At least he moved into the 8th spot in the Chase. It kind of sucked though that he hit Kyle Petty near the end of the race and dropped down from a top 20. I think he was 14th or so before he hit Petty. It looked to me like Petty checked up on him and Carl just couldn't get out of his way with that damaged shock. I didn't even know about that damaged shock though because TNTs coverage was such a joke.
Fox's coverage is head and shoulders better then TNT/NBCs half-assed coverage. It seems like the Fox analysts make the races more exciting while the TNT guys just drone on and on in a very boring manner. Maybe it is high energy commentary by Darrell Waltrip but the play by play guy, Mike Joy is a great announcer and seems very knowledgeable about the sport. It says that he is a 30 year motorsports veteran so I guess he does know his stuff.
That aside all Carl needs to do is drive decently at the next two races and he is in the Chase. He probably won't win it because he isn't as experienced as the other drivers but let's hope he does well. Here is a link to an unofficial fan site of his.
