NASCAR's Chase for the Championship: Who's in and Who's Out
A Summary of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase for the Championship with Five Races Left
Halfway through NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship, it's still anybody's to take. Jimmie Johnson and his seemingly unstoppable #48 Lowes Chevy Team, sit atop the point standing forty one points ahead of second place. The drive for five is still alive for the Hendrick driver.
Denny Hamlin, the Virginia native, takes his home tracks seriously. He is looking for a great finish this weekend to keep his momentum going and gain some points on first place. He started the weekend off right putting his #11 FedEx Toyota on the pole for Sunday's Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville. He will share the front row with the #47 Toyota of Marcos Ambrose who has been in the headlines this week as a possible replacement for Kasey Kahne in the vacated #9 RPM Ford. Ambrose went on the record to say he would finish the season with JTG/Daugherty and join Richard Petty Motorsports next season as scheduled.
