Matt Kenseth has begun the Chase on a tear, winning again at New Hamsphire International Raceway, capturing The Sylvania 300.
L&M Racing won the week in the Conway NASCAR League, with Smoke's Fury, Team Hot Stuff, CF Canes and Double Four Racing.

Crumpled up in the garage area with Bobby Labonte were Mountain Boy, DWL Racing, Kingpin Racing and Lisa Las Vegas.
The races are winding down and the chances to get a top ten finish are dwindling. This week we return to Dover International Speedway for the running of the AAA 400.
Dale Earnhardt Jr is on the pole, while Brad Keselowski was fastest in Happy Hour practice.
The green flag is scheduled to drop at 2:16PM
Good luck to all and keep the shiny side up!

Week 27 Commentary
After a wild night in Richmond, the Chase began in Chicagoland with the running of the GEICO 400. The race was rain delayed, twice, finally getting going at 10PM EST on Sunday evening. This was painful for those of us who were due in our offices early Monday morning. Additional lack of sleep hit those of us who watched a Wisconsin get robbed at Arizona State in Tempe at @2AM EST Sunday morning.
Matt Kenseth was our victor, and appears the favorite to win the Sprint Cup Championship. Dale Jr blew up late into the evening, likely ending his Chase chances.
Glynn won the week and is running point in the standings, ahead of 88AMPS, Man In Black Racing, Ricky Racer and GBR88, who is set to hire soon to be available Bo Pelini in the public relations department.
Finishing behind Glynn for the week were The Blue Deuce, BMF Lugnuts, SPC Racing and 88AMPS.
There were limited big movers, with BMF Lugnuts, O Racing and The Blue Deuce moving up and Little Circle Burner, No Ones Beatch and Smoke on the Horizon.
Chief Racing has been running his mouth on our Facebook page, but in the spirit of Deion Sanders, with whom he shares a birth date, he is backing it up, moving into the top ten.
This week we head to New Hampshire for the running of the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, NH. David Swindell jumps in the #30 Chevrolet, while Bobby Labonte returns to the #47 JTG Toyota. The green flag drops @2:15.

Week 26 Commentary
Richmond was an exciting place last Saturday night, and not just because of the door handle to door handle racing. It seems we had a handful of teams pulling some shenanigans in effort to adjust the finishing order to benefit their drivers, while others may have been paid to help an existing team or driver.
NASCAR was far from pleased.
Reportedly, NASCAR dropped the hammer on Micheal Waltrip Racing, fining them $300,000 with one of their drivers, Martin Truex, Jr., who had inched into the Chase, having been removed from Chase competition. Other team members were docked points.
Sponsors were reported to have been reconsidering their partnerships with MWR.
Ryan Newman, who appeared set to win the race prior to MWR driver Clint Bowyer having "intentionally"spinning out, was granted a position in the Chase by NASCAR. Joey Logano may have help by David Gilliland per radio conversation.
Jeff Gordon, who was seemingly in due to points before the orchestrated mishaps, was added to the Chase later in the week.
Other issues from the race, including Carl Edwards jumping the restart after the last caution, will be addressed in this morning drivers meeting.
2012 Spring Cup Champion Brad Keselowski failed to make the 2013 Chase.
Meanwhile, The Blue Deuce won the week, followed by Smoke's Fury, Ratattack Racing, Glynn and The Gas Man.
There were very few major changes in standings. Burke and The Blue Deuce made gains, while only BMF Lugnuts lost major ground.
Glynn has taken the lead, with 88AMPS, Man In Black Racing, Ricky Racer and Smoke's Fury rounding out the top five.
We begin The Chase in Chicago at Chicagoland Speedway as we run the GEICO 400. Joey Logano in our polesitter. Kasey Kahne was fastest in Happy Hour practice.
The green flag flies at 2:16PM.

Week 25 Commentary
The Labor Day weekend night race at Atlanta some tempers flare and some big time contenders have trouble, and in the end it was Kyle Busch victorious. Joey Logano and Jeff Gordon had a real good runs, while Clint Bowyer, Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski did not.
Lisa Las Vegas and Boris Head Racing tied for the win this week. Congratulations!
Hog Smoke Racing, D&D Racing and Punch rounded out the top five.
No Ones Beatch, Punch, D&D Racing, Hog Smoke and Lisa Las Vegas all moved up at least five spots. Fitz Racing was the only racer to drop five or more, with BAHL, Team Taser, Team Hot Stuff and Chevy Intimidators each falling four.
Man In Black Racing continues to show the way, with 88AMPS tucked in off the rear spoiler. Glynn, Ricky Racer and Mama's Boy round out the top five.
It is getting a little late in the going for Boy Racing, Inc to get all their teams tied in score as usual, but we are watching.
Many, several, teams rolled picks after this box change. This was designed to be a courtesy to our racers, but it is a pain to go fix scores and it took the Chief and I quite bit of time we don't have to fix them all. Not such a big deal during each segment, but a mess after a box change. Help us out next time. Of course, rolling at that time is not a good idea if you are seeking a good score.
For all you comedians out there, no, I did not roll my picks. I get my pitiful scores after exhaustive study and scoreboard manipulation.
You are going to have to find a second TV for Notre Dame and Michigan, because we are racing Saturday night at Richmond. RIR will not be the same without Smoke.
Speaking of Smoke, every substitute driver, including Mark Martin, has failed to get a quality run out of the car, which is top notch to be sure.
The Federated Auto Parts 400 will be on ABC and the field will be put under green at 7:44PM.
Good Luck. BAHL
