The 2007 Chevy Rock & Roll 400 was the twenty-sixth and final "regular season" race in the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup season. The race was run on Saturday night, September 8, 2007 at Richmond International Raceway in Henrico County, Virginia, just outside of Virginia's state capital. The race was the eleventh to use NASCAR's Car of Tomorrow template, and also the first race to be telecast on ABC. Following the race, the top twelve drivers in the point standings entered the Chase for the NEXTEL Cup, and all drivers had their points reset to 5,000 points, with a ten-point bonus for each race they have won in the prior 26 races. ==In The Chase== Through September 2, these drivers have clinched a spot in the "post-season:" #Jeff Gordon (#24 DuPont Chevrolet) #Denny Hamlin (#11 FedEx Chevrolet) #Matt Kenseth (#17 DeWalt Tools Ford) #Carl Edwards (#99 Office Depot Ford) #Tony Stewart (#20 The Home Depot Chevrolet) #Jimmie Johnson (#48 Lowe's Chevrolet) #Jeff Burton (#31 AT&T Chevrolet) #Kyle Busch (#5 Carquest/Kellogg's Chevrolet) The following drivers clinched a spot in the chase by taking the green flag for this race: *Clint Bowyer (#07 Jack Daniels/DirecTV Chevrolet) *Martin Truex Jr. (#1 Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Boats Chevrolet) The remaining spots were decided as well. Kurt Busch needed to finish 36th or better without leading a lap or 39th or better when leading a lap while Kevin Harvick needed to finish 32nd or better without leading a lap or 34th or better while leading a lap (worth five bonus points) to lock himself in. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. needed help for a case of bad luck from either Kurt Busch or Harvick in order to make the Chase. Hypathetically, had the Chase started with this race, Johnson would have had a ten-point lead over Jeff Gordon, with Bowyer in last place, as he has not been to Victory Lane in his career. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2007 Chevy Rock & Roll 400」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
