Jeff Gordon led the way for the Team Chevy banner by finishing second in last night’s AdvoCare 500 from the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Kevin Harvick turned in another great running coming home in the 5th place. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. (7th) and Paul Menard (8th) each got top ten finishes in the race. Kasey Kahne improved his chances of making the Chase Sunday with a 23rd place finish and Ryan Newman (35th) all but eliminated his chances. Below is reaction from those drivers and some others after the race. RYAN NEWMAN, NO. 39 U.S. ARMY MEDICINE CHEVROLET – Sidelined in multi-car accident on lap 269 “I think the 48 just ran out of room and it was unfortunate.  We have one chore to do with the U.S. Army team and that is to go into Richmond and win.  We have done it before and we can do it again.” BIG PICTURE, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS “It all depends.  If Kyle (Busch) or Jeff (Gordon) wins tonight, then there is no chance.  We still have a chance if they don’t.” JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S CH...

That, once again, supports how awesome the NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers are right now. These guys can run the speed that they were running at a mile-and-a-half track that offers little or no grip, slipping and sliding around, and do...

Kyle Busch's dominance at Richmond bode well for his Chase chances

Win and your in. It's actually simpler than than. Give up no more than 12 points to Jeff Gordon and no more than 40 points to Marcus Ambrose, and hope that fellow single win drivers Gordon, Ambrose, Ryan Newman nor Joey Logano win on Saturday night, and Rowdy makes The Chase. “Richmond is definitely a place where we would like to win.
