Three Drivers, Two Races, One Championship

The Chase comes down to 2 races left in the season, and it’s still extremely tight between the top 3 drivers. Denny Hamlin has taken over the points lead over Jimmie Johnson by 33 after Texas. Kevin Harvick sits in third place just 59 points behind the leader, this Championship is still up for grabs with race #9 from Phoenix coming up this weekend.

So how do the top 3 Chase Drivers fair when it comes to Phoenix?

Points leader Denny Hamlin – has five top fives in 10 starts, no wins however

Second place Jimmie Johnson tops them all, with four wins of the last six races there, and has finished in the top five in each of the last eight.

Kevin Harvick – has two Cup wins in 15 starts, one Nationwide win, and four Truck Series wins at the 1 mile flat oval in the desert.

….By the way, the Chase driver leading with 2 races to go has won the Championship every single year
