(UPDATE) -- The second event in the 10-race Chase for the championship is Sunday afternoon at Dover. Kyle Busch is one contender with a big gain this week. He moved up four spots to fifth in the Nextel Cup point standings. He has got his eyes on who he will need to outrun for a a Dover win. "Matt Kenseth is always good there and Ryan Newman was good," said Busch.
Matt Kenseth will run a different setup compared to his June setup at Dover. The strategy of making setup adjustment for the second race at a track has worked well for him at other tracks. "From the first New Hampshire to the second New Hampshire we ran a drastically different setup and ran a fare amount better," said Kenseth. Last year, Jeff Burton ended a 175 race victory drought with a September win at Dover. He knows the key to a Dover win. "You get that thing to hug the bottom and be able to get into the throttle quick, that's how you get races won at Dover," said Burton. The top seven contenders for the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series title are now separated by only 54 points.
