(red means they're down from last week, green means they're up)
Johnson 79%
Hamlin 14%
Gordon 7%
Harvick 0.3%
Poor finishes by Kurt Busch and Stewart take them out of contention, leaving only four drivers left with a chance for the championship. Johnson came in third, but first place went to a non-Chase driver, McMurray, and second place was Kyle Busch, which only succeeded in giving him enough points to be currently tied with Stewart. So Johnson was able to increase his points lead slightly. The next race is at Martinsville, which is a good track for both Johnson and Hamlin, so they may very well be the only contenders left after next week. In order for Harvick to stay in contention, he will have to beat Johnson by nearly 60 points at Martinsville, whereas Gordon has a chance of staying on as long as Johnson doesn't gain more than 20 points than him.
