As i speculated before the ’05 season began, there will be a record
number of different pole-sitters in ’05 because of the new Cup
Impound Procedure. So far there have been 5 diff pole-sitters in
6 races. The record is 18 diff in ’01 & ’97. Congrats to Scott Riggs.
There is no evidence yet as to who will be in The Chase, but i will
let y’all know who at least 9 of 10 will be after 7.Texas.
My best speculation right now is:
JJ, Bif, TS, ESad, Ku, RN, JG, DEJ, & McM.
There MAY be 12 drivers in The ’05 Chase & 3 of these 6 could be in:
DJ, RW, MM, KH, Carl & Riggs.
Out of The ’05 Chase will be: Kenseth, BLabonte, Mayfield, JBurton, KK.
CRU-whose opinion may vary from yore’s.
