Mike Lovecchio, Frontstretch.com -  Welcome to the Frontstretch LIVE Blog for the Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. The 8th Chase race of the season.

Mike Lovecchio, Frontstretch.com -  Kyle Busch will be going for the trifecta this weekend after winning the Truck and Nationwide races earlier this weekend.
2:47
Mike Lovecchio, Frontstretch.com -  He'll be starting from the 5th position today.
2:48
[Comment From OregonSHRFan]
That would be a monumental record but I don't think it will happen today for Kyle
2:48
Phil Allaway, Frontstretch.com -  Hello, fans.   It's sure to be a good race today from Texas Motor Speedway.
2:49
Mike Lovecchio, Frontstretch.com -  Neither do I SHRFan. I think you'll see Jimmie Johnson put the nail in the coffin today with a win. Busch is starting 5th today.
2:49
Phil Allaway, Frontstretch.com -  I hope that doesn't happen.
2:49
Phil Allaway, Frontstretch.com -  By the way, I'm liking this scientific feature right now.

[Comment From OregonSHRFan]
my picks are 1. Tony, 2. Flipper, aka Carl Edwards
2:50
Mike Lovecchio, Frontstretch.com -  Carl is my No. 2 as well.
2:50
Mike Lovecchio, Frontstretch.com -  That would be a big win for Roush Fenway. The team's 2nd in a row after a down season.
2:51
Phil Allaway, Frontstretch.com -  Definitely.   It's been a down season for Ford in general.   Up until last week, it had been 30 races since they had won.
2:52
Mike Lovecchio, Frontstretch.com -  If Johnson does indeed win today, I wonder how many fans won't even bother tuning in to the final two races.
2:53
Phil Allaway, Frontstretch.com -  Quite a few, unfortunately.
2:53
Phil Allaway, Frontstretch.com -  Me and my dad actually had a conversation about the race broadcasts yesterday.   I should note here that my dad is not really a race fan, just a fan of sports in general.
2:54
Phil Allaway, Frontstretch.com -  He thinks that the broadcasts should be catered more towards the hardcore fans than they are.
2:55
Mike Lovecchio, Frontstretch.com -  I agree, Phil. But NASCAR has been trying to cater to new fans for years now.
2:55
Phil Allaway, Frontstretch.com -  

Well, it doesn't seem to be working.   He's also as anti-Chase as I am.   He thinks that the normal person doesn't understand NASCAR's point system.
