Now, as the rain delay due to tropical storm Hannah about is, is today the conclusion of the race in Richmond us go the last twelve drivers for the 2008 Sprint Cup Championship.
Let's start the hunt.
For those who thought, will Kyle Busch on foot with the Championship 2008 with his eight victories this year, forget the other riders can be as competitive at the end of the season. Bush leads the series, as we begin the hunt. Busch wins have been very impressive this year but drivers including Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson are now closer in point as a week ago. Keep Bush at the top of the Championship until the end, but as they say in investment, past do not guarantee future performance.
Edwards was impressive this year with six wins. Unfortunately for Edwards, only bonus points for five wins due to a post race earlier in the season he received. Edwards has been, on strong lately and recently won two in a row in August. With a new rivalry between Bush and Edwards this season, we expect an uphill battle during the next twelve races for the title. This would be the first Cup Championship for Bush or Edwards and both is in every race.
Two time champion Jimmie Johnson has perfectly to Bush and Edwards over their shoulders look positioned. Win four victories this year, Johnson is the only multi-race winner Busch and Edwards in the Chase. Johnson shows that he is ready for the hunt, won the last two races, including the today's race in Richmond. Johnson tried also, only the second driver to three in a row will win. The last driver to do so was NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough, 1976-1978.
Other qualified for the Chase drivers are Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Clint Bowyer, Denny Hamlin, Jeff Burton, Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. sits in fourth place for hunting. A consistent season with a victory and with eight top five rankings puts Earnhardt Jr. closer to its goal of the Championship. The most popular driver in the NASCAR trying change the team in 2008 in position for his first title committed.
Past champions Stewart start Gordon and Kenseth hunting without a single victory in this season. If they are hoping that a further Championship to win must win soon. Each of these former champions knows how to win and is fully capable to secure a further Championship.
Bowyer, Hamlin, Biffle and Burton, Harvick worked hard throughout the year, to make it in the hunt. A week ago was sitting on the bubble Bowyer; He is now in fifth place, while Hamlin moved up five spots to sixth place. Sweat and determination make for success; This can be the combination which either could press Bowyer or Hamlin to the Championship.
The season 2008 so far was with the dominance of the Busch, Edwards and exciting lately of Johnson. The first 26 races are over, and are a maximum 80 points separate the 12 drivers. The Championship is for the reception of any of these drivers.
Let's start the hunt.
