" Are we're getting close we're getting close to half way through this NASCAR chase for the Sprint Cup Series championship in 2000 ran. We were down and now six to go is we have -- 500 dollar auto club speedway in books from Fontana California this past week Ian. -- what was kind of -- for a while but that 200 -- you -- out there about race and back. In the first 230. Laps 200 particular make up their race. The first 230 laps we only had cautions and actually a couple of three of those. We're just debris cautions. I think someone came in those drivers -- a lot we have less than 25 laps to go because when you look at the last fifteen laps. Of that 250 lap race we have three cautions including one red flag. But these twelve chase guys they continued. To prove and showed why they are part of this chase for the championship when you look. -- the top six finishers all of those teams -- chase drivers. In the you look at the top four finishers. Three of those our top three employees. Course Jimmy Johnson at 48 team Chad canals that continued just ran into. If we always say to -- continues to rise to the obvious winner third consecutive fall race. In auto club speedway it's your second win the chase. It is their fifth win of 2000 that name with that million. They actually took the points lead away from the teammate Mark -- car. In the and you look at the 42 car one problem and -- you finished third. In the first 26 races -- William Brown -- yeah 42 team. They only had ten top top finishes and now you look. The four races in the chase they have four top four finishes but you talk about -- closest chase is and how tight it is. Much what you were in the chase start and started four races ago. He was forty points out the league because he had no bonus points. He has four top top finishes now. And he has lost eighteen points to leader Jimmie Johnson's of this chase continues week in and week out to obese those old time. And you look at Mark Martin found Carr who has led the chase for the first three races he gets the top I finished. But because his teammate Jimmie Johnson at 48 team won the race he actually lost the points lead. Now honestly. I think it's up. But the sixteen race for this championship was six races to go six races is a lot of races but when I look at the fact that those guys threat there are separated 121 points and -- talk about. Is that 48 car. The fast car the 42 car the fourteen car. The two car in and Jeff Gordon 24 car who actually in front of the two car. Moved from seventh to fifth -- his second place finish for those sixteen dropped -- separated -- only a 121. Points."
