Chase Update:
Dale Jr.  finished in 13th, Kyle in 28th, and Martin in 43rd yesterday at Kansas. Dale Jr. moved up one spot to 8th, Kyle remained in 12th, and Martin dropped one to 16th. Amazing what has happened to Kyle the last three weeks, after dominating for the first 26 weeks – never would have guessed he would struggle with mechanical problems the way he has.

David Beckham in Chicago:
David and the Galaxy were in Chicago to play the Fire on Thursday, but they fell 3-1. “That’s soccer,” David said after the game. “Some days are good and some are bad. We need to pick ourselves up from here. We are running out of games.”
