TOM JENSEN's CHASE NOTEBOOK: With Jimmie Johnson’s third consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup title a foregone conclusion now, it looks as though Roush Fenway Racing teammates Carl Edwards (-141) and Greg Biffle (-203) are locks for second and third, respectively, with Jeff Burton solid in fourth at -269.

NASCAR CRAFTSMAN TRUCKS - OK, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series fans, try this one on for weird: Ron Hornaday Jr. crashed on the very first lap of the Lucas Oil 150 at Phoenix International Raceway, forcing him to the pits for 28 agonizing laps of repairs, en route to finishing 34 laps down in a 150-lap race. And in the process, he cut his points deficit to leader Johnny Benson in half with just one race left in the season.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Hornaday wrecked on the first lap, lost 28 laps in the pits and gained points in a race won by his teammate, friend and boss Kevin Harvick, who became the third different KHI driver to win in successive races. Click Here
