We knew Richmond was going to be an eventful race with so many drivers looking for a Chase spot and we were not disappointed.

Kevin Harvick was able to go out and dominate his way to his fourth victory of the season, placing him second in the seeding.

Despite a good run by Brad Keselowski, who made a valiant effort to crack the top 10, Dale Jr. and Tony Stewart are in with Brad and Denny Hamlin getting the two Wild Card spots.

Now the Chase Field is set. Looking back at the past few weeks and the first 26 races in general, this could the best since the inaugural Chase in 2004.

The 2011 Chase begins next Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway and if Saturday night at Richmond was any indication we are in for an exciting 10 races.

Who can dethrone five-time NASCAR champion and who will take home the Sprint Cup in 2011 are questions that will be answered in Homestead.
