Point Standings & News:After Race 31: Charlotte RovalAFTER THE FLAG: Huge breaking news here after tech inspection! Alex Parker's engine was found to be modified to provide him with an unfair advantage. The win has been stripped away and Peter Hale for Joe Gibbs Racing has won at the Charlotte Roval. Alex Parker will be disqualified from the event and finish 42nd. He will earn points for finishing 42nd, and not be credited with the victory. Peter Hale earns his 4th win of the year. Standings:  The Good: - Hale's surprise win jumps him to 5th in points, with a chance for the title now in sight. - Dale Stremme Jr. avoided the chaos to quietly finish 8th and extend his points lead. - Marco Montoya's top 10 here marks the 4th time he has done so in the last 8 races. The Bad: - Alex Parker's DSQ essentially eliminates him from championship contention unless he manages to win the next 5 races and get extraordinarily lucky. - Clint Johnson's 35th now puts him a race behind in the championship with time running out. - Luis Suarez was on pace for a top 5, but bad luck means he ends up 34th, and further back in the championship.

2007 Talladega 500News: After the race at the Charlotte Roval, Alex Parker was absolutely livid with his team. So much so he didn't even show up to the shop all week. On the plus side for Hendrick, they have retained Nate Beasley for the 2008 season, meaning Hendrick's lineup is set. Furthermore, Carson Atkins and TriStar-Evernham Motorsports announced today he will be switching his number for #98 to #79 after the end of the season. Favorites: Chad Little, Steve Perry, Anna Kelley, and any other driver with a Chad Little engine will be competitive. In addition, the Penske duo of Dale Stremme Jr. and last springs winner, Jeb Warson have been stout here. Dark horse pick goes to Kyle Rudd who has won a few plate races over the years. DNQ's: 23 - Denny Jennings 83 - Ty Majeski Overview Race #: 32/36 Distance: 38 Laps Polesitter: Kyle Rudd - Team: Hendrick Motorsports  Lap 1: Green Flag: Kyle Rudd leads Ross Evertson and the rest of the field down into the first turn.

Lap 6: Lead Change: Mark Donaque leads this lap. Lap 7: Lead Change: Donaque is overtaken by ACR teammates Allison Coyne and Nick Rodriguez. Donaque has a problem - he pulls into the pits. Coyne and Rodriguez have a huge lead because of this. Lap 8: Lead Change: Rodriguez nips his teammate for the lap led. Lap 9: Lead Change: Coyne leaves her teammate out to dry and leads the pack. And now a lapped car of Austin Bell slows up much of the lead pack! Lap 10: Caution: Debris spotted from Austin Bell's Toyota. Alex Parker is the new leader. Lap 16: Green Flag: Parker looking for redemption after last week. Lap 18: Lead Change: Stephanie Dillon in the second AC Delco car leads that lap. Lap 19: Lead Change: Chris England leads. Lap 20: Lead Change: Ross Evertson becomes the 3rd Front Row car to lead. ** Marking lap leaders to help count laps lead at the end of the season** Lap 21: Lead Change: Anna Kelley may have the strongest car, she's back out in front. Lap 22: Lead Change: Nate Beasley nips Kelley at the line. Lap 23: Lead Change: Mark Donaque has come from 14th last lap to lead at the line. Lap 24: Lead Change: Chris England leads again. Lap 25: Lead Change: Polesitter Kyle Rudd makes his way to the front.  Lap 25: Caution: Brian Silvia and Landon Amick get together in the top 10 and set off a wreck. James Davidson (#10), Hannah Tanner (#24), and Clint Johnson (#25) all suffer minor damage. Chris Burton (#78) also spins but no damage. Lap 30: Under caution - Alan Jones - running 2nd has blown an engine. Tough luck for the EagleOne team. Lap 31: Green Flag: Kyle Rudd leads them down. Lap 33: Lead Change: The most recent winner at Talladega takes the lead - Jeb Warson. Lap 35: Lead Change: Erin Keller for Front Row has taken point here. 4 to go! Lap 36: Lead Change: Peter Hale out front now. 2 in a row perhaps? Lap 37: Lead Change: Chris England passes his teammate instead of working with him! Lap 38: Lead Change: Here come the Fords. Jeb Warson and Erin Keller have flown to the front. 10 drivers in the lead draft - who will win?  Lap 38: And it's over. Jeb Warson wins his 2nd race of the year and sweeps Talladega! Allison Coyne finishes a career high 2nd, with Kyle Rudd, Peter Hale, and Erin Keller rounding off the top 5.  Thanks for tuning in. Points will be updated shortly. Next race: Texas

The couple announce that Caitlyn will return to the top series after scaling back her involvement the previous season. She will drive the #54 for Peter Hale Racing. Whether Full-Time or Part-Time is yet to be determined. Meanwhile after 4 seasons with the Staglo Brothers, Austin Bell will be released from the #30 car at the end of the year. Unknown if the team will continue to field entrees. Favorites: Alex Parker and Peter Hale both have 2 wins apiece here, but Parker starts deep in the field. Dale Stremme Jr. and Clint Johnson are two drivers strong at Texas who both start in the first few rows. Dark horse pick is the unlikely front row on display here today with Ross Evertson and Sean Kroger nabbing the top 2 spots for Front Row and the Wood Brothers. DNQs: 4 - Rachel Bowyer 23 - Denny Jennings 87 - Josh Berry Overview: Race #: 33/36 Distance: 42 Laps Polesitter: Ross Evertson - Team: Front Row Racing  Lap 1: Green Flag: Ross Evertson who scores his 1st ever pole, alongside Sean Kroger in the #21 making his 5th career start lead them down to turn 1.

Lap 4: Lead Change: Dale Stremme Jr. jumps out to the lead. Lap 8: Chris England and Kevin Grant run through the grass in the trioval.  Lap 12: Caution: Playoff feuding taking place, Landon Kaiser (#9) just dumped Alex Parker (#5) coming out of turn 2. Parker can continue on with limited damage. Lap 17: Green Flag: Dale Stremme Jr. gets a launch over Ross Evertson and flies out ahead of the field. Lap 22: Ross Evertson's car has faded fast - he's dropped from 2nd to 15th on the restart. Clint Johnson, Sean Kroger are top 3, while Carson Atkins and Chris Burton have climbed up into the top 5.

Lap 30: Green Flag: Dale Stremme Jr. is out front, but Carson Atkins has come from the pack to challenge for the lead. Lap 35: Atkins stuck behind a lapped car, meanwhile Kyle Rudd has climbed to 3rd place. Lap 38: Atkins is on the back bumper of Dale Stremme Jr.! At Kansas, Atkins passed Hale with 2 to go. Could we see this happen again?  Lap 42: Kansas doesn't repeat - this time, Stremme Jr. holds off Atkins to take his 3rd win of the year here at Texas. It is also his 19th career win which puts him 4th on the all time list. Carson Atkins, Kyle Rudd, Chris Burton, and Alice Peters round off your top 5.  Thanks for tuning in.

Another big retirement is Brian Silvia. The 40 year old says he finds driving to be more of a job now than ever and will vacate the #55. He states that his biggest regret was not winning a race in the top level, despite currently having 285 starts. Steinhausser claims that their ex-driver, Landon Amick, is the lead candidate to fill that vacancy. Ronnie Wilson, one of Brewco Motorsports' Grand National drivers has been called to race the #37 next season, replacing Nicole Sadler who is already leaving for Ganassi's #41. Favorites: Spring winner, Hannah Tanner starts on pole and will be formidable. Alex Parker has 2 wins here and looks to pick a third win. Kyle Rudd has 3 wins at Phoenix and despite starting further in the field, could be a threat. Dark horse is Alice Peters, who has looked good in recent weeks.
