Three more lock themselves into the Chase

Johnson, Earnhardt Jr. and Burton locked themselves into the Chase with their runs at California.  Typical of California, it was a follow the leader race and the front car, which happened to be Johnson, ran away with it.  Strange how he didn't have any problems with his car being overly loose like everyone else, it seems like everyone but Johnson was complaining about the car being loose.

Greg Biffle had a great finish of second, but didn't have enough for Johnson, all Biffle has to do is start at Richmond to lock himself in, the rest of the drivers  have to go by where they finish.  Harvick had a good run, finishing 4th after starting 33rd, he hasn't locked himself in the Chase yet, but just has have a good finish.  Also good finishes by the Red Bull cars.

Two of the cautions were kind of comical, one being for a caution light falling on to the track and another where part of a caution light fixture falling on to the track.  It would seem that with all the money the track is taking in that those lights would be secure enough to withstand the force of the wind caused by the cars going by.

Clint Bowyer is still in the last Chase spot as of now, but he's only 17 points ahead of Ragan and 44 points ahead of Kahne, all need great runs at Richmond if they want to make it in.
