NASCAR claims the Car of Tomorrow is safer for its drivers. But when Kevin Harvick’s car became the most recent to catch fire inside the cockpit, fingers were pointing at the foam that’s supposed to protect the drivers. Lee Spencer reports drivers are concerned.

Jeff Hammond knows how Jeff Gordon felt when Jimmie Johnson blocked the better car at Martinsville. Hammond carried that feeling to a championship, and he believes Sunday’s race will motivate Gordon toward his fifth title.

Two races featuring the new Car of Tomorrow - two thrilling drag races to the finish line.

Both finishes, however, came at the expense of the rough-and-tumble short-track racing that fans desire, leaving many to wonder if this new NASCAR-designed car might have inadvertently robbed drivers of the ability to pull off the beloved bump-and-run pass.

That or Jeff Gordon has gone soft.

While Hendrick Motorsports has won four consecutive races, the team’s newest driver, Casey Mears, has three finishes of 28th or worse over the same span. But Larry McReynolds sees the team starting to click. He also explains the driver vs. owner Chase.

Jimmie Johnson is on fire…So is Kevin Harvick’s foam! The points lead isn’t quite enough to satisfy Jeff Gordon…and Kenseth salvages another strong run out of a weak car.
