Richmond - One More Shot At The Chase
Richmond will be one last chance to make the Chase
September 7
The Chevy Rock & Roll 400 at Richmond International Raceway means one thing to 11 drivers: One Last Race to Make The Chase.
Fortunately for Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson, they have already clinched a spot in the third installment of the Chase for the NASCAR Nextel Cup. But for nine other drivers, Saturday night's race at America's Premier Short Track is the final opportunity to earn a berth in The Chase.
Here's a look at what each driver in positions three through 10 needs to do at Richmond International Raceway to keep his championship hopes alive. The following drivers can clinch a spot in the Chase for the NASCAR Nextel Cup in the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 at Richmond International Raceway with the following finishes, no matter where any other competitor finishes:
Kevin Harvick (third in points): 40th
Jeff Gordon (fourth in points): 25th
Kyle Busch (fifth in points): 22nd
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (sixth in points): 16th
Denny Hamlin (seventh in points): 16th
Tony Stewart (eighth in points): 7th
Mark Martin (ninth in points): 4th
Jeff Burton (tenth in points): 4th
That leaves one driver--Kasey Kahne--looking to race his way into The Chase, just like Jeremy Mayfield did back in 2004. Could a Ray Evernham-owned car repeat the feat? Kahne is on a roll coming off his win at California Speedway last weekend, and the young gun recorded his first career NASCAR Nextel Cup Series win at Richmond International Raceway in 2005. more from Cup Scene Daily
