With only 15 points separating the top two drivers, the closest championship in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cups seven-year history wont be won easily. The only way points leader #11-Denny Hamlin can guarantee a clinch of his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship is by either finishing second while leading the most laps or winning next Sundays season finale Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. #48-Jimmie Johnson, in second, and #29-Kevin Harvick, in third, are the only other drivers still eligible to win the 2010 title. Harvick trails Hamlin by 46 points. Hamlins 15-point lead is the closest margin between first and second in Chase history, bettering the 18-point difference Kurt Busch held over Johnson in 2004.(NASCAR)(11-14-2010)
