You've got the "good" cars: Kenseth, Edwards, and Biffle all of which to no surprise, are current Chase drivers if the season ended today, then you have the two "bad" teams: Ragan who has taken an inexplicable fall from grace this year, and Jaime McMurray whose probably in his last year with the team anyway as the cut-down to four teams is to be enforced next year.
Look for the three former teams to run very well with one of them winning (Edwards) and the other two pulling up the rear and finishing somewhere in their usual high 20's to low 30's.
If you are looking for a dark horse? Why not try Burton who has been running better of late? His career shows he's good for one win a year and seems to do just well enough to stick around all season.
Water cooler talk:
- That's Racin' and the Charlotte Observer report that Darlington Raceway could be seeing a return of the Camping World Truck Series (CWTS) to the NASCAR iconic track come 2010. At least one track is expected to lose a race while multiple tracks, like Darlington could be the beneficiaries of at least one new event. Stay tuned....
- Note that there are currently seven-Cup teams represented in the current Chase standings:
HMS: 2 cars: No. 48, No. 24, SHR 2 cars: No. 14, No. 39, Roush: 3 cars: No. 16, No. 99, No. 17, Penske No. 2, Gibbs: No. 18, No. 11, MWR No. 00, and No. 31 Burton.
This is a sign of NASCAR's partity and a welcome sign from the embarrassing four-car super teams we've seen all too often in the past most recently as last year's final Chase standings.
