So I think everyone can stop feeling soooo sorry for Tony Stewart now. With two wins in a row he is now fifth in points. Stewart has come on strong as usual with the race year winding down, and will be a serious threat for the championship this year. Stewart has always been a momentum driver anyway, when Stewart's on he's the best, but when he gets down he often times has trouble getting back up. Remember, if they had let twelve drivers into the chase last year like they do now, Stewart would have probably won the championship with how hot he got late.
Hendrick Motorsports still has to be the favorite though, with Jeff Gordon getting a third place finish and Kyle Busch getting fourth. Gordon's point lead continues to grow, and with him being tied with the most wins (four wins), will most likely be in the lead once the chase starts. Reigning champ Jimmie Johnson is having an unfortunate stretch of races, with a DNF today after his car was engulfed in flames, but is still ninth in points and once the chase starts, will most likely have a decent point advantage as well with his four wins so far. It is a bad time to start losing momentum however, and it is conceivable that he could miss the chase entirely if he cannot get away from all of the bad luck that he has been having.
