THE CHASE IS HERE Top 12 set to start playoffs in Joliet

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

T

he field for the Chase is set - again.

After the final 12 drivers were decided after Saturday night’s race in Richmond, NASCAR made an unprecedented move and replaced Martin Truex, Jr. with Ryan Newman in the Chase after citing that Newman’s Michael Waltrip Racing teammates, Clint Bowyer and Brian Vickers, intentionally manipulated the race while Newman held the lead, allowing Truex to earn a spot in the Chase.

Q&A

NASCAR SPECIAL | THE BUGLE SEPTEMBER 11, 2013

WITH ESPN ANALYST

Rusty Wallace

This weekend marks the third year in a row the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup opens at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet.

Voyager Media sports reporter Mark Gregory was able to talk to Hall of Fame driver and ESPN NASCAR analyst Rusty Wallace about the Chase set up and the big NASCAR story lines.

The interview took place prior to the NASCAR sanctions against MichaelWaltrip Racing and the removal of Martin Truex, Jr. from the Chase.

MG: Well, Rusty, the race for the Chase is over and the field is set, what are your thoughts on the top 12?

RW: My take on that race is it was just so damn exciting on who was going to make it and who wasn’t. If the caution didn’t come out at the end, Ryan Newman was going to win the race and he was in and Jeff Gordon would have made it, then Clint Bowyer spun out and it changed everything.As was all the drama in NASCAR and it was what the fans were hoping for. It was an amazing race for the Chase.

MG: The last two seasons, the driver that has won the first race of the Chase at Chicagoland has gone on to win the Spring Cup. Is that pure coincidence or do you feel there is that much momentum gained from winning the first race?

RW: I actually think it is a little bit coincidence, but I will tell you, and maybe I’m contradicting myself here, but I think Carl Edwards is really going good this year and he has his mojo going as I call it. His crew chief Jimmy Finning is a real veteran and a real smart, smart guy. They paired Jimmy and Carl and have seen results from the beginning. That car has been fast. Mileand-a-halfs are Carl’s specialty and for him to win on a short track last night, which surprised me, but he did good. I did not expect him to win on a short track, so this could be his year for a championship and a win here would help.

MG: What are your thoughts in general about the Chase opening at Chicagoland Speedway?

RW: We all love coming to Chicago. It is a great city and the race track is designed nice, its beautiful and we all enjoy it. I hope there is a good crowd there for the race, the attendance has been down more than I thought it should be, but this is a big, big race. It is a great place to kick off the Chase. I am a Midwest guy, I grew up in St. Louis and I like the place. I like the people that run it, I

like the family that owns it, I like the racing it puts on and there is nothing wrong with getting to hang out on Michigan Avenue a little bit and have something to eat.

MG: With eight laps left at Richmond and Ryan Newman leading the race, Clint Bowyer spun out, eventually leading to Michael Waltrip Racing teammate Martin Truex, Jr. making the Chase instead of Newman.You said on ESPN after the race you felt the spinout was not only intentional, but ordered by the team, do you still believe that?

RW:The whole thing looked peculiar. I only saw what we saw after the race and we were asked to report what we saw and from what we saw, it looked like he spun the car out on purpose to help his teammate.

He is the only one that knows that. We can all speculate all we want, but he is the guy that knows.

Personally, if that did happen, I think he was under extreme pressure from his race team to make him do that. I don’t think Clint himself would ever do that. I know Clint, he is a great guy and has very good character and I think that is team self-induced. I did actually meet with Michael Waltrip and Michael had no idea that happened. He saw everything and was surprised. It seemed like it all came from a spotter a crew chief and an engineer that all got together, if indeed that did happen.

I shouldn’t be dreaming all this stuff up, because I really don’t know.

MG: That being said, do you think that move will hurt Bowyer’s chances of winning the Chase? Do you expect drivers, like Newman who in his last 10 races with Stewart-Haas and out of the Chase, who have nothing to lose to retaliate and wreck the No. 15 at some point?

RW: I’m not avoiding the question, man, I just don’t know. I know if I was there and I got taken out by somebody that threw the race, if the race was actually thrown, by him spinning on purpose, yeah, I would be upset and disappointed with Clint.

MG: You drove for a long time and if stuff

Allen Kee / ESPN Images

like that happened when you drove no one would have known. With the technology today, we were able to see the in-car camera and hear the audio between Bowyer and his crew. While fans like to see all the lookins, is that technology a good thing?

RW: Everyone in the world has done that in the past. I know several drivers hat have spun out on purpose to bring a caution out or hit the wall and act like they can’t get off the wall or whatever.The problem now with these teams is that all the networks are monitoring all the radios and there are 30 or more cameras and then in-car cameras, so if you are going to do it, it’s not as easy to run and hide, but I will tell you, everyone did it.

MG: What are you most looking forward to heading into the Chase?

RW: This is going to be a helluva year this year with the new Gen6 car. That car has really proved to be a hot rod and it is breaking track records everywhere it has went. I think we are going to see a lot of great racing. I think we will see the 48 car of

Jimmie Johnson come out of his slump and take off like a rocket in Chicago and Carl Edwards has proved he’s got what it takes.

From there on out, the field is so equal. We have Kyle Busch in the Chase this year and Matt Kenseth in the new car for Joe Gibbs has been tremendously consistent. This mile-and-a-half is going to tell us a lot.

MG: If you had to pick now, who is your favorite to win at Chicagoland?

RW: To win this race, I am going to say Matt Kenseth. He has been strong and fast.

But, I can tell you, I have picked and picked and picked all year and haven’t got one right yet. But, me and the folks from ESPN all pick, but none of us have been right yet.

But, I do lead in points for getting closest, but that doesn’t mean a whole lot.

MG: Who is your favorite to win the Sprint Cup Championship?

RW: I keep wanting to say Johnson, but he has had so many problems. He has to come out of Chicago with a good race for me to say him again, but he is who I picked at the beginning of the year.

Patriot Day salutes 9/11 heros Village honors Sept. 11 first responders, victims during annual Patriot Day memorial service

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

Only 102 minutes passed from the time American Airline Flight 11 struck the north tower of the World Trade Center to the time the second building fell. In that short time, New York City first responders undertook the singlelargest rescue effort in the city’s history.

That effort was not without its sacrifice, as more than 400 fire, police and Port Authority personnel gave their lives in the process of rescuing more than 25,000 civilians from the World Trade Center and the surrounding area.

During Sunday’s 12th annual Patriot Day ceremony, the Westmont police and fire

departments, village staff and members of the community gathered to honor the heroism displayed by those first responders and the memories of the more than 3,000 people who died on Sept. 11, 2001.

“Westmont remembers and will never forget the horrific events of Sept. 11, 2001,” Westmont Trustee Sue Senicka said. “Today, on this 12th anniversary, we pause to remember all those who lost their lives as a result of this terrorist attack.”

Sunday’s memorial service featured appearances from Westmont Fire Chief David Weiss, Police Chief Thomas Mulhearn, the Rev. Michael Danek, a member of American Legion Post 338 and Westmont firefighter Daniel Sullivan. Several dozen

community members and police and fire personnel attended the event, which included ceremonies from the Westmont Fire and Police Honor Guards and the Knights of Columbus Council 3738.

A ceremonial ringing of the bell for fallen firefighters was administered in memory of the 343 New York City firefighters and paramedics that died on Sept. 11.

“Each year for the last 10 years, we have lost an average of 100

firefighters, but on one day 12 years ago, we lost three and a half times that number,” Weiss said.

Giordano’s files lawsuit against local pizzeria

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

A Chicago favorite, Giordano’s pizza, recently filed a lawsuit against a Downers Grove restaurant for unlawful use of the company’s trademark.

The lawsuit alleges that Giordano Fresh and Crispy Pizza Co., 2021 W. Ogden Ave., intentionally and “in deliberate and knowing disregard of

Giordano’s exclusive ownership rights” used the company’s trademark.

“Defendant’s use of the Infringing Mark in relation to its restaurant has caused confusion and is likely to continue to cause confusion in the marketplace in that the Infringing Mark incorporates the Giordano’s Mark and the services provided by the defendant under the Infringing Mark are identical to the services

provided by Giordano’s or its licensees..,” state’s a complaint filed with the U.S. District Court in Chicago.

Attorneys for VPC Pizza IP LLC, which owns the trademarks and intellectual property rights for the Giordano’s brand, say that the defendant in the case a direct competitor with a Giordano’s licensee also located in Downers Grove. The complaint also includes an email from an alleged

customer of Giordano Fresh and Crispy Pizza who claims they were mislead by that company’s name.

The email,which was submitted to Giordano’s website on Aug. 25, claims the customer went to the Ogden Avenue pizzeria in stead of the Giordano’s franchise on Main Street in Downers Grove, according to the complaint.

Attorneys for Giordano’s are asking that Giordano Fresh and

Crispy Pizza stop using what they are calling the Infringing Mark and damages.

“Giordano’s seeks injunctive relief and actual damages, including defendant’s profits derived from its unauthorized trademark use and Giordano’s cost and attorneys’ fees,” the complaint states.

A representative of Giordano Fresh and Crispy Pizza was not available for comment.

PATRIOT Continued from page 1 have made the ultimate sacrifice, and has become an honored tradition.”

The Rev. Michael Danek of Holy Trinity Catholic Church also addressed the crowd during Sunday’s service, praying for peace in the hearts of those affected by the Sept. 11 attacks and throughout the world.

“God of love, compassion and healing look upon us people of many different faiths and traditions, we ask you in your goodness to give eternal live and peace to all who died in the tragedy of 9/11,” Danek said. “But most especially, bring your peace to our violent world, so that peace may reign in the hearts of all men and among all nations on the earth.”

The village will hold a moment of silence and reflection Wednesday at 9 a.m. at 500 N. Cass Ave. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Woodridge police ramp up participation in September’s National Preparedness Month This September is National Preparedness Month, and the Woodridge Police Department has committed to participate in order to increase preparedness throughout DuPage, Will and Cook counties.

The event began in 2004 and is a nationwide, month-long effort hosted by the Federal Emergency Management Association’s Ready campaign, as well as Citizen Corps.

The purpose of NPM is to encourage households, businesses and communities to prepare and plan for emergencies. NPM’s key message is: be prepared in the event an emergency causes you

to be self-reliant for three days without utilities, water service, access to food stores or without response from police, fire or rescue.

Preparation for such an emergency starts with four important steps: • Be informed about emergencies that could happen in your community and identify sources of information in your community that will be helpful before, during and after an emergency; • Make a plan for what to do in an emergency; See NPM, page 3

Dillard names Tracy Village to award contract for fall as running mate

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

For the first time in the state’s history, candidates for governor and lieutenant governor will run on a single ticket in the primary for the 2014 election. This week, two candidates for governor announced their selections.

Gubernatorial candidate and current state Sen. Kirk Dillard, R-Hinsdale, announced Tuesday during a press conference in Quincy, that state Rep. Jil Tracy, R-Quincy, would be his running mate.

“Today I gratefully thank Senator Dillard for his confidence in me, and I proudly accept his offer to become his Lieutenant governor,”Tracy said.

The decision to choose the downstate representative looks to be an attempt to help broaden Dillard’s statewide appeal.During Tuesday’s press conference, he made several references to his and Tracy’s “downstate roots.”

“As a lawmaker from DuPage County, I understand that the economic vitality of this great state comes not just from Chicago, but from the small

towns and the larger downstate towns, the corn fields and the coal mines throughout the Land of Lincoln,” Dillard said.“Without question, should something happen to me, Representative.

Tracy can guide this state and guide it well.”

Tracy represents Illinois’ 94th District, which extends north from Monmouth south to Interstate 72 and runs along the state’s western edge. She was appointed to serve the remainder of Representative Art Tenhouse’s term in 2006, and has since been re-elected four times.

to make an emergency preparedness plan.

Woodridge Police Department’s local Emergency Management Coordinator, Sgt. William Hoogland, is encouraging residents to prepare a household supply kit, including water and daily medications that can sustain your family and pets for 3 to 5 days. The Woodridge Police Department would also like to remind residents to sign up for local emergency alerts through the village’s website at www. vil.woodridge.il.us.

Before becoming a state representative, Tracy worked as a private attorney and as an assistant Attorney General and as director of the West Central Illinois Regional Office.

So far, Republican State Treasurer Dan Rutherford is the only other gubernatorial candidate to announce his running mate. On Monday, he chose Steve Kim, a suburban lawyer, as his lieutenant governor.

Republicans Bill Brady and Bruce Rauner have not announced who they’ll share the ticket with.

Earlier this year, current Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon said she would not seek re-election. Gov. Pat Quinn and Democratic hopeful Bill Daley have not made yet their choices known. jsamples@nuglenewspapers.com

road patch work

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

The village of Downers Grove is expected to award Schroeder Asphalt Services a $236,170 contract for a fall roadway patching project.

This project, part of the village’s overall 2013 roadway maintenance program, includes milling and overlay of disintegrating sections of asphalt pavement identified by staff for repair in preparation for winter plowing and spring sweeping.

“This contract allows us to patch sections of streets that we plan to get to in approximately between the years 2015 and

2017 for resurfacing,” Director of Public Works Nan Newlon said at the Sept. 3 Village Council Meeting. “This will allow us to continue to plow and to sweep these streets until we are able to get into those neighborhoods and complete those resurfacings.”

Schroeder Asphalt completed a similar roadway patching project for the village in 2012.

They were the lowest of five bidders for the 2013 contract.

The village heard a first reading of the proposed contract during its Sept. 3 meeting, and the council is expected to approve the contract at an upcoming meeting.

News Briefs Effective stormwater policy equals savings for residents The village’s ongoing efforts to effectively manage stormwater will result in a 20 percent flood insurance premium discount for property owners within the floodplain beginning May 1, 2014.

This represents a 5 percent increase in discounts over the current rates as part of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

On Aug. 16, the village was notified that FEMA agents were recommending Downers Grove’s rating under the NFIP Community Rating System (CRS) be improved from CRS 7 to CRS 6, resulting in greater insurance premium discounts for property owners in

the floodplain. There were over a dozen stormwater best practices and activities in place by the village that were recognized by the rating agency.

Some of these practices include village flood protection standards, local flood studies, and open space preservation. Overall, the improved rating points to the effectiveness of the village’s proactive approaches to flood risk mitigation and stormwater management.

Although the discounts apply to floodplain properties only, all properties in Downers Grove can purchase flood insurance because the village participates in the NFIP. Go to www.floodsmart.gov to find out more about flood insurance for your home or business.

ForuM Letter to the Editor HB 1522 ignores constitution Our politics has reached a new low when the elected representatives who have sworn to uphold the Illinois State Constitution and the U.S. Constitution, choose to ignore it.

The Illinois General Assembly passed House Bill 1522 - the rainwater tax- and Governor Quinn then signed it in July. This law applies only to Peoria and DuPage Counties. Whereas the taxpayers in Peoria will vote whether to accept this tax, DuPage residents do not have the same opportunity, according to the law.

This law does not provide equal protection - therefore, it is

unconstitutional.

These lawmakers have violated our trust and their fiduciary responsibility to those they were elected to protect.

The law was sponsored by Ronald Sandack, Mike Fortner, Darlene Senger and promoted

by County Board Chairman Dan Cronin and the DuPage County Stormwater Committee. This is another source of revenue for these tax and spenders. Remember this when you vote in March 2014.The voting booth is our only method of limiting their terms in office.

District 58 sports camps a success again Herrick Middle School’s annual summer sports camps for District 58 athletes, including basketball, volleyball and a new cross country offering, were a huge success again this year.

Herrick provided two sessions of the basketball camp, one in July and one in August, in order to accommodate the growing popularity of the camp.

Nearly 100 incoming fifth through eighth grade boys and girls from around District 58 participated in the three sessions each week, run by Herrick coaches Dean Pentaris and Nicole

Trezzo. As always, the coaches stressed the fundamentals and skills of the game of basketball by providing competitive drills campers could also work on individually.

“Our goal is to teach the fundamentals and rules of the game of basketball by providing each player the opportunity to learn through various drills and competitions. This allows for skill development not only through the week of camp, but hopefully the months that follow,” Pentaris said.

Approximately 100 fifth through

eighth grade students participated in Herrick’s one week coed volleyball camp, coached by Chuck Justis and Christy Greenblatt with assistance from several Downers Grove North volleyball players.

“Once again it was a great week, either teaching new skills to our younger groups or refining the skills of our more experienced players,”Justis said.

Herrick also held its first cross country camp for incoming fifth through eighth graders in June, led by two of Herrick’s cross country coaches: Steve Gross and

School District honors employees During the opening day workshop at the Tivoli Theatre, DownersGrove Grade School District 58 honored 18 employees for their long service tostudents.

Also honored thisyear for reaching service milestones were:

30 years of service Lori Baum, Henry Puffer;William Kilgore, Herrick; Julie Plepel, Whittier

25 years of service Diane Peterson, Henry Puffer; Mary French, Indian Trail; Pat Brown, Lester

20 years of service Brian Zak, Indian Trail; MaryAnn Staroscik, ASC; Geoff Neustadt, Maintenance Mechanic; Carolyn Murphy, Henry Puffer; Diane McIlvane, Kingsley; Todd McDaniel, Henry Puffer; Jane Ingersoll, Pierce Downer; Rich Holmgren, Indian Trail; Nancy Herkes, El Sierra; Christy Gergits, Whittier; Dave Bolton, Herrick

Downers North ‘D” notches another shutout

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Downers North has been a model of consistency on both sides of the ball while cruising to two straight victories to open the 2013 season.

The Trojans’ 28-0 blanking of West Suburban crossover opponent Hinsdale South in their home opener last Friday was their second shutout in as many weeks. Meanwhile, DGN’s backfield, with quarterback David Edwards and running backs Kyle Leto and Charles Creamer, combined for 267 rushing yards versus the Hornets.

The trio compiled 220 yards on the ground in DGN’s Week 1 45-0 victory over Lockport.

DGN was whistled for two personal fouls during the first half, but Trojans coach John Wander said he’s going to look at game film before he passes judgment on the calls.

“I know defensively we had a couple of stupid, disciplined things,” he said. “(But) I don’t know if they were or not. I really want to sit down and watch (the film). Our kids had been playing with pretty good discipline.

We had, I think, three or four personal fouls. That’s football, but I didn’t scold any of them for being that blatant.”

What’s blatantly obvious was the Trojans’ dominant defensive effort. DGN limited Hinsdale South to 97 yards of total offense and three first downs—two of which were by penalty. Hinsdale South moved into Downers North territory just once the entire evening.

“They’re flying around right now and are hitting,” Wander said. “If we continue to do that, we’ll be in all the games.”

Downers North scored on its opening drive of the contest, capped by Edwards’ 1-yard run.

Midway through the second

quarter, Edwards upped the Trojans’ lead to 14-0 on a 4-yard run that capped a 12-play, 72yard drive.

Edwards finished with 87 yards on 19 carries—73 yards of that total coming in the first half— but he gave plenty of props to his offensive line.

DGN’s all-senior O-line consists of Brian Grippando, coverted defensive lineman Matthew Holecek, John Stanicek, Phillip Urbanski, Ryan Policheri and Jalen Reams, with Policheri and Reams providing some nice size at 250 and 265 pounds, respectively.

“I think our offensive line did a great job, as did our defense,” Edwards said. “Another shutout; that just put us in a good position to win. I think our defense definitely does a good job of getting us short fields. I simply like our blocking.They (Hinsdale South) had some very, very large tackles, and they (the offensive line) definitely held their own against them.”

Following a scoreless third quarter, Edwards went to the air, connecting with senior wideout Vontae Diggs for a 36yard touchdown. Senior Gareth Jones’ blocked punt on Hinsdale South’s ensuing series led to a 28-yard touchdown run by Creamer with 6:22 left. Creamer totaled 99 yards on 12 carries, and Leto added 81 yards—the exact number he finished with against Lockport.

“Kyle and Charles are doing a good job,” Wander said. “Charles has really come on for us. He was a special teams player last year and has real good speed.

“He’s caught on, and he’s made our offensive a three-headed monster. If we can throw a little bit better—David did not have a good night throwing tonight (2 of 5, 47 yards, one interception)—then we have a four- and five-headed monster.”

Mike Sandrolini/Bugle Staff

Downers North linebacker Dan Izewski (49) wraps up Hinsdale South’s Jake Czajkowski in the Trojans’ 28-0 win Friday.

Jones also picked off a pass for DGN that ended the first half. Diggs, Zachary Dutcher and Grant Kasal each registered

a tackle-for-loss for the Trojans, who don’t need to be reminded of who they’ll host on Friday night: defending Class 7A

state champion Glenbard West (see related story) in the West Suburban Silver opener. mike@buglenewspapers.com

BMW Championship returns to Chicago The BMW Championship is back in Chicagoland this year after being played in Carmel, Indiana last year due to the Ryder Cup being in Chicago.

However, Cog Hill won’t be the site of the tournament as its run ended two years ago due to players not liking the renovation.

That leads to Conway Farms G.C. in Lake Forest making its first appearance on the PGA Tour.

The course, which opened in 1991, is a par-71. Here are some of the storylines I see for this year’s BMW.

CONWAY FARMS Everyone will be interested to see the layout of the new course. It got rave reviews from Tour pro Luke Donald, who is a member there. With how well the BMW fared last year outside of Indianapolis, the success at Conway Farms will go a long way in determining the future of PGA Tour golf in Chicago.

I anticipate positive reviews and larger crowds on the north side of town than there was in Lemont on football weekends.

PHIL There was no bigger proponent to the PGA leaving Cog Hill than Phil Mickelson, who bashed the course last time he was here. It will be interesting to see how he does at the new course. He was also very confident of his golf game after the first round of the Deutsche Bank Championship when he held the lead, but he could not improve his score the rest of the week and finished out of contention. Phil has to like the new course as he never was much of a threat at Cog Hill, but I don’t see him contending in a place that typically favors Tiger.

TIGER Speaking of Woods, Tiger has to be one of the pros the least happy with the change. He was very successful through the years at the Western Open and BMW Championship, winning five times at Cog Hill. Now he will test his luck at a brand new course, something Tiger hasn’t had the greatest success with.

However, Chicago is Tiger’s Town and I think he will be in contention after struggling at the Deutsche Bank.

See BMW, page 15

Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Tiger Woods has had success in Chicago, but will be playing an unfamiliar course in Conway Farms.

Sports CHASE Continued from FRONT a caution and Vickers mysteriously pitting giving up track position.

“Based upon our review of Saturday night’s race at Richmond, it is our determination that the MWR organization attempted to manipulate the outcome of the race,” said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition. “As the sport’s sanctioning body, it is our responsibility to ensure there is a fair and level playing field for all of our competitors and this action today reflects our commitment to that.”

Truex and Newman had finished tied for the second Wild Card position, with Truex earning the spot on tiebreakers.

Jeff Gordon, who was also impacted by the happenings, was not placed into the Chase.

It is only the second time he has missed the playoffs.

After the race, Bowyer denied doing it intentionally.

“My car was tight as hell,” Bowyer said. “The 48 blew a tire and hit the wall. I’m telling you, I

was the next one. That thing slid, what, maybe less than 10 feet and blew out. You know what I mean?

Something was going on there.

I’ve been doing this a long time.

It is what it is. It’s unfortunate. I know it’s a lot of fun for you guys to write a lot of whacky things. Go ahead if you want to, get creative.

But don’t look too much into it.”

NASCAR did say they did not find conclusive evidence that Bowyer’s spin was intentional, which is the main reason no direct actions were taken against him.

“There is not conclusive evidence that the No. 15’s spin was intentional,” said NASCAR President Mike Helton.“There was a lot of chatter and the video shows a car spinning, but we didn’t see anything conclusive that it was intentional.The preponderance of things that happened by Michael Waltrip Racing Saturday night, the most clear was the direction the No. 55 driver (Vickers) was given and the confusion around it and then the conversation following that occurrence is the most clear part of that preponderance.”

NASCAR also fined the MWR organization $300,000 and indefinitely suspended Ty Norris, MWR Executive Vice President/

General Manager and spotter for the No. 55 car, for violating Section 12-4. The three crew chiefs – Brian Pattie (Bowyer), Scott Miller (Vickers) and Chad Johnston (Truex) – have all been placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31.

One driver who remains out is defending champion Brad Keselowski. He is the first defending champion to miss the Chase since Tony Stewart missed in 2006.

With the reseeded points, Matt Kenseth leads the way by three points over Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch heading into Chicagoland Speedway.

“I am proud of my team obviously for putting us here,” Kenseth said. “We’ve had really a terrific 26 weeks, led some laps, and are fortunate enough to win some races. I am excited to be up on top. I am looking forward to Chicago and kicking off. It feels like it’s been a really long first twothirds of the season. I’m ready for the Chase to start, excited about the stuff we got going for Chicago.”

Busch, a former NASCAR bad boy, was one of the feel-good stories of the night, as he made

THE BUGLE SEPTEMBER 11, 2013 the Chase in the 10th and final position with the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing machine. It is the first time in the history of the Chase format that a single-car team has made the Chase.

“It’s been a journey,” Busch said.

“It’s been a great ride of trying to persevere and going up against the odds when certain things are against you that are out of your control and sometimes you induce things that put you in a position where you have to dig hard and keep working. To make the Chase with these guys is an unbelievable feeling. It’s been an 18-month work in progress, and I’ve been through a lot, and I’ve learned a lot, and I feel like I’m better ready for the Chase and life in general as a 35-year old.

“It’s something special we achieved tonight, to put a single car into the Chase. We have our friends, other drivers. But yet it’s every man for themselves out there. We have some muscle left in us. We have a great 10 weeks ahead of us. We have a test session we’ve saved. I think we can make a run through this Chase. We just

13

have to do the same thing we did tonight: keep plugging away, let everybody else worry about what has to happen and we’ll keep doing what we’re doing out in Colorado because nobody can look over our shoulder.”

Busch announced last week he will leave Furniture Row after this his only season with the team and race next year in the fourth car for Stewart-Haas Racing.

Busch is one of only four drivers to ever win the Chase in the new format, as he claimed the title in 2004, the first season.

Tony Stewart won in 2005 before Jimmie Johnson went on his run of five straight titles from 20062010. Stewart won again in 2011, the first year the Chase began in Joliet, with Keselowski winning last year.The last two seasons, the winner of the race at Chicagoland has gone on to win the Sprint Cup Championship.

Neither Keselowski or Stewart (broken leg) made the Chase this season.

The Chase for the Sprint Cup will kick off Sunday at 1 p.m. from Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet.

Tzakis sisters set the pace for Benet

The Redwings have senior No. 1 singles,LeahTzakis,seeking her third trip to Arlington Heights in October, but can Benet produce a doubles tandem that makes it to the state tourney? As the 2013 season gets under way, the Redwings will be minus an intact returning state-qualifying doubles team, or part of one, for the first time since 2008.

Their three-time qualifying team, Mary Beth King and Daniella Reyes, has graduated, but new girls coach Michael Hand is optimistic the defending ESCC champions can make some noise during the postseason.

“We lost a lot of great players last year, but we have a great core of returning players and newcomers,” Hand said. “We hope to be competitive for conference and sectionals.”

Tzakis returned to state last year for the first time since her freshman season. She won four state matches, made it to the fifth round of consolation and was an honorable mention all-stater. Tzakis is joined once again by her sister, Coco, a sophomore who was Benet’s No. 2 singles players last season and finished second at the ESCC tournament. Coco is ranked 21st among the top 100 sophomores in the state, according to the tennisrecruiting.net site, and Leah is 16th among seniors.

“Leah is an excellent player with a great sense of the game,” Hand said. “She works hard and has improved every year from her freshman year. She has powerful ground strokes and is not afraid to come to the net. She works well with the rest of the team, and enjoys having Coco (with her). The two work well together and are great for each other as practice partners.”

Senior Maggie Wilhelm was part of Benet’s No. 2 doubles team that placed first at the ESCC tourney, while senior Shea Gallagher was part of the Redwings’ No. 3 team which also captured an ESCC crown.

Juniors Sarah Callahan and Annie McGuigan, along with freshman Katie Telford, are varsity newcomers who will complement the returnees.

•Downers North graduated a number of seniors from the 2012 team and has three remaining letterwinners, all of whom are seniors: Karly Weber, Gabriele Ruzgas and Vasilia Chiganos.

Juniors Elizabeth Coughlin, Sonia Gaur, Hannah Henry, Samantha Kiluk,Taylor Laughlin, Mary Margaret McMahn, Jessica Owens and Alayna Swart are joined by sophomore Giselle Downs on the varsity club.

•Downers South, like Benet, returns one singles player who qualified for state, but the Mustangs have graduated two state-qualifying doubles teams.

Junior Christine Pavlov advanced downstate; she also made the All-West Suburban Silver team along with senior Grace Prete and junior Tiffany

“We lost eight starters and are full of newcomers so our challenge will be to learn quickly and adapt,” said Downers South coach Pete Freischlag, whose team posted an 18-6 dual record

last fall and won the conference championship.

•Lisle, which edged Timothy Christian, 4-3, in its first dual meet of the year, has a young squad, with only one senior, Goda Inokaityte, on the roster.

Notebook: Events around the GEICO 400 Here are some events dealing with the GEICO 400 Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway Sunday.

RACE FAN RALLY SET FOR SEPT. 12 For the third consecutive year, NASCAR and Chicagoland Speedway will team up to bring the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Hauler Parade to Downtown Joliet on Thursday, Sept. 12.

More than 30 haulers, from Dale Earnhardt Jr. to Jimmie Johnson to Matt Kenseth, will thunder through the streets of Joliet for fans to enjoy as the first race in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup returns to Chicagoland Speedway.

Race fans are invited to gather at Hollywood Casino Joliet at 4 pm (trucks depart at 4:30 pm), to get up close to the haulers and take photos prior to the start of the Parade, which is scheduled to begin at 5 pm.The parade will stage west of the river bridge on Jefferson Street before heading east bound on Jefferson and making a left on Scott Street.

The Chicagoland Speedway pace car and fire safety vehicles will lead the parade north on

Scott Street, before making a left onto Jackson, and then a left on Ottawa to head south en route to Chicagoland Speedway.

Fans can watch the Hauler Parade from anywhere along the route (including the start at Hollywood Casino), but are encouraged to attend designated viewing areas at McBrody’s Bar and Grill (73 W. Jefferson St.), The Joliet Historical Museum (201 N. Ottawa) and the Joliet Public Library (150 N. Ottawa).

The Hauler Parade is part of Joliet’s Race Fan Rally, taking place from 4 to 10 pm on Sept.

12. Race Fan Rally is celebrating its 12th anniversary and features games, a classic car show, driver appearances, live music and fun for the entire family.

Chicagoland Speedway campers already on-site will also have a designated viewing area in the Gate 5 reserved parking lot, located on the north side of the facility.

The Hauler Parade is estimated to arrive at The Speedway by 6 pm. The lot will not be open to the public.

Kevin Harvick will highlight the rally this year as the first A-List driver to sign autographs in downtown Joliet for the

event.

Harvick, driver of the No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet, will depart Richard Childress Racing at the end of this season and join Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014.

CHICAGOLAND GOES COUNTRY Danielle Bradbery, the 17-yearold Texas native who sang her way into the national spotlight on Season 4 of ‘The Voice’, will perform the national anthem prior to the GEICO 400 on Sunday, Sept. 15, at Chicagoland Speedway.Bradbery, who coach and country star Blake Shelton described as “the most important artist to ever walk across The Voice stage,” recently released her debut single, “The Heart of Dixie,” which made its entrance at No.1 on the iTunes country chart and No. 16 on Billboard’s Hot Country Charts.

During her time on ‘The Voice’, Bradbery’s renditions of country classics were responsible for more iTunes downloads than any other contestant in show history.

Bradbery will join label mate

Brantley Gilbert at Chicagoland Speedway, when he performs an infield pre-race concert prior to the GEICO 400, the first race in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. While all fans with a Sunday race ticket will be able to enjoy the concert from the grandstands, Pit and Infield Fan Zone Experience pass holders will be able to walk down to the infield to enjoy his No. 1 hits such as “Country Must Be Country Wide” and “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do.”

The CocaCola Family Track Walk program is an experience that encourages health and happiness and brings the community together. It provides thousands of fans with the chance to get out and get active by taking a lap of their own with their favorite drivers – on foot.

Chicagoland Speedway

Benet soccer wins Best of the Midwest Tournament Benet’s boys soccer team won its first Best of the West Tournament title since 2006, defeating Naperville Central in a back-and-forth contest, 3-2, on Saturday night.

Paddy Lawler put the Redwings (5-1) in front 1-0 with a goal early in the game, but the defending champion Redhawks knotted it up at 1-1 at around 26 minutes of the first half.

Naperville Central then grabbed a 2-1 lead five

minutes into the second half, but Kyle Kenagy scored on a header to force a 2-2 tie.

Michael Rindler tallied what proved to be the game-winner with around 18 minutes to go following a corner kick from Sam Knapke.

Earlier on Saturday, Benet advanced to the title matchup by shutting out Naperville North, 1-0. Kenagy netted the Redwings’ lone goal on a cross from Rindler.

Konrad Bayer, a sophomore,

recorded the shutout in goal.

In second-round play on Sept.

5, the Redwings nipped Neuqua Valley, 3-2. Neuqua grabbed a 1-0 lead, but goals by Knapke and sophomore Daniel Morefield— his first varsity goal—made it 2-1.

Neuqua forced a 2-2 tie with a goal at the 16:54 mark of the second half; however, Kenagy got the decisive tally on an assist from Morefield.

Benet defeated Bartlett 5-1.

Kenagy scored four goals and

Rindler added the other.

Downers North to tackle defending champs

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

The Trojans’ defense has yet to be scored on so far this season, and their backfield is grinding out yardage and finding the end zone in convincing fashion.

But Downers North coach John Wander stated the obvious following last week’s 28-0 whitewash over Hinsdale South that all of the above will be challenged—and then some— when defending Class 7A state champion Glenbard West invades Carstens Field on Friday night.

“Oh, yeah, we all know that,” Wander bellowed with a laugh.

Hilltoppers head coach Chad Hetlet and some of his coaching staff were on hand to scout the Trojans-Hinsdale South matchup.

The next day, Glenbard West destroyed visiting Morton of the West Suburban Gold, 68-7, which had to help take some of the sting out of dropping its seasonopener to Wheaton Warrenville South—the Hilltoppers’ first loss in two years.

However, keep in mind that Morton is Morton. The hapless Mustangs haven’t had a winning football season since Morton East and West high schools merged their athletic programs in 1985. The Hilltoppers want to reestablish themselves as the class of Class 7A, and what better way to do that than to defeat the Trojans—a Class 7A quarterfinalist last season—on their home field.

Like DGN, Glenbard West’s bread and butter is its backfield.

What should give the Trojans even more cause for concern is that Hetlet has said this year’s backfield— quarterback Drew Vogg,running back ScottAndrews (who rushed for 1,300 yards in 2012) and complementary back Jermon Joyner—is in the best shape he’s ever seen it during his seven years as coach. Glenbard West’s offensive line is led by North Carolina State recruit Eric Shute.

The Hilltoppers also are

well-stocked defensively. Safety Hayden Carlson, a three-year starter, is being heavily recruited.

Glenbard West’s overall depth is such that Hetlet moved fullback Devante Toney and tight end Connor Schrauth to the defensive line this year. The Hilltoppers possess a potent core of linebackers, as well, with Grant Greeno and Jordan Hassan.

“Glenbard West, they’ve always had a great team and they’ve always had a great program,” Downers North quarterback David Edwards said. “We have to be extremely precise and have a great week of practice for

Glenbard West.”

The Trojans will have senior wideout-defensive lineman Richard Olekanma back for the Glenbard West game. Olekanma, who has verbally committed to Toledo, suffered a high ankle sprain during the preseason and missed DGN’s first two games.

“I’m coming back to practice Monday and I’ll be ready to go on Friday,” Olekanma said following the Hinsdale South game.

Olekanma said he’s looking forward to the challenge of playing the defending state champions.

“I think it will be good,” he said.“They are good team and we

are a good team. I just think it’s going to be one hell of a game.

I’m glad I can be a part of it.

“We have to play our best football, better than what we’ve shown so far, but I think we can do it. There are some things that we’ll go back to the film room (for) and we’ll look to improve for this week.”

When asked what the Trojans need to do against Glenbard West, Wander replied:“Play good, sound football. Our kicking game has been sound right now, don’t turn the ball over, and I think it’s going to be one (heck) of a game.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

Be brilliant ... by making others look smart Q. I work with a new guy that I think is stupid. I don’t mean that to be insulting, but I really think he is not very bright. He doesn’t seem to remember what I say, gets easily confused and struggles to figure anything out. Do you have ideas on how to diplomatically get him to perform better?

A. Yes, intellectual capacity varies wildly in people in any workplace.

Researchers estimate that even more than a 10 point difference between people creates communication problems.You need to tailor how you speak to where your coworker is on the IQ curve.

Most people don’t think of intelligence as an interpersonal issue, but understanding how to work with people higher or lower than you is critical to

effectiveness.The majority of people have an average IQ of 100.

Every 10 points you are above or below takes you further into a category with dramatically smaller numbers.

Gifted programs in most school districts start at 128 to 135 IQ. People who have an IQ of 145 and up are a small number. People who have an IQ over 155 make it into the scary smart category and have often had social issues their whole life.

Where you are on the IQ scale isn’t what makes or breaks effectiveness.

What you do with your IQ is the key to being successful.

You can pretty much tell if someone is faster or slower than you are because someone who is slower will frustrate you and someone who is faster will be

hard to follow. Here is a general guide to working well both up and down the IQ curve: 1) If when you interact the other person tracks you, remembers what you say, and you find it easy to understand him or her, just do what is natural.You are at the same level, and this coworker doesn’t need you to change your style.

2) If you are consistently irritated and surprised that a coworker doesn’t get your point, slow way down. Instead of verbally describing directions, take the person and physically show them the process, then have them do it, and then have them write it down.

3) If you find yourself barely able to follow a coworker, they are probably irritated with you.

Admit you can see they are very skilled, and ask them to provide more detail.When someone is very smart, they will normally

Medical bills vs. the cost of college Dear Dave, My wife and I make together about $100,000 a year, almost $50,000 in an IRA and no debt except for our home.The problem is I’ve had several health issues lately, and we’ve diverted a lot of money we’d put into saving and investing toward medical bills. We also have two kids in high school who want to go to college. Do you think we should cash out the IRA to help send our boys to school?

Jeff Dear Jeff, You guys make $100,000, and expenses at a good instate school would be roughly $17,000 a year. If I were you, I’d trim the household budget and make the kids get to work.

Look around and see what you can sell, too.There’s no reason you all can’t pull together and cash flow an education for these guys.

Providing an education for your kids is a noble pursuit, but you’re low on money right now because of health problems and medical bills.You didn’t do anything wrong to create this scenario. It was just a case of

life happening. So, you shouldn’t feel ashamed to sit down with your kids and say,“Okay, serious talk time.You guys know what’s happened recently, so if you want to go to college, you need find a good, affordable institution and start applying for every available scholarship.

You also need to plan on working after school and on weekends—now and when you’re off at college—and saving money like crazy.Your mom and I will help out some, but we all have to pull together to make this happen.”

There’s a better way to do this than borrowing money and going into debt.There will be times when it’s not easy, but walking around with student loans hanging over your head—or nothing set aside for retirement—is no fun, either!

—Dave

Big car debt, small income Dear Dave, My mom has about $35,000 worth of debt from a $17,000 car and $18,000 in student loans. She makes $20,000 a year.

How can she get out of this mess?

Christina Dear Christina, No one needs a car that’s worth nearly all of their yearly income.That’s just ridiculous.

If you listen to me on the radio, I’m sure you’ve already heard me say what I’m about to say now—sell the car! That will get rid of almost half her debt, then find her a little $2,000 beater to drive until she can save up for a better car.

Remember this simple rule: Never buy a car that costs more than half of your annual income.

Also, never go into debt to buy a car. Automobiles go down in value like a rock, and you never want that much money wrapped up in something that’s depreciating.

We also have an income issue here.Your mom has to do something in the short term to get her income up and pay off debt.A part-time job nights and weekends would be a really good idea.Then, she needs to address her long-term situation with an eye toward a decent job.Whether it’s more formal education or technical training in a particular field, she needs to find a career that will significantly increase her income.

—Dave

speak one sentence and think you get it.You will need them to speak paragraphs or pages about that issue to follow them.

Everyone in the workplace learns best when they experience new data through multiple senses.When they visually see the process, then hear the directions, then physically engage in doing the activity and even write the instructions, most everyone anchors a new skill into their memory.

If we’re teaching very smart people, they learn faster with less repetition. If we’re teaching people with less intellectual capacity, they need a lot of exposure through every sense, usually more than once.

Since most of us have considered being called dumb an insult and being called smart a compliment, it is easy to be quite judgmental of where we and others fall on the IQ curve.The

truth is that the workplace is a large world where there are jobs for people at every IQ level.

If we pull out of judging ourselves and others as better or worse on intelligence, and think instead of simply needing to translate our language to people faster or slower, we’ll make everyone’s job easier.

There’s another great side effect of learning to communicate with everyone on the IQ curve. Since everyone will understand you, you’ll actually appear to be the smartest person in the room!

By Sue Hubbard, M.D. www.kidsdr.com

The Dallas County Health department recently notified me about two cases of measles in the Dallas area (in June) and nine new cases reported in Fort Worth. All doctors in our area have been asked to be vigilant about vaccinating, as well as considering a measles diagnosis when symptoms are compatible with the infection.

Measles is a viral illness that causes fever, runny nose, cough, conjunctivitis and a whole body red rash. Complications can be serious, including pneumonia, ear infections, encephalitis, even death.

Unfortunately, ours is not the only area experiencing a measles outbreak. A total of 129 cases of measles have already been reported across the U.S. this year (compared to only 54 cases in 2012). “Pockets” of measles have reported in New York City (58 cases) and in North Carolina.

Most cases of measles in this country have been “imported” by people who traveled outside the U.S. and developed symptoms

upon their return. Measles, like several other illnesses, has not been eradicated in many parts of the world.

Jet travel allows diseases to be easily imported; a single carrier on a plane can expose hundreds of others, who then can go on to expose even more people.

The European Union alone has reported 8,500 cases of measles in the past 12 months.

Vaccines are the mainstay for infectious disease prevention.

Children routinely receive an MMR (against mumps, measles, rubella) vaccine at ages 1 and 4 years.

While very effective, 2 percent to 5 percent of those receiving the vaccine don’t respond to the first dose, and require the “booster” dose to be immune. Fortunately, 99 percent of those who get two 2 doses of the vaccine are immune.

Children under the age of 1 year, and kids and adults who have not been immunized (and have not had the disease) are at greatest risk for developing measles.

Measles is highly contagious (the virus is spread by respiratory droplets) and has an incubation period of 7-18 days. Those infected are contagious from

four days before they develop the rash (typically when they’re diagnosed) and up to four days after the rash has resolved.

So, with everyone getting ready for school, what better time to make sure your child has been

immunized?And if you’re traveling outside the U.S. with a child under the age of 1 year, check with your doctor and ask about having the child vaccinated early.

The current measles outbreak may continue to spread unless

your child is vaccinated.

Inflammatory disorder treatment involves careful medication management

By Kenneth J. Warrington, M.D. Tribune Content Agency

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: My mother was just diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica.What is it, and what causes the condition? Is the treatment safe?

ANSWER: Polymyalgia rheumatica is a treatable inflammatory disorder that causes muscle and joint pain and stiffness. Proper treatment can often improve the symptoms in a matter of days or even overnight.

Keeping the disorder in check as it subsides usually involves careful medication management.

Inflammation is the body’s usual response to injury or disease.

But in some disorders - known collectively as rheumatic diseases - inflammatory activity erupts where there’s no apparent need for the response. Such is the case with polymyalgia rheumatica.

Although the cause of the condition isn’t well understood, the pain and stiffness of the disorder result from the activity of inflammatory cells and proteins that are a normal part of your

body’s disease-fighting immune system.The aberrant inflammatory activity is generally concentrated in tissues surrounding the affected muscles and joints, resulting in signs and symptoms that begin which can include: • Aches or pain in the shoulders (often the first symptom) • Aches or pain in the neck, lower back, buttocks, hips or thighs • Stiffness in affected areas, especially in the morning or after a period of inactivity, such as a long car ride • Limited range of motion in the affected joints • Tenderness in upper arms • Less commonly, pain or stiffness in wrists or knees When pain and stiffness first appear, it’s also common to run a low-grade fever, experience fatigue, be anemic and generally feel unwell. Loss of appetite, unintended weight loss and depression may also occur early on in the disorder.

Most people who develop polymyalgia rheumatica are older

than 65 - rarely does it affect people younger than 50. The disorder is more common in women.

Research suggests that a combination of inherited and environmental factors may contribute to the development of polymyalgia rheumatica. It’s most common in people of Northern European heritage - in particular, those of Scandinavian descent - and may run in families.

Patterns where new cases of polymyalgia rheumatica appear in cycles suggest there may be some connection with contagious viral diseases.

Certain blood tests can be helpful in making a diagnosis and beginning a treatment plan. An erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) - commonly referred to as a sed rate - reflects changes in red blood cells (erythrocytes) related to inflammation. An elevated sed rate indicates the inflammatory response of the immune system is heightened. Another blood test measures the concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP), which increases when there’s inflammatory activity.

The primary treatment for

polymyalgia rheumatica is a low dose of an oral corticosteroid, such as prednisone. This usually produces relief from pain and stiffness within the first two or three days. If it does not, the dose may need to be increased. The corticosteroid dose is gradually decreased based on improvement in symptoms and follow-up blood test results. However, if symptoms of polymyalgia rheumatica return, it may be necessary to temporarily increase the corticosteroid dose.

The goal in managing treatment of polymyalgia rheumatica is to keep the corticosteroid dose as low as possible. Most people with the disorder need to continue corticosteroid treatment for one to two years, and sometimes longer.

Because long-term use of these drugs can result in a number of serious side effects, frequent follow-up visits with a doctor are recommended. He or she can monitor treatment effects, watch for potential problems, and adjust the corticosteroid dosage.

Among possible side effects related to corticosteroid treatment are a loss of bone density and weakening of bones

(osteoporosis).To help reduce the risk of bone fractures, calcium and vitamin D supplements may be prescribed.

Other side effects of long-term corticosteroid use that may require treatment include high blood pressure, which increases the risk of cardiovascular and kidney disease; diabetes, which can cause tissue damage in a number of body systems; cataracts, which can significantly impair your vision; and depression or other emotional disturbances.

With proper diagnosis and treatment, the life expectancy of someone treated for polymyalgia rheumatica is generally the same as for anyone else of the same age. New medications that target specific components of the immune system are being studied as possible treatment options for the disorder. - Kenneth J.

THE BUGLE SEPTEMBER 11, 2013

NASCAR SPECIAL | THE BUGLE SEPTEMBER 11, 2013

WHO WILL WIN GEICO 400?

have gone on to win the Sprint Cup championship. However, the third time may not be the charm.

has showed his ability this season and is due to have things go his way and claim a win.

Scott: Kyle Busch – Busch seems to run well at Chicagoland Speedway every year. He has swept the weekend in the past back when the race was in July and is very comfortable here. He seems to like the 1.5 mile tracks and Chicagoland is one of those.

I think Busch will get himself in contention to finally break through and win the NASCAR championship.

Winning in Joliet is a great way to start since the past two winners here to start the chase

Mark: I also going with Busch here, however, I am picking Kyle’s older brother, Kurt.

Kurt has bounced around the past few seasons and has raced for two teams in the last two years and that trend will continue as he joins Stewart-Haas Racing next season.

He has been consistent most of this season with Furniture Row Racing, making them the first single-car team to make the Chase since the format began.

With a low-budget team, Kurt

WHO WILL WIN THE SPRINT CUP CHAMPIONSHIP? Scott: Jimmy Johnson – I don’t see fate playing out again this year with the winner at Chicagoland winning the Sprint Cup. That is unless Johnson wins this week. After a couple years of not winning the title following the five-peat, it looks like Johnson is back to being on

his A-game. He seems to be back to his old, consistent self, which is exactly what you need to win the championship. Besides Kevin Harvick, I don’t see many serious threats this year as I don’t see Clint Bowyer and Busch holding up through the 10 races. I think Carl Edwards could have a say in the championship race as well.

Mark: Kevin Harvick – My first thought here was Clint Bowyer, but if he really intentionally spun out to cause a caution and help teammate Martin Truex, Jr. get in the Chase, I see a few drivers who will make sure that does not happen, namely Ryan Newman,

who was kept out of the Chase because of Bowyer’s actions. So, assuming Bowyer is shown a few walls, that leaves me picking Harvick to win the Chase in his last go-round with RCR before taking Newman’s ride with SHR. Harvick has a pair of wins this season, 13 top 10 finishes and six top fives. Harvick has an average finish of 12.7 this season,third this year (Bowyer and Carl Edwards both average 12.3), but Harvick’s average start is 16.7, the worst of any driver in the Chase. That just tells me, he moves through the field better than anyone else, which he will do the last 10 races to take the Cup.
