Why did the Chase drivers finish where they did?(Driver reports)
1 Tony Stewart No. 20 A
The team's determination and loyalty to Stewart is unmatched. Once it figured out the new tire-spoiler combination, it was smooth sailing from Michigan in June to Homestead. In the final 22 races of the season, Smoke finished outside of the top 10 just three times. Kudos to the engine department for providing Stewart with incredible--and reliable--horsepower. If there were a higher grade, he would get it.
2 Greg Biffle No. 16 A-
For the first time since graduating to Cup, Biffle was a player all season. But the consistency the No. 16 enjoyed early in the season dissipated as the Chase progressed. Nonetheless, his season-ending victory showed Biffle can win the title in 2006 if he improves on road courses and at Martinsville.
3 Carl Edwards No. 99 A
Edwards exceeded all expectations with four victories and two poles. His ying to crew chief Bob Osborne's yang provides the perfect balance and makes Edwards a championship contender in 2006. If this team improves at short tracks, it will be lights out for the competition.
