Chase Elliott couldn't get his car to pass tech, so he's starting from the back.

I like Brad Keselowski for the win, followed by Jimmie Johnson and Martin Truex, Jr.

[crazed 9.6]

I would so like to see Chase win this race, and even from the back :)

After last weekend and Hamlin tagging Elliot and taking him outta the chance for his first win,...
Chase Elliot for the win today !!!

Nice pass by Harvick, all he needed was a slip by Truex.

Congrats to Kevin Harvick who gets a pass to the final 4, followed by Martin Truex, Jr, and Denny Hamlin. Harvick and Elliott with the stages.

First win by Happy at Texas.

Truex also clinches a spot in the Championship 4. Brad Keselowski is on the bubble, but that last spot is up for grabs with a win.
