NOTES:
MARTIN, JOHNSON CREATE EARLY SEPARATION: Chase history tells us true contenders rarely fall far out of range of the lead, and Mark Martin and Jimmie Johnson have certainly set a blistering pace over the first two races. Only Juan Montoya (-65) and Kurt Busch (-75) have managed to stay within 100 points of the lead in the first 20% of Chase VI. Plenty can happen but Johnson just posted his 28th consecutive Top 15 finish in a Chase event, 8th win and 19th Top 5 over the same 28 races.
MONTOYA PEAKING AT THE RIGHT TIME: Juan Pablo Montoya continued his breakthrough

“GO TIME” FOR TONY:
Tony Stewart stayed in reasonable Chase contention with a 9th
