A look back at the twelve Chasers
12. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. – While many may argue that Dale Earnhardt, Jr., a disappointment in his first year was for driving Hendrick Motorsports juggernaut, his season was not so bad if against his team-mates weighed. Besides Jimmie Johnson, it is difficult to say that his players surpassed him. Jeff Gordon enjoyed several solid races at the end of the season, but overall still Earnhardt, Jr. led a race and more laps.Hendrick Motorsports was not the same operation, they were ascendant in 2007, so that the season in comparison to expectations . In 2009, expect Dale Earnhardt, Jr. to the 2008 season to improve and qualify for the Chase for the Championship for the second consecutive year. He will probably win a race or two.11. Matt Kenseth, the goose egg in the win column by Matt Kenseth in 2008 is quite confusing. Although Kenseth does not win races in bunches, he has at least one race in each season, won from 2002 to 2007. After a slow start to the season, Kenseth took the power but not at the level that he is accustomed. He scored 20 top ten finishes, more than any driver except Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch, the consistency was not the problem. He simply has not put back in position to win a often.In 2009, Kenseth was Victory Lane. In addition, a driver is missing with his consistency hardly the Chase for the Championship.10. Kyle Busch-Kyle Busch had covered the field for the first 26 races of the 2008 campaign, when he amassed eight wins. However, once the Chase for the Championship started, his championship aspirations suddenly disappeared. Suffering mechanical and performance problems followed Kyle Busch and the 18 teams in the last ten races.Overall Busch had won a great season in the NASCAR All three of the top NASCAR series, no other driver as much as Bush, as he recorded 21 A total of victories. It was also his first year pilot Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas.Kyle Busch can not win eight races in 2009, but he is one of the favorites for the Sprint Cup championship record, and rightly so. Expect him to win three or four races and fight for the championship.9. Tony Stewart-Tony Stewart was in the headlines quite frequently in 2008, but it was not for his achievements on the track. Stewart will seek in his own Sprint Cup 2009 Operating and also manage with Ryan Newman as his teammate. Ironically, Stewart began season with Newman’s unbearable past him on the back straight on the final lap of the Daytona 500.Stewart ‘s occurred only victory at Talladega, but it was in October, more than a year after his previous victory at Watkins Glen in August 2007.It is difficult to estimate how the 2009 season will transpire for Stewart and Stewart Haas Racing. Stewart will probably fight for profits on restrictor plate tracks and road course tracks, but other than that, we must take the wait and see approach.8. Denny Hamlin after his remarkable rookie season in 2006, Denny Hamlin has shown slight improvement. He is one of the more consistent driver in the series, and he has for the Chase for the total qualified, Busch had a great season in the championship in each of the last three seasons, but it’s time for Hamlin and the 11 teams fighting for championships. While his teammate Kyle Busch won eight races, Hamlin recorded only one win. However, Hamlin enjoyed strong performances in Atlanta, Phoenix and Homestead in the late season.In 2009, Hamlin looking for similar results as the last few years. Nevertheless, this could one of the few teams in the top twelve, the not fall.7 not return to the ten-race showdown next. Jeff Gordon is the first time since his rookie season in 1993, Jeff Gordon failed to reach Victory Lane. However it was not a terrible year for Gordon and the 24 group by all means. During the spring months, Gordon hit a little skid on the intermediate tracks, but the program appeared in the second half of the season to improve. Gordon’s season was similar to Matt Kenseth in the fact that he was competitive, just not enough for many victories challenge. Gordon wrote thirteen top five finishes and nine top ten Ten finishes.In 2009, Gordon is a race to win, if not two, three or four. It is still be too early to anoint him as the championship favorite, but not surprised that 24 cars chasing the championship next fall to see.
