs a win and help. His best Richmond finish is fourth in this race last season.
Needs a win and help; he won at Richmond in 1990.
Win, and he's in -- pretty simple. His finishes at Richmond haven't been so easy. His best: 16th in 2007.
If he wins and gets into the top 20, he's in. Two of his past three Richmond finishes were in the top 10.
Needs a win and help. Best finish was sixth in May of last year.
If he wins, and gets into the top 20, he's in. He finished fourth in April, and third in 2007.

PERHAPS THE LEGEND DOESN'T BELONG HERE AFTER ALL

I have been told that the older a sword becomes the sharper it can be. With that said I grew up with the motto "Wine,Women and Racecars dont mix"so I passed on the Wine. I never smoked either so I guess I lost out on a lot of unpleasant events. Saturday nit live was not on my viewing schedule so Wil Farrel missed my remarks I guess. He did get my vote for being a vulgar person on some tapes I have heard him on. Talledega Nites is a very,very loose description of what racing is about. I think- = A personal opinion now = that he demeaned the Race Fans in Alabama.
Now as for you being on Racers Reunion, I will say this. You are very opinionated person. When you get in your little corner of that Man cave you carved out of Anns house you become very orchestrated in your beliefs of racing both past,present and future !!
The guy I met years ago was mellow,kinda quiet and fundamental at the track and yes I thought you were a calculated driver. Chances you did not take unless rewards were immediate.
As the years have come and gone you have become a person of statute both in your profession and in your passion here on Racers Reunion. Although I know you could still be a wheel man you are also known delegate for our sport and for R/R.
Now as for this mamby-jamby you have concocted of not being R/R material where did you read this? or was it a dream? Or was it wrote on the back of a stall door? True I have heard some talk of What did he say or better, He said that? But other than that you better set your carcass down and think of the rebuttal you will have to draft up to counter what those two grandkids are prepaired to levy on you.
You have made your bed here so now tough it out and get ready for Tuesday nite--You ait skeered of no Hill-billy Tennessee race car driver are ya? Didnt think so.
