NASCAR week 21

Top 19 Chase Contenders:
(red means they're down from last week, green means they're up)
Gordon 100%
Harvick 100%
Hamlin 100%
Johnson 100%
Stewart 100%
Kurt Busch 100%
Kyle Busch 100%
Edwards 95%
Kenseth 92%
Burton 90%
Biffle 88%
Martin 50%
Bowyer 46%
Newman 19%
Kahne 13%
Reutimann 3%
Earnhardt 3%
McMurray 1%
Montoya 0.1%

The top 20 has become the top 19 as Logano now has no chance of making the Chase at this point, but Montoya is still hanging in there. This race just served to reaffirm what I noticed last week. The top 11 spots are pretty well secure and it's going to be a fight between Bowyer and Martin to get that 12th spot.

For once, the biggest gainer was the race winner, Biffle (67% to 88%). He's been running well all season, so it's good to see him win. The biggest loser was Kahne (26% to 13%). I don't think he finished all that poorly, it's just that his rather lackluster season is finally catching up with him.
