6 locked in, 6 are not. As it stands, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is on the outside looking in and needs a really bad run from Kevin Harvick to make the Chase.
It is mathamatically impossible for Newman or anybody behind him to make the Chase for the 2007 Nextel Cup Championship. The only way Junyer can get in is if Busch has trouble early or if Harvick fumbles. Even then, it's a long shot (sorry Nacho
) because Harvick locks by finishing 34th or better.
And lets be fair about it, if Kevin Harvick had not had that run in with David Ragan in the Spring race, he would've won it easily.
