Which Driver Will Take The Final Victory Lap For The Chase?

By Brian Connors
Friday night's Busch race gave foreboding signs to NASCAR drivers before Saturday's Cup event at Lowe's Motor Speedway after that race was interrupted by a record 14 cautions.

The next night 16 drivers including five Chase competitors encountered problems with blown tires as experienced the night before due to a smoothed track surface from its previous trademark bumps. The Goodyear tires could not adequately grip the revised track surface after the increased dizzying driver speeds which led to blowout anxiety or casualty for many.

The night was fraught with adversity for all of the drivers but one rose above the obstacles and prevailed. Jimmie Johnson succeeded to win despite tire troubles as well as a mid-race battery switch and a shaky electrical system and also even a failed alternator. Jimmie also started 41st due to a failed engine before qualifying.

Will it competitively propel Tony Stewart to resume his 2005 stranglehold on wins as well as top 5 and top 10 finishes after finishing a humbling 25th at Lowe's? Or will fate cause a shakeout leading to a storybook ending for one of the other contenders including the retiring Mark Martin or Rusty Wallace? The showdown is upon us now and looking like it could be a classic.
