NASCAR returns to the fifth-race Chase to the roots, because around the Lowe's Motor Speedway is home to most teams. Also, here since 1960, two race of the season.

This week, I save myself, mainly from lack of time, the analysis for Fontana race, the study calls but then again tribute! Of course I will be the impact of race on the points table is not left out, but more on that later. Fontana only briefly summarized: This was last weekend - after promising start - one of the famous Jimmie Johnson luster performances in which he every now and then completely dominated the race but otherwise his third victory in the fall races in a row. The now second chase victory brought him almost to the top of the championship rankings, where he replaced Mark Martin. This week, waiting for us with the October race at Lowe's Motor Speedway a true classic, as the race is run since 1960:

With nearly 50 years the Lowe's Motor Speedway in the Sprint Cup one of the older

From 1959-1960 was the time as "Charlotte Motor Speedway" known oval of Bruton Smith built for dirt cheap now 1.25 million U.S. dollars in Concord, North Carolina. With 167,000 spectators, the track is also one of the big five in NASCAR when it comes to this category. The Speedway is still owned by Speedway Motorsports Inc., and thus constitutes something of a flagship line of the company, whose corporate headquarters is also located on the site. Similarly, the area around Charlotte, North Carolina, the home of most NASCAR teams: 90% of all race teams have their headquarters within a radius of 80km around the speedway built around some "directly opposite" even. In 1999, the route their naming rights sold to the U.S. home improvement chain, who is also a sponsor of Jimmie Johnson. After this year, said the contract runs out, however, so that in future the Oval regains its original name.

1.5 miles and 24 degrees banking make the Lowe's Motor Speedway in one of the fastest tracks calendar. The layout will share the oval with his well in 1960 opened sister track in Atlanta and the still relatively new Texas Motor Speedway: All distances are "quad ovals", so they have the usual four turns, but a curved two links Knicks start-finish straight, thus they are of "D-shaped" ovals differ slightly. Except for the October race in Charlotte (Concord really) still run in May, where the NASCAR on two consecutive weekends directly show a similarly large as the "Daytona Speedweeks" rears. On the all-star race a week follows later with the Coca-Cola 600 is the longest race of the year. 2005 was one to its name because it was so far the only race that lasted more than five hours, except for red-phase. Debt was Goodyear, the tires brought to an inappropriate route, which was previously a carriageway reconstruction. Record-breaking 22 Cautions were the result.

This year, David Reutimann won the Coca-Cola 600 after he secured with a daring tactical Strategiezug leadership: When deciding pit stop Reutimann, Robby Gordon Ryan Newman and just stayed on the track to benefit from the incoming rain. After an hour, then was in the well layer and "The Franchise" was able to celebrate his first Cup victory. The same scenario went through this season, Joey Logano already in New Hampshire. The October race was stopped early by the way has never in its history due to rain, always managed to at least complete the race distance. The Coca-Cola 600 on the other hand experienced four times in nearly 50 years, a racing crash, before the 600 miles were driven completely. Nevertheless, a truly fantastic record in regard to the often rain-plagued NASCAR. In 2007 there were then the first "green-white-checkered finish" is what remains to this day unique.

Gordon and Johnson were by far the most successful active drivers

The list of previous winners still active lead with Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, two Hendrick drivers, each of which date back five victories but for different times. While Gordon won four of his success in the '90s, Johnson was completely undefeated in Charlotte in 2004 and 2005. Lurks behind both Mark Martin, his 4 victories would like to add a fifth to catch up to his teammates. Kasey Kahne, who finished the Johnson's dominance with its own error-free Charlotte in 2006, shares a placement in the standings with Jeff Burton: Both drivers were able to win 3 times already. Two successes go far Bill Elliott in the '80s and Bobby Labonte to his tenure at Joe Gibbs Racing. Matt Kenseth, Jamie McMurray, Tony Stewart, Casey Mears and David Reutimann were able to advance only one time in Victory Lane.

It is noticeable that the line probably due to the back of the Hendrick drivers, with Jimmie Johnson succeeded but since 2007 after three years no dominant Top5 earnings more. Mark Martin was also in recent years not been very successful in Charlotte, but this can be justified by his commitment to Dale Earnhardt Inc. Juan Pablo Montoya was able to penetrate the Coca-Cola 600 for the first time in the top 10 and without the gasoline in the spring Taktierereien would even be a top 5 result have been possible. In his first two years he put his car into the wall twice and did not otherwise regularly 30th place out. The recovery this year makes the bad results of the past but forgot. Tony Stewart is not a good place Charlotte, his top 5 results dating the beginning of the decade. Jeff Gordon's statistics are quite black and white, either because it runs really well for him and he comes to the finish in the top 5 or anything goes wrong completely. The show specifically the years 2005 to 2007, where five races in six failures facing a victory.

Kurt Busch is the last driver that is still within reach of the top group. The weekend is not a cakewalk, because in Charlotte stand for him since the start of his Cup career until three top 10 results in the books. Of the two moving in the Chase Roush Fenway teammate Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards, I do not trust Edwards most likely a top 5 ranking. Carl has in recent years quite well beaten, while Biffle has only sporadically been in the top 10 finish. For Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne and Brian Vickers, the season would have gone, especially for the latter two drivers. More than a bad result may be in the Chase do not just do that is now well know Vickers, who was found in the first four playoff race even in the top 10. And yet I write it, at least for the race at Lowe's Motor Speedway does not complete: His results show on this track that he could reach with the Red Bull Toyota, the top 5, which he did twice before.

Denny Hamlin and Ryan Newman's performance is best to compare the Greg Biffle: A Top 10 result there is a good weekend. When Kasey Kahne I expect quite a top 5 result, for his three victories make him safe appetite for more. Outside the Chase Kyle Busch and Jeff Burton are serious win candidate. All in all, the Lowe's Motor Speedway that is good for an outsider like to succeed, what would like some gentlemen in the lower ranks well. Above all, there is a chance to retaliate for the easily decapitated driver in the Chase. Maybe Montoya wins his first oval race, and expressed himself really seriously into the championship event.

In Chase not miss the boat, and only four drivers within 100 points

Finally, a look at the current championship standings, which has just now Jimmie Johnson after two playoff victories with 12 points ahead of Mark Martin's nose. Juan Pablo Montoya and Tony Stewart follow the dominant duo in positions 2 and 3 with 58 and 84 points behind. Jeff Gordon has 105 points behind still chances for the championship, but should be similar to Montoya slowly follow a victory, because in contrast to the leaders not to crack. After Kurt Busch (-121), the table divides into two halves, but definitely, because from Greg Biffle (-188) and Carl Edwards (-192) are likely to number 7 and 8, the rest of the driver probably no role in the fight for the championship crown . play Denny Hamlin (-219), Ryan Newman (-223) and especially Kasey Kahne (-306) and Brian Vickers (-351) in 2009 can probably put final with the exception of any individual victories in the files.

The "NASCAR Banking 500" is the last night of racing this year and will therefore start in the night between Saturday and Sunday at about 01:45 clock. ABC begins with the preliminary reports by 1 clock. The Nationwide Series driving the night before at about 2 clock on ESPN2, starting at 01:30 to send the clock. The trucks we see only in Martinsville back in the coming week.

News this week, there were not very many, so here in abbreviated form:
Danica Patrick has not yet applied for a NASCAR license in 2010, an exhibition is, however, with the exception of the super speedways to be safe. / Wave Energy Drink its sponsorship deal with the # 36 Tommy Baldwin has expanded. Maybe Michael McDowell should turn in the future of rare early in the race to the garage. / TRG Motorsports is brought in connection with Dodge in 2010 and aims to ensure that Penske is not alone on a limb. One would like to Bobby Labonte as the driver of the # 71 and would also like to bring a second car at the start. This makes sense only if at least can provide sponsorship for Labonte. / David Reutimann also need sponsors for 2010! This year, there was still sponsor Aaron's gracious and took over the entire season. Next year, you pay only half of the race and according to Michael Waltrip Racing are still 12 races without pay.
