After two good races at Atlanta and Richmond, the 12 drivers are now set, and NASCAR has reworked the points order ready for the Chase!
The amazing thing about the points system for the chase is that Denny Hamlin jumps 9 places and Jimmie Johnson moves up 5 for the start of the Chase. The points leader before the cut off was Harvick, who drops to third.
Still to come are New Hampshire, Dover, Kansas, Fontana, Charlotte, Martinsville, Talladega, Texas, Phoenix, and finally Homestead.
Good news for the Chase... Smoke is doing well, as is the Ford of Carl Edwards, which gives all the manufacturers a presence in the top 12! Hamlin has momentum, and you can never count out his team mate! On paper this could be the closest Chase so far!
Will the 48 win five? Who will give him a run for his money? Can Harvick reclaim his points lead? Can one of the others mount a big enough challenge to cause an upset? Will Jeff Gordon end his winless streak?? Can the 2 car keep the solitary Dodge upfront? Will Joe Gibbs order Busch to finish second to Hamlin (sorry that's F1)?
I would love Stewart to win it, but ultimately I am in the, "Anybody but Johnson" camp! Nothing against the 48, I would just like somebody else to win it this time!
