NASCAR’s Jeff Gordon Spins The Fastest Lap For The Dover Race
By Keith Bloemendaal
Jeff Gordon spins the fast lap in qualifying today at Dover International Speedway for the Camping World RV 400 with a time of 22.921 and a speed of 157.061mph.
Earlier this year, Gordon started 7th at the Monster and finished 5th. Over the last 2 years he has finished in the top 12 at Dover for every race. Over Jeff Gordon's career, he has 4 wins, and 14 top 5's at the Monster Mile.
Coming into this race Jeff Gordon is 11th in Chase points, 99 points behind leaders Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson. Interesting facts to ponder:
no winner of the Dover Chase race has gone on to win the Cup Series championship during the Chase era,
and perhaps even more importantly, no Chase leader has entered Dover with the points lead and held it after the checkered flag.
The rest of the top 10 Qualifiers (bold indicates chase drivers):
- Jeff Gordon
- Mark Martin
- Denny Hamlin
- Kurt Busch
- Greg Biffle
- Clint Bowyer
- David Gilliland
- Matt Kenseth
- Jamie McMurray
- Dale Earnhardt Jr
Other Chase Drivers Qualified:
- Kyle Busch 11th
- Jimmie Johnson 20th
- Jeff Burton 21st
- Carl Edwards 22nd
- Kevin Harvick 24th
- Tony Stewart 33rd
Looking at these qualifying positions, Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards will be working hard to get to the front if they want to protect the shared lead they have now.
In June of this year, Kyle Busch won the Best Buy 400 with Carl Edwards and who else but, GREG BIFFLE running 3rd! Make sure you watch this race, I am sure there will be some action, points position changes, and who knows, maybe Kyle Busch will end up in the wall or put someone in the wall!

Richmond International Raceway Hosts Final Race Before Sprint Cup Chase: 4 Spots Still Up For Grabs!
By: Keith Bloemendaal
Clint Bowyer and the Jack Daniel's 07 Chevy Impala is sitting in 12th spot, on the bubble, with the final race set for Saturday September 6th, 2008. He is not safely in that position, and needs to qualify and race well on this Saturday Night Shoot Out!
Denny Hamlin in the #11 FedEx Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota is 76 points ahead of Bowyer in 11th place. That seems to be a good lead in points, but we have seen before that anything can happen, especially during Saturday Night racing on a short track.
Six drivers will be fighting for the final 4 spots in the Sprint Cup Chase. Even 8th place Tony Stewart in the Home Depot #20 Toyota is not safe with a lead of 121 points over the 12th place Bowyer.
Kasey Kahne is in 12th, 48 points back from the spot to get his #9 Budweiser Dodge in the Chase for the Cup. If he qualifies, and races well, he has a good chance of getting in the Chase, but will have to hope for some bad luck for David Ragan and Clint Bowyer.
All of this equals up to an exciting race in at Richmond International Raceway, on a Saturday night, with everything on the line for some drivers. This is do or die for those not locked in, and for the ones sitting just outside the bubble.
So, tighten up those belts, get up on that steering wheel, this will be NASCAR racing at its finest!
