NASCAR Chase For the Cup

Hey All, The NASCAR Chase For the Cup is underway and has been shaking things up as of late, and what everyone expected it to be. The raining 5 time in a row champion Jimmy Johnson has not fared well in the past couple of races thus far. Finishing 18th in Sunday's race at New Hampshire, and he rounded out the top ten in last weeks race at Chicagoland Speedway. Jimmy falls to 10th in the points and things are not looking good for a sixpete for the raining champion. One driver who is catching everyone's eyes, is that of Tony Stewart. Stewart has won the first two races of the case, which puts him in first in the points race. Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, and Carl Edwards are close behind him though. If he keeps racing like he is, Tony will be the one to end the run of Johnson as champion. Another driver who has had a bit of an inconsistent start is that of Dale Earnhardt Jr. He finished in 17th at New Hampshire, but last week he finished in the top 5 picking up a third place finish at Chicagoland. Jr. has gone from 3rd in the points race down to 8th in the points. Jr. needs to have solid finishes at Dover, Kansas, Charlotte, and Talladega to even have a shot at catching Tony. I can't wait to see how these drivers will fair in the rest of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
