Nextel Cup points as of Vegas

[KFDM COOP]

Nextel Cup points as of Vegas. (unofficially)

Here are Nacar.com's unofficial points standing as of Vegas. Gordon is now 2nd and Martin is barely clinging on the the points lead. Can you imagine finishing in the top 10 in the first 3 races with 2 2nd place finishes and still being 2nd in points?! Martin may REALLY want to re-consider not running a full season! Poor ol' Mikey Waltrip. 50 cars listed in the points and he is still DL. Maybe he is reaping what he sowed?
