Where was the love in Richmond???

Well it sure wasn't coming from the NBC/TNT broadcasting booth. Does anyone else realize there are 32 other drivers out there trying to win a race. Yes, it is the last race before the Chase starts and it sure was an exciting race. It was a no-brainer to figure out who was the only one that had a chance to break into the Top 10, Kasey Kahne. The big drama was who was going to either stay or go and that fell on 5 drivers. Unfortunately the one to fall was Tony Stewart. It was a shock to everyone that he didn't make it. Let's not forget, he wrecked his primary car which was designed just for this track. All in all the race did have its excitement.

Here a few examples of NO LOVE:

1. Dave Blaney finishes 4th, only his 2nd career Top 5 finish---no mention of it or post race interview.

2. Kenny Schraeder posting a 7th place finish---no coverage of his great finish.

3. Bill Weber not knowing what track he is at when he says.."And Harvick sweeps Bristol" Hey Bill, we are at Richmond.

4. Jeff Green getting parked---Looks like you have to be a high profile driver to get away with things like that.

5. Too many commericals---How about more racing and less breaks.

Okay, I am finished with my venting. Don't get me wrong, the Chase does add the excitement but it would be nice to see other drivers recognized for their accomplishments.

Next up...the 1st race in the Chase for the Championship. Should be interesting to see how the drivers not in the chase react to the ones that are.
