Convertible...again?

We have arrived in Richmond, Va for the second race here of the season and the last race to make it into the Chase for the Sprint Cup. The Chase for the Sprint Cup, originally known as "The Chase for the Championship" during its creation, and then "The Chase for the Nextel Cup" (from 2004 to 2007) is the championship system used in NASCAR's top division, the Sprint Cup Series. The Chase was announced on January 21, 2004, and first used during the 2004 Nextel Cup Series. The format used from 2004 to 2006 was modified slightly for the 2007 season. The 10 race Chase pits the 12 drivers with the highest "regular season" points against each other, while racing in the standard field of 43 cars. Beginning with the 2008 Sprint Cup Series, the Chase will be known by its new name as a result of the merger of Nextel Communications with Sprint Corporation. The driver with the most points after the final 10 races is declared the champion. Currently 5 drivers have already been locked into the Chase. They are Kyle Busch (8 wins this season), Carl Edwards (6 wins), Jimmie Johnson (3 wins), Dale Earnhardt, Jr. (1 win), and Jeff Burton (1 win). Greg Biffle stands in 6th and will lock into the Chase just by starting his engine when the race starts.
I'll get into the bubble guys in my next post. I have some personal favorites and some personal not-so-favorites.
The next question is when will the "Rock and Roll 400" take place. We are closely monitoring Hannah and Ike...Hannah will probably dump a lot of rain on us on Friday and Saturday, so, with the race scheduled to be held on Saturday night, I think we will be here at least one extra day this week.
Sanford got us hooked up with another Sebring Convertible this week. We flew into Norfolk (since that is the closest Southwest gets to Richmond) and drove the 2 hours to the track.
I could get used to convertibles.
