The NASCAR Chase for the Championship heads to high-speed Texas Motor Speedway in Ft. Worth this weekend with the eighth race of stock car's playoff se
discount nfl jerseysries slated for Sunday. Northville team owner Jack Roush continues his exclusive Chase diary in the Free Press today as his Roush Fenway Racing Ford-powered drivers Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth -- first and fifth, respectively, in the Chase -- battle Tony Stewart (second) and Kevin Harvick (third) with just three races remaining in the season.
There were a number of frustrated drivers and damaged cars emerging from the wreckage at Martinsville last weekend.
Brian Vickers must have been having a bad race there because he was involved in a number of the incidents. I hesitate to say, but he migh
cheap nfl jerseys free shippingt find a ride hard to get next season based on that performance.
Carl (Edwards) was back in the field much of the day at Martinsville but managed to get up for a ninth-place finish with a bit of luck and some smart driving.
Matt (Kenseth) got caught up in the Vickers mess and finished 31st, which dropped him to fifth in the Chase, 36 points out of first place.
It is disappointing because Matt has been a model of consistency all year and deserves better than that. But looking to Texas, the positive thing is he won the race there in April, and he'll be good again on Sunday.
Tony Stewart is making noise right now with three Chase victories, his latest at Martinsville.
discount nfl jerseysTony trails Carl by eight points and is doing plenty of talking. He's gunning for Carl and trying to get inside his head. We won't get caught up in his mind games. We'll let our cars do the talking on the track. We won't lose our focus, I assure you.
Roush has enjoyed good fortune at Texas, where we have won our share of races on the mile-and-a-half oval.
Carl has three Sprint Cup victories there and Matt has two wins. We have done well at Texas and at Homestead, the last race on the schedule. We have good
cheap nfl jerseys free shippingnotes from both tracks.
It's Phoenix next week that's the unknown. We should be able to maintain our position at Texas, but it is unfortunate that we have a newly paved, one-groove track like Phoenix after that. It will likely be a crapshoot there.
My other two Cup drivers, Greg Bif

Our goals at Texas -- provided we don't have mechanical issues or get caught in wrecks -- are for Carl and Matt to finish in the top five. In April, Matt raced to the win and Carl was third.
It could boil down to fuel economy on Sunday,

Our engine preparation has been excellent.
So, Texas, here we come, and let's hope people use their heads, not their bumpers, in the Lone Star state.
