Due to wins Kyle Busch, David Reutimann and Joey Logano would qualify for the chase in 2009 and the final four spots were set based on points seeing as how there were only 12 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 Reutimann and Montoya made the chase.
