49 cars entered (6 cars will DNQ). Last CoT race of year.

Top 35 - Aric Almirola in #01. (With the Texas results there will probably be no change to which cars are in Top 35 owners points, #22 has 127 point lead over #21 in 36th.)

Need for speed - Bill Elliott in #21 (has champion provisionals left), Johhny Benson in #36, and Patrick Carpentier starts running #10.

Part time - Sam Hornish Jr in #06, Sterling Marlin in #09 and Jacques Villeneuve in #27.

Yes, but they hadn't had the problem with qualifing before.

Congrats to Jimmie Johnson. This win is the 10th of the year and 4 in a row, either is something few racers have ever done. It gives him a total of 33 for 18th on the all time list, either tieing or breaking the tie with Fireball Roberts (depending on who you believe.) Either way he moves ahead of Dale Jarrett & Tony Stewart. 17th is Mark Martin with 35 wins.

I can't believe this, 4 wins in a row for the 48 team and the 18th for HMS this season.

Only because everybody is too scared to hit JJ OR JG, I JUST SAW THE HIGHLIGHT PACKAGE & THERE WAS PLENTY OF TIMES THAT THE 2 OF THEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT INTO THE WALL

iT SEEMS that JG can get away with it last year on Matt( the only threat to JJ ) but this year the drivers in the chase were all pussies, or did Nascar warn the drivers not to hit the precious chebbies!
This chase is an absolute joke & Nascar Cup is the laughing stock this year?

Well not as much of a laughing stock as the Busch series with only 9 drivers running all the races.

Fact is they are the two best drivers this year with the best teams and equipment.

Like him or not, like Alexmateo posted, it may be a long time before we see another team as much in tune with each other as Johnson and Knaus.
