NASCAR What If: The 2006 Chase Under 2014 Rules
Round Three Elimination
During the third round of the chase Stewart won two races and Harvick won the third to punch their tickets to the championship race.. This was also the best round of 2006 because seven of the eight drivers ran very well in this round and that would have produced some nice drama. The final-four are arranged based on how they stood in points after the third round even though points reset before the final race.
- Tony Stewart
- Kevin Harvick
- Dale Earnhardt Jr.
- Denny Hamlin
——————————————————
- 5th – Carl Edwards (-5)
- 6th – Matt Kenseth (-6)
- 7th – Kurt Busch (-8)
- 8th – Mark Martin (-42)
This round was filled with good racing. When it was all said and done only 13 points separated 3rd place Dale Earnhardt Jr. and 7th place Kurt Busch. Mark Martin struggled mightily during this three-race stretch.
