The Chase to the wire.

An amazing run down to the chase for the Nextel Cup has been taking place this season. No one outside of the top 3 drivers is assured that at the end of the race Sat. night at Richmond that they will be in it. The points are so close it will only take a small miscue on the part of one of these drivers to land in 11th place. this should be an intense race to watch. Not only for the chase factor but the Richmond short track factor, how much if any leeway will the guys not in the chase or contention give those still fighting for it? What will the payback factor be? Is Carl Edwards or Clint Bowyer going to get even with ony Stewart for essentially taking them out of the hunt with swerve into Bowyer that also took out Edwards? Will Kenseth pay Gordon back for the rear bumper tap that cost him a win? How about the Edwards Earnhardt deal is that still on the burner? Only time and 400 laps at The bull ring will tell.
