MARTINSVILLE, Va. Rain, specifically about Halloween weekend, brings out the craziness in a racetrack.

Take Friday at Martinsville Speedway, regarding example. We acquired Jeff Gordon talking around the time he dressed up upwards for Halloween like a "one nights stand" which has a lampshade on his head and also Dale Earnhardt Jr . dissecting the best way NASCAR has flattened the actual trying to play area much too much, what exactly he'd do to fix your two-car tandem racing at Daytona and also Talladega, and precisely how he'd dress up since Cale Yarborough in the event he / she were in the NASCAR-themed Halloween party.

We experienced Matt Kenseth kidding within the drawn strike Roush Fenway Racing teammate Carl Edwards threw during him in this article four issue as well as Kevin Harvick talking about what lengths he'd generate the actual policies to be able to acquire some sort of title.

It obtained consequently crazy that marilyn and i possessed Jimmie Johnson discussing exactly how they continue to includes a chance to win your sixth immediately championship.

Seriously?

Is right now there the whole celestial satellite behind all those clouds?

But whenever we just about all reconcile towards actuality on Sunday(1:30 p.m. ET, ESPN), when the awful weather condition is definitely gone and also we're returning that will racing, we could be referring to how a Chase features decrease to personal training drivers.

Maybe six.

With four backrounds remaining with the Sprint Cup season, you can find four motorists within just 26 points of chief Edwards, who may have your 14-point gain above second-place Kenseth. Nobody outside the top end personal trainer has rallied for you to earn this tournament under this Chase file format the following strong within the playoff, however the choices become fine we'll say of which Not yet, anyway.

But to keep this specific intriguing we'll wear out what exactly you possibly can expect from the very best five drivers as they definitely prepare for Sunday's race at this half-mile pieces of paper clip-shaped course as well as the remaining Chase. We'll use this because, because Harvick convinced us over the never-ending rainfall delays, "It's long from over."

As crazy because that could sound, they have proper while you look at all the numbers:

1. Carl Edwards (points leader)

He affirms he is nervous concerning Martinsville, as well as your dog need to be devoid of wins, just four top-10s including a 23rd-place surface within your spring. He should be tense related to Texas while well. Despite three is the winner there, he's complete 19th or worse in a pair of on the over three races there.

He was 28th at Phoenix inside spring, while well.

But Edwards is definitely comfortable by using the particular things cause and also seems being having a beneficial occasion with it, something

3. Brad Keselowski (-18)

We discuss in relation to wild-card monitors like Talladega plus Martinsville, but Keselowski may be the wild greeting card from the field. He isn't going to have got very much background on almost any in the tracks, and, when we have found considering his summer time resurgence, what little history she has isn't going to matter.

For that record, Keselowski's average conclude of 21.3 for your finalized four tracks is usually undoubtedly the worst from the contenders.

For this record, he does not care.

4. (-19) 5. Kevin Harvick (-26)
