There are only a few races before the final Race for the Chase is set. There are a couple of drivers on the bubble that well, it would be okay if they made it but I wouldn't be heartbroken over it. But then there are two..Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Jeff Gordon. It will take a miracle for Jr. to make it and I think Jeff has the best chance to make it. Will I be sad if Jr. doesn't make it? I guess more disappointed. If Jeff doesn't make it how will I feel? Neither driver is my driver but I like both of them. It will be weird if one or both don't make the Chase. Why you ask? Well, one sister follows Jr. and two follow Jeff Gordon. Me? I'm Tony Stewart. I know, I know, there is still that second prize of the winner of the remaining drivers. The monetary reward is nothing to sneeze at but it still is not a shot at the championship. That was my whole opposition to the Chase in the first place but that's another blog on another day. Back to the "what if they don't make it" issue. I have to think about how I would react if my driver didn't make it. First, I would be sad. Would I still want to watch races? Would I still root for my driver? You bet on both counts! I love racing and my driver is still racing. Besides, it ain't over until it's over! And I want to see who is standing at the end!
