2008 Chase Picture Getting Clearer

Monday September 22, 2008
We are just two races into the 2008 Chase for the Cup and already the Championship picture is beginning to get clearer. Three drivers at the top of the standings have had strong Chase starts. Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson and Greg Biffle have shown that they are in this battle to win.

The next six drivers are all within striking distance but need to get to work over the next three races to get themselves into position to fight for the 2008 Championship. At the bottom of the Chase standings three drivers; Matt Kenseth, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch are realistically eliminated from contention after terrible Chase starts.

How can anyone say that only the top three
are the real deal to win the chase? Look how
quick Kyle Busch fell all the way to the
bottom with two bad weeks! I’m tired of you guys exploding on one or two drivers when there is eight races left. GO JUNIOR!

Well check him out!!! I have been a Biffle fan for a while now, and wathched him getting up there in the top 10 for a while now. I’ve always said that he was a great driver, someone to contend with. Now look out Jimmy, make room for Greg. He’s won two and he’s gonna be breathing down your neck. Way to go Biffle!!!!!
