Chase Points After Dover:

While I believe everyone in the Chase still has a chance to win the Championship, Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin really need to get their acts together to get there.

Dale Earnhardt Jr has fallen significantly, but still has a chance if he can win Talledega and Texas, which he historically runs well at for both.

All in all, the Sprint Chase For The Cup is still up for grabs, and any of the teams still have a chance to win it, or to throw it away.

In contrast, let us look at the points if there was no Chase Points:

As you can see, this would be a much different chase, had the points not been realigned with 10 races to go. It would only be a 3 car race at this point, a Ford, a Toyota, and a Chevrolet. Also, three teams: Rousch, Gibbs, and Hendrick.

Kyle Busch would obviously be in better shape.

Looking at the top three, Jimmie Johnson would have more work to do to win a historical Championship for him (3 in a row). Kyle Busch would only be 33 points behind leader Carl Edwards, showing the benefits of having such a strong season.

Dale Earnhardt Jr, and everyone behind him could almost be counted out, making it a three car race.

I can't help but wonder, is the Chase For The Cup really more exciting, or is it unfair to those having raced so well all season, only to fall back from 1st to 12th after 2 races.

What do you think? Is the Chase setup better?

While Greg Biffle wins his second in a row, Kyle Busch is falling further away.

I was traveling this weekend and was forced to listen to the race on MRN radio. I actually forgot how much fun this can be. I used to listen to the race on the radio more often when traveling. Now that I have young children, I don't travel as often. We spent the weekend at the beach to finish summer officially.

I can only imagine at this point, how exciting it was to be watching the finish to this race! As it was coming down to the finishing laps, the radio announcers' voices were cracking and high pitched with excitement, and I found myself turning the volume up louder and louder. So, if you find yourself in a position where you are on the road during the race, try listening to it on MRN or PRN radio networks. You will probably enjoy it.

Jack Rousch must of been sitting on the edge of his seat as well. With Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, and Greg Biffle all trading paint for the win at the Monster Mile, I wonder who Rousch was rooting for. Maybe he simply rooted for the three NOT to wreck each other. I can't help but wonder, though, could he be rooting for Biffle in the 3M car?

At the very least, the last two weeks have changed who people may think can win the Chase for the Cup. Or has it? Could it be Greg Biffle wins his first championship? Carl Edwards or Jimmie Johnson? And you can't count Dale Earnhardt Jr out yet, two of his best tracts, Talledega and Texas, are coming up. Also, Jeff Burton could be a sleeper in this Chase.

Personally, I think any predictions at this point would be foolish, who can predict the Chase when it is this close?

Jeff Gordon spins the fast lap in qualifying today at Dover International Speedway for the Camping World RV 400 with a time of 22.921 and a speed of 157.061mph.

Earlier this year, Gordon started 7th at the Monster and finished 5th. Over the last 2 years he has finished in the top 12 at Dover for every race. Over Jeff Gordon's career, he has 4 wins, and 14 top 5's at the Monster Mile.

Coming into this race Jeff Gordon is 11th in Chase points, 99 points behind leaders Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson. Interesting facts to ponder:

no winner of the Dover Chase race has gone on to win the Cup Series championship during the Chase era,

and perhaps even more importantly, no Chase leader has entered Dover with the points lead and held it after the checkered flag.

The rest of the top 10 Qualifiers (bold indicates chase drivers):

1. Jeff Gordon
2. Mark Martin
3. Denny Hamlin
4. Kurt Busch
5. Greg Biffle
6. Clint Bowyer
7. David Gilliland
8. Matt Kenseth
9. Jamie McMurray
10. Dale Earnhardt Jr

Other Chase Drivers Qualified:

• Kyle Busch 11th
• Jimmie Johnson 20th
• Jeff Burton 21st
• Carl Edwards 22nd
• Kevin Harvick 24th
• Tony Stewart 33rd

Looking at these qualifying positions, Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards will be working hard to get to the front if they want to protect the shared lead they have now.

In June of this year, Kyle Busch won the Best Buy 400 with Carl Edwards and who else but, GREG BIFFLE running 3rd! Make sure you watch this race, I am sure there will be some action, points position changes, and who knows, maybe Kyle Busch will end up in the wall or put someone in the wall!

Okay, Biffle didn't win the Cup. He did win the 1st race in the Chase for the Cup. He came out of nowhere. Who is picking Greg Biffle to win the Cup?

I would be willing to bet that unless you are a Biffle or Rousch fan, you didn't even know he was in the Chase.

Greg Biffle was sandbagging in the #16 Rousch/Fenway Ford. Late in the race, He passed Jimmie Johnson, and what looked to be effortlessly, won the race at Louden, New Hampshire. Biffle is smart, and I would bet he was sandbagging for the finish, conserving tires and fuel.

I say he was sandbagging, because it appeared to everyone that the Lowes #48 Hendrick owned Jimmie Johnson car was going to pull a 3 in a row win. I discussed my thoughts on Jimmie Johnson winning his third Sprint Cup Championship in a row last week. While Johnson didn't win, he still looks strong, poised to become part of NASCAR history.

As it stands now, we can't count any of the drivers out, not even Greg Biffle.
