Track Schedule for the CHEVY ROCK & ROLL 400

"One Last Race to Make The Chase"
The Chevy Rock & Roll 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Richmond International Raceway on Saturday, September 6 marks the final race before the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Once the checkered flag drops, only the top 12 drivers in the point standings will be eligible for the series championship, which will be decided over the final 10 races of the season.

Because the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 is the 26th race on the schedule, the race will serve as cutoff point, rendering the event "One Last Race to Make The Chase."

Some intense battles have been witnessed at the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 races over the past several years. This year is expected to be just as exciting, with so many talented drivers looking to earn a berth in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Who will be in and who will be out?

The Richmond Thread is up!

[NormsRevenge]

Holy Moley!!

Yup... This is the real Big One for a few drivers..

Lookin’ Good!

[JLS]

Ok, I looked a bit on the web today. Can any say what each driver currently in the chase must do to clinch their spot. I know Biffle basically just has to start.

[NormsRevenge]

Nope, but hopefully someone has a link handy.

That’s Racin’ is usually a good source.

[cleveland gop]

So+soon!

[LasVegasMac]

Thanks for da ping, NYT!

Richmond.....do or die for a few drivers, should be good.

I had no idea Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter was named, "Bristol"........cool.

So on a different thread, the link title is......

"Bristol is having a baby!".......and I'm thinking, "Ummm...what?"

All, forgot to add you to ping on post #426 last Nascar thread.

Short work week, got Friday off!

Remember, RIR is known for a lot of “fender bending” racing (it’s almost as bad Bristol). The chances are fairly good we could have an unpleasant Carl Edwards-Kyle Busch confrontation.

Dude! You sure are early!

Guess it’s that same time zone thing workin’. :)

[SouthTexas]

Or a pleasant one.

[NYTexan]

LOL...

I have two more threads to prepare and just wanted to get this one out of the way.

[NYTexan]

RIR has offered to let them get it out of their system before the race in a personal demolition derby.

Click the pick in the header.

NY Tex is scheduled to have his power turned off for the next week by Gustav...

That would not be a good thing, he hasn’t been in Texas long enough to have to deal with a hurricane. Speaking of, I better check and see where that thing is.

I think it’s finally predicted to go north.

[NYTexan]

I brought my 7000 watt generator along for just such an emergency!
