Then we kick it in to high gear as Tony and Carl battle for the Sprint Cup Title.

Monday: Look for a total weekend blog post about all the activities from the past weekend with my personal thoughts and info on our website nascarfridays.com as well as a link via twitter and facebook.

Hope everyone enjoys the weekend! 

While the chase for the sprint cup has squeezed itself into a 2 to possible 4 man race, Kyle Busch is right there......hurting his career.

First off I said it on Twitter/Facebook that very night, he's done. I have no idea what he was thinking but he just knocked his career back 5 stages. 

His actions on the track toward Ron Hornaday basically said "I don't like being bumped, i'm a jerk and Boom...you're out of my way now"

Well congrads kyle, now you are too! The first thing done was NASCAR banning him for the weekend. Wow, you had a chance to get involved for the chase and maybe win a sprint cup championship. Now, your chance is gone. It's over. And there's more

Later NASCAR decided to put him on probation. I knew that was coming considering his past actions. NASCAR is sick of him. As Rusty Wallace said on ESPN's broadcast "NASCAR told me once they didn't need me, i was replaceable" well Kyle is too.

Now, sponsors are upset. Joe Gibbs is upset. Everyone is upset. You've done it this time Kyle.

Don't be surprised if Joe fires Kyle, or if M&M's leaves at the end of the year. Just today Z-Line said they do not want Kyle racing their Nationwide car at Homestead Miami Speedway. Instead they're asking for Denny Hamlin.

While the chase is really growing between Carl and Tony (who is doing very well) and Kevin and Matt are still in it (depending on what they do this weekend), Kyle is starting to steal half the attention as former fans, team members, owners, sponsors and more begin to turn their backs on Kyle.

All I can say is...this was not a good decision by Kyle Busch and he is going to keep paying for it through the off season.

See you Friday on the show at 7pm est.

I don't know about you but after watching last weekend's race I really noticed some important things.

First, Jimme Johnson has some serious class. He is a one of a kind racer. To understand better, notice his interview on ESPN to why he didn't take out Tony Stewart at the end of the race. Clearly he could have! He could have taken him out and won that race!

But that's not Jimmie Johnson. Jimme said very clearly "That's just not right, its not how I race". WOW! For years i've often wondered if there was any class left in most sports, proof right there. He truly wants to win with respect for doing it the "right way". Bravo Mr. Johnson, that's the spirit I'd like to see others have.

There's nothing wrong with beating and banging during a race. However, at the end...that's just not right. When you do it just because you wanted to win isn't really racing, it's playing dirty. Kudos to Jimmie.

Also, Brian Vickers...man could you get in enough accidents? You know at the beginning or middle of the year when drivers are just racing, not really for chase points but just in general....it's ok to do what he did then. Crash a million times and come back out several laps down just to crash some more.

But to do it during a chase race where 12 drivers are seriously in jeopardy of getting SLAMMED in points because of it is plan silly. He should have noticed how many accidents he got into and caused. He for sure didn't make Jamie McMurry to happy now did he?

And fact is without Brian's last accident, Jimmie Johnson more than likely would have won the race. I'm not saying someone else wouldn't have crashed, i'm just saying Brian Vickers needs to learn to quit when he's ahead.

That was a terrible performance.

Great race though, Tony Stewart truly showed how willing he is to purse this year's title. Every issue in the book and yet at the end he won. It's going to be an awesome race at Texas

Tune into the show this Friday at 7pm, we're going to talk about this and I'd love your input!
