This episode is the latest from NascarFansView.com and JustAFansView.com and is a production of PodCastNorm dot Com with host Rusty Norman. It gives Rusty’s opinion of the race this weekend at Richmond Saturday evening September 10, 2016. This is the last race for drivers to qualify for the 2016 Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship.It is a particular challenge for the drivers and it does make for interesting and intense racing. Like any other NASCAR Cup race, there are a lot of drivers to choose from to pick as a winner. This particular one is another special one because it is not only the last race before the start of the Chase but it is also Tony Stewart’s last one, he is retiring at the end of this year. Jeff Gordon will be sitting in the driver’s seat for the recovering Dale Earnhardt Jr. once again as Dale has decided to take the rest of the year off to fully recover from his concussion symptoms and come back strong and ready for next season.

As is always the case, consistent lap times, getting in and out of the pits with no problems or penalties and a strategy that maintains good track position throughout the day will once again result in one of the forty drivers sitting in Victory Lane. Richmond always seems to offer some great racing right down to the Checkered Flag and, if for no other reason than this being the last chance for a few to qualify for the Chase and anything can happen at any time. As a general rule, it is a race where there is always the chance of a surprise finish along with a lot of drama right down to the drop of the checkered flag. These article/podcasts are usually once weekly podcasts and sometimes twice when events warrant it during the NASCAR season (which generally runs from February through the middle of November.) Rusty is a former hometown Stock Car driver and owner and his passion and love for the sport is evident as he shares his take and opinion of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series as the Season progresses from the season beginning at Daytona in February and ending with the Championship at Homestead, FL in November.
