NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship standings - Kahne is the hard charger

The NASCAR Sprint Cup series has 14 race of the year with Kasey Kahne Pocono won over. The point ranking are always an exciting with Kyle Busch still at the top. Although Kyle Busch had a dismal race at the Pocono leads yet the series point standings. Bush in the race on the points and indeed everything, what he, to at the bottom edge could finish the race. And that's exactly what he did by finishing the Pocono 500 in dead last 43rd.

Busch lead was reduced to only 21 points ahead of the series second place driver Jeff Burton. The four top positions in the series remain unchanged in the fourth with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. in third and Carl Edwards. 10 Out of ten of the fourteen races for 2008 have shown the top each of these four drivers. Consistency is very important, one of the leaders for the Sprint Cup his and these first four prove that his front is, what matters most.

Kyle Busch leads all drivers in WINS with four so far in this year. Edwards has three victories this year to secure third place in the Championship. Jeff Burton has a victory. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is the only rider of the four without a win this year.

The hard charger point was Kahne three positions this weekend Denny Hamlin, four positions and race winner Kasey. Hamlin, is now in fifth position with Kahne in ninth position.

Of the twelve key positions at hunting three riders lost positions, Greg Biffle, Jeff Gordon and two positions. Clint Bowyer lost three positions and Tony Stewart went down one and is now in 12th place.

Stewart must be careful. It seems to be so much talk, what will happen to Stewart, next year, it seems that perhaps he has lost focus for 2008. But before we go too far with this thought, we must not forget that it is a tradition of Stewart to a hard-charger in the latter part of the season.

This weekend will produce an exciting race in Michigan. How will the point battle to make? Significant changes with the best candidates will give it? Felt ball Kahne his award-winning because this will be the hard charger at weekends for someone new, or?

400 At Michigan International Speedway went to the LifeLock the four top positions in the Sprint Cup standings unchanged. However, Kyle could Bush feel the heat from Sunday's first place finisher Dale Earnhardt Jr. Bush retains the number one spot with Jeff Burton just 32 points behind the second place. But here comes junior. Earnhardt is Bush still on the third place in the overall standings, but he reduced difference from third parties the points to first and now routes of only 84 points.

Strategy and fuel management at the end of the race, Earnhardt was his first point of victory after the accession of Hendrick Motorsports and his first victory after a drought 76 races. Earnhardt drove his 88 Chevrolet to victory under caution, but his father must have had this father's day smiling his smart fuel management down to him. Busch was Toyota at # 13 for his after the start on the pole. A Rainout of qualifications led the field start the race based on the series ranking. Burton remains in third place for the series after 15 on Sunday.

Carl Edwards remains down in fourth place in the series. Kevin Harvick will remain in the 10th. The other six riders all switched positions, but no one fell out of the twelve positions for hunting.
