#NASCAR And so to Homestead for the finale. Things not looking so good for the #11 team after qualifying, but Denny Hamlin is not as flakey as a certain team mate and it looked for a while as though he had pulled it off. JJ has done this before though and he wound up the #48 to put the chase out of reach. Game over – who’d have thought it possible to win 5 in a row, but the chase has screwed up the championship race pretty thoroughly, so these things become possible.

If NASCAR want a 12 car short series then let them run one. The real cup should be about the whole field and the whole season. It’s why my interest in cup level racing has faded since they brought in this competition caution on the season, but there we go; I don’t make the decisions.

With most of the season done and dusted I’ll be doing just one more round up for 2010 to wrap up the #DTM, and then  I plan to report my thoughts on some of the off season events through the Winter. I’m also working on some retro related posts to bring my slant on events of past times in the way that I did for the Sid Collins eulogy for Eddie Sachs, and the first of these relates to Jim Clark and his final race with another coming along on the Ford GT40 at Le Mans. Watch out for these in the coming weeks.
