Now how impressive was Harvick at the Sylvania 300? Damn Impressive. He is showing that the momentum is definitely on his side and that he is hungry for that Championship. That one move he made to be the cream in between the two oreo cookies of Denny Hamlin and teammate Jeff Burton was a little on the aggressive side and with what is on the line with the Chase, he may of opted to wait and try to pass during the next few laps. I am sure Jeff Burton would of cut him some slack since he did know Harvick had a very fast car. Overall, it was an exciting race to watch, here are some of the bare facts from the race:
1. How about Dave Blaney finishing 9th and getting back to back Top 10's.
2. Tony starting in the back of the field, not afraid to race against the Chasers and finishing up 2nd.
3. Poor Jimmie Johnson, he should choose his words more wisely. Just remember Jimmie, you live by the sword, you die by the sword.
4. Another Hendrick team member has a horrendous finish in Kyle Busch. Appears that Kyle got a bit too anxious with Jeff Green. Perhaps he should listen to his older brother's advice.
5. Sure do miss having Benny in the announcers booth. He keeps the peace and plus I miss him saying "Que the duck."
6. How about Brian Vickers making Jeff Gordon work for the pass. That was just priceless. Just goes to show he is not afraid to go up against the chasers.
7. What happened to the coverage of the rest of the field? I know the focus is on the Chasers but geesh, at least talk about some of the others. Yes, Stewart was mentioned and so were a select few, of course the ones involved in wrecks, go figure.
8. Close call for Travis Kvapil and Tony Raines at the end of the race after clipping Truex Jr. On a positive note, they did cross the finish line.
9. Do you think Bill Weber will ever get a clue that people just don't like his announcing. Bring back Allen Bestwick to the booth.
10. Hey Michael Waltrip, you might want to give some consideration to faster cars because with you starting your own team next year, you just might need some help from others. Treat others as you would treat yourself.
Next up is the Monster Mile and the Dover 400 set for September 24th at 12:30pm EST on TNT...We Know Drama, but of course this is NASCAR.

Hey Tom, great blog entry about the race this weekend. It was fantastic to see it in person at NHIS and the view from Row 46 was wonderful. Harvick is certainly on fire!
Got a picture of DJ waving to the crowd. As soon as I download my photos, I'll send it your way.
Missed my chance to meet Edwards again as I didn't make the top 100 ticket holders *sigh* I'll get him next time.
Moving on to Dover...
What are they going to do to Vickers anyway, fire him? I wonder if he would have raced Jeff like that if he were staying with Hendrick after this season.
I can't even explain to you how annoying Bill Webber is to me. It's like nails on a chalk board every weekend. Add in commercials and I'm going crazy by Sunday night.
Sorry I haven't been around much Tom. It's been crazy.
