Final 2008 Chase Standings
Thursday November 20, 2008
The 2008 season is a wrap and the NASCAR Sprint Cup teams have gone home to get ready for the 2009 Daytona 500.
Jimmie Johnson and the rest of NASCAR's top ten point finishers will go to New York City the first weekend in December for the awards banquet. Twelve drivers make the Chase but only the top ten get the opportunity to give a speech during the awards banquet.
The two drivers that will watch from the sidelines as NASCAR celebrates its top ten changed after bad runs in Homestead. Who will be on stage at the Waldorf-Astoria in a couple weeks? Here are the final 2008 Chase for the Cup standings.

Why not all 12 on stage? Are the last two outcasts? Is there not enough time, make time. That whole banquet is a joke. Everybody is so stiff, everything is so planned. What a waste of money. Move the whole thing to Charlotte where it belongs. That’s where the action is, the teams are there. What’s in New York, not even a race track, not that one is even needed there. If Nascar puts a race track in New York, that will just take more of the history away from another track.
I agree…what’s the point of having 12 chase drivers if not all 12 are going to get any special recognition? They always make a huge story about who’s going to make it into the chase, especially leading up to the cut-off after Richmond, but I guess making it into the chase doesn’t mean you’re significant. If they’d cut out even half the BS at the awards ceremony, they’d have plenty of time to recognize all 12 drivers. And I hope to goodness they find somebody better to host the ceremony besides a lousy comedian… ugh.
Everyone knows the whole thing is rigged and will continue to be rigged in favor of the Hendrick Team.
It’s not rigged in favor of Hendricks, it’s rigged in favor of France. I just wish that they would televise all of the races on one station and Speed would be ok by me.
