Due to wins Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman and Kurt Buschwould qualify for the chase in 2008 and the final six spots were set based on points seeing as how there were only 10 different winners in the first 26 races. The points are then reset and three points are awarded for each win. This would have marked the first time that Ragan made the chase.
