NOTES

 

ท          DOES ANYONE REALIZE THAT JEFF GORDON CAN CLINCH A SPOT IN THE CHASE AT POCONO?  Incredibly, points leader Jeff Gordon can clinch a spot in the 2007 Chase by gaining 104 points on 13^th place at Pocono Sunday.  It’s all about wins for the #24 from here through Richmond.

 

ท          RALLYING CRY FOR MONTOYA? REMEMBER KENSETH IN 2005: Juan Pablo Montoya’s second at Indy gained him 104 points over 12^th-place Dale Earnhardt Jr. JPM is now six spots and 200 points out of 12^th.  Two years ago, Matt Kenseth stood 7 spots and 213 points out at this time.
