Kahne Wins California; Stays In Hunt For The Chase

Kasey Kahne picked up his fifth win of the 2006 season, but more than the win Kahne drew a few points closer to making the chase. Even with a top five finish Carl Edwards will have to wait till next year to make the chase as him and Greg Biffle were eliminated from contention. The rest of the top five consisted of Dale Jr., Clint Bowyer, Carl Edwards and Jeff Gordon. With one race left it looks as if it will come down to "bad luck", meaning that if one of the bottom drivers in the top ten run into trouble then it could allow Kahne to sneak in. Should be an exciting race from Richmond.
