Not Quite a Contender.....Yet

Kevin Harvick went from winless for 65 races to now a 60-race winner as he scored back-to-back wins Sunday. Many people are saying he is now a championship contender, but I give my take on why I wouldn't buy into that just yet. The two Christophers put on a show at the end of the race with both looking like they could've been in victory lane, is Bell finally heating up just when he needs to? And Buescher now has some momentum as we go into 2 of his best tracks. Chandler Smith won the truck race Saturday night and locked himself into the next round while Hocevar causes some late race drama again as he mixes it up with a non-playoff driver. I discuss why Hocevar needs to focus on his race instead of others now that he is 3 points below the cutline with 1 race in the round left. We take a look at Watkins Glen and if this is Truex's last shot at a playoff spot, can Sheldon Creed get the upset Saturday or is Gibbs and Allmendinger going to lead the way again?
