Just three years ago, the Chase looked a lot different than what we’re faced with in 2013. Back in 2010, the Chase field was made up of Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, Kyle Busch, Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton, Jimmie Johnson, and Clint Bowyer.
The 2012 champion will race the remaining 10 weeks but will not have a chance to win a second title. A 17th place finished in the Federated Auto Parts 400 along with a season of inconsistency kept him from making the Chase field. He fell to 16th in points and remains winless.
Carl Edwards picks up his second win of the season in the Federated Auto Part 400 at Richmond International Raceway.

Six guys have already claimed their top-10 spots when The Chase begins next week at Chicago – Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, and Matt Kenseth…that’s 2 Chevy’s, a Ford, and 3 Toyotas in case you're keeping score.
