Kurt Busch has the coveted 10th position in the points going into the final race of the season, with Terry Labonte 56 points behind and Jeff Burton 107 back. This is the third straight year that the Cup championship has been won by a former rookie of the year. The other two were Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart. If he does not win at Homestead, Kenseth will be the first driver since Benny Parsons in 1973 with only one win in his championship season. Kenseth joins CART’s Paul Tracy and NHRA Funny Car star Tony Pedregon in winning championships for Ford this season.( CBS/AP )(11-10-2003)
