Would have been cool if Mikey could have pulled it off. They had a big ole head of steam.

After this race, it's pretty clear how ridiculous the points system for the Chase is.

Gordon gets dumped in race 1 of the Chase and finishes in the 30s, but follows that up with finishes of 2nd, 3rd, and 2nd.

He still sits in 5th place an entire race worth of points off the lead.

Don't get me wrong, Keselowski deserves the points lead, but if he gets dumped by JPM or Biffle being stupid early in a race, that ruins his chances.

The Chase drivers should have their own points system, say 12 points for first (among the chasers), 1 point for last (among the chasers) with usual point bonuses for Winning (2 Pts.), leading a lap (1 pt.), leading most laps (1 pt.).

Gordon could finish in the top five every race the rest of the way, but unless disaster strikes the 4 guys ahead of him, he's out of it because of one race.
