As my colleague Brant James pointed out, earlier this week, the 12-car field is composed of four former champions and drivers who have combined to win 282 races on the Cup level. With such depth and no team with a clear momentum advantage, this year's fight for the title trophy is wide open.</description><pubDate>Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:44:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Tim Tuttle: Ryan Newman's move to Stewart-Haas Racing has paid off</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tim_tuttle/09/15/chase/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tim_tuttle/09/15/chase/index.html</guid><description>Ryan Newman hadn't been in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship since 2005, and it wasn't expected in the first season of Stewart-Haas Racing.

With just 105 points separating fifth-place Carl Edwards from Brian Vickers in 13th, that leaves dozens of potential playoff scenarios. There's only one thing we know for sure among the madness: it's the best possible scenario for a sport that's been all too predictable in recent years.</description><pubDate>Thu, 10 Sep 2009 20:07:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Tim Tuttle: Montoya can complete open-wheel conversion at Richmond</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tim_tuttle/09/08/Montoya.Chase/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tim_tuttle/09/08/Montoya.Chase/index.html</guid><description>Patience is a requirement in Sprint Cup, not an option. There are situations that call for racing as hard as you can for position, those when you ride and hold and those when you let somebody go. It has everything to do with how good your car is, keeping it under control and getting to the next pit stop to make it better.</description><pubDate>Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:47:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Bruce Martin: After disappointment at Atlanta, Busch almost out of time</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/bruce_martin/09/07/Chase/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/bruce_martin/09/07/Chase/index.html</guid><description>MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- After a successful Labor Day weekend race at Atlanta Motor Speedway that drew perhaps the track's biggest crowd this decade, the pressure to make the Chase is increasing on one of the biggest names in NASCAR Sprint Cup racing.</description><pubDate>Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:59:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Mark Beech: Thirteenth in points, Kyle Busch may be in driver's seat</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/mark_beech/08/13/Racing_Fan/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/mark_beech/08/13/Racing_Fan/index.html</guid><description>The fine folks at my favorite NASCAR blog, All Left Turns have a very interesting probability table that analyzes the Chase-qualifying chances of several drivers.

As the curtain rises on this year's Indy 500, Dario Franchitti finds himself running open-wheel after just one failed season attempting to transition into Sprint Cup. He joins Jacques Villeneuve, Sarah Fisher and Patrick Carpentier as recent examples of how success in one form of motorsports doesn't always translate somewhere else -- failures that make others wary of attempting to make the jump (Danica, are you listening?).</description><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2009 21:58:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Risers/Sliders: D-Line and LBs</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/02/23/monday.risers.sliders/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/02/23/monday.risers.sliders/index.html</guid><description>A fast group of defensive linemen were center stage at the NFL combine on Monday and were followed by a faster group of linebacker prospects.
