Four races to go in Chase

| | Comments (0) |

Kurt Busch took the biggest hit in the NASCAR Chase for the Nextel Cup standings. He fell three spots, from seventh to 10th, after a 31st-pladce finish in the race at Martinsville Speedway, his worst of the Chase.
“We started off the race strong after we had that tire go down it was too hard to make up ground after that,” Busch said.
Matt Kenseth had the most frustrating day. Even though he finshed fifth at Martinsville, his highest finish in the Chase this year, he is still last in the standings, in 12th place and 462 points out of first.
Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin and Jeff Burton each moved up a spot in the standings, mainly because of Busch's bad race.
