NOTES:
MARK MARTIN HAVING THE THIRD BEST CHASE IN HISTORY: Miracle Mark Martin has pounded out 5716 points in four races of Chase VI, but three-time champ Jimmie Johnson is setting the most torrid pace in Chase history, with 5728 points thus far. Johnson is 10 points ahead of his ‘08 pace, which was record-setting at the time. Mark’s fifth at California caused him to surrender the Chase lead to Johnson, but he lurks only 12 points out.
