post race fireworks here in charlotte. we look at talladega, joey logano and kevin harvick through. and now look at the gap, remember there are many more points than the 26 at stake. now, kyle busch is not safe going to talladega and the narrow is very, very slim. and dale jr. and jimmie johnson, 26 points behind. it's not impossible but a lot of

work. >> a lot of work to do. and you saw the four outside they all have victories at talladega. >> and one of them is going to possibly get that win and very good teams are going to be done after talladega. >> all right, well, kevin harvick and company do that dance in victory lane. l let's go to doc. >> and brad keselowski, what happened to denny hamlin? >> well, first, i think the ford was good today. we thought we were going to have a fourth or fit place run and didn't catch a break. i'm proud of anyone on team penske and tough the sequence of events, the 20 car was in back of me and i wasn't mad at him. but when the last yell came out, he got the way around and he came back and swung at my car and tore the front of the car off. and we started the fifth with no front, we fell back to 16 sbth

ruined our day and gave us a big chase hurt, which is unfortunate and for some reason after the race, the 11 stopped in front of me and tried to pick a fight. i don't know what that was about. and i figured if we are going to play car wars, i will dish it out too. i don't know. they want to fight. i don't know what is up with that. >> what abt the contact with tony? >> he is upset and he has every trite be. his car was tore up. there was a lot of other stuff going on. when he sees the situation, he will understand. >> let geese to dave burns. >> denny hamlin, talk about the aggression on the track and the aggression after ward. >> we, we were on the green and white checkered and brad was behind us. we knew he was going be aggressive and he ran into it us

and knocked off off the racetrack and i showed my displeasure on the cool down lap and i brake checked him to give them the whole story and he tried to spin us out and we got to pit lane and he plowed into the 14 and the 20. and 20, i ran into him and ran into us again coming off pit road. and then he went through the garage and did burn outs and he knocked somebody's transmission clear through. out of control. we are just -- you know, we got to think about us here going forward. that is an important thing. but nascar said no tolerance for stuff like that, and you got be a little more mature. i'm proud of the fedex ground team. we had a tough car and just got knocked around on the restart. it's unfortunate but still a decent day for us. >> what nascar is telling you,

this can't carry over? it has to stop here? >> nascar hasn't told me anything. they told me -- don't go after him. you got too much to lose. fy would have wrecked, he would have been in big trouble. he cost us six spots. what goes around comes around. >> all right, well, in the after math of all of that, i get your reactions first to the post race events and incidents and fireworks. >> well, you always hate to see that cars get torn up after the fact. but drivers are going to do that, and i'm not surprised about that. there is high pressure in the situation. first time we have had an elimination type of chase set up and that has ramped up the pressure. the things they will do. and the motions. and my goodness, as if we needed anything else. we got it now.

>> well, you can see the desperation on the racetrack and it carried off too. they are good race teams, the backs against the wall and they felt they were used up. and i can see how emotions run high. >> and the summary on the winner's night, kevin harvick went through and got one tonight. and you better watch out for him when it's time to hand out the big trophy in south florida in another five weeks. down to the pit studio, nicole? >> we are shaking our heads after that, and talladega, i cannot wait. >>ky not wait. the 2 car of brad keselowski, and the 8 out of dale jr., they certified in trouble. they really had. >> if i would have said to you after four races that those cars were going to be at 12th, 11th and 10th in points, you would have said -- you bumped your

head. now, it's it's five -- >> they are in trouble. 29, 48 and 88 are all in trouble. >> i need the entire first half of the field to wreck. >> this is going to be crazy. >> the championship format has created so much drama. i have never seen the drivers under so much pressure. i like it. and i'm happy for kevin harvick. he finally closed the deal. he look great. >> and lap one to the end of next week, watch. the only driver who doesn't have to worry, joey logano, who got the win last week and kevin lar vick, now safe from elimination after his win tonight in charlotte. most post race from charlotte motor speedway after this break and a message from your local abc stations. e! sprint is offering this exclusive new plan with unlimited data. the plan is only $50 a month! $50? unlimited iphone!
