NASCAR What If: The 2011 Chase Under 2015 Rules
Round Two Elimination
In round two of the chase Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth each won a race with the third being won by a non-chase driver. 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.
- Jimmie Johnson
- Matt Kenseth
- Carl Edwards
- Brad Keselowski
- Tony Stewart
- Kyle Busch
- Kevin Harvick
- Dale Earnhardt Jr.
—————————————————–
- 9th – Kurt Busch (-2)
- 10th – Ryan Newman (-4)
- 11th – Regan Smith (-19)
- 12th – Jeff Gordon (-2o)
Jeff Gordon struggled in this round while Jimmie Johnson ran well. Earnhardt Jr. took the 8th spot in the third round but it would have been a close battle as both Busch and Newman were within four points of him.
