In round two of the chase Stewart won the opening race which for him was one race too late. The next two races were won by Burton and Johnson which helped move them into the next round. After the second round four more drivers were eliminated and the top-8 moved on which can be seen below. The top-8 are arranged by how they were in points after the second round even though points reset before the third round begins.
- Jeff Burton
- Jimmie Johnson
- David Ragan
- Clint Bowyer
- Kevin Harvick
- Greg Biffle
- Jeff Gordon
- Denny Hamlin
—————————————————–
- 9th – Carl Edwards (-5)
- 10th – Dale Earnhardt Jr. (-5)
- 11th – Kasey Kahne (-11)
- 12th – Matt Kenseth (-13)
The biggest surprise in this round would have once again been that of David Ragan. Aside from the drivers who won in this round, Ragan had the most points of the remaining chase drivers. Another surprise was Edwards falling out. Edwards was second in the series in wins to this point only to Kyle Busch who was eliminated after the first round.
