You've seen the wreck.  Kyle Busch goes low, Tony Stewart goes high.  Kyle goes high, Tony goes nowhere, Kyle bounced into the wall, Tony goes on to win.  But that's not what I found most interesting.

After Kyle hit the wall, Kasey Kahne slammed into him, literally propelling Kyle across the start/finish line.  Why is that important?  Kyle officialy finished 14th.  I don't think it is any kind of stretch to say that if Kyle hadn't gotten blasted by Kasey he would've been classified the last car on the lead lap, which would have been 28th.

WITH those 42 points (the difference between 14th and 28th), Kyle is EIGHTH in points, in the Chase by 133 points.

WITHOUT those 42 ponts, Kyle would be ELEVENTH in points, in the Chase by only 91 points.

If Kyle makes the Chase by less than 42 points, he owes Kasey Kahne a big thank you card, especially if Kasey ends up the odd man out.
