in 2008 Kurt Busch is now in the mix since Penske Racing switched owners points between the #2 and the #77 [was #06] after the 007 season, which was ok'd by NASCAR. #44-Dale Jarrett and #21-Bill Elliott are next in line. The other past champs are all in the top-35 in owners points and do not need the use of the past champ provisional, at least for the first five races. Jarrett retires after the 5th race at Bristol. 1996 [and 1984] champ, Terry Labonte, has made no indication that he would run any races in 2008. He ran three races for MWR in the #55 car. Jarrett used all 6 of his past champ provisional's in the first 9 races of the 2008 season and missed some races because of it.
Elliott is scheduled to run around 17 races for the Wood Brothers in the #21 Ford throughout the season
