One-fourth of the Chase for the Nextel Cup population had a good day (and night!) at Kansas Speedway on Sunday.The remaining three-fourths would have gladly taken Dorothy's trip to Oz instead of their 210 travels around the 1.5 mile circuit Sunday.
The disparity was pretty clean cut as Jimmie Johnson left with the point lead and Denny Hamlin left with a 248 point deficit in twelfth.

Tony Stewart was a hothead after cutting a tire and then getting booted by Kurt Busch while trying to find pit road. That incident collected Carl Edwards, leaving him with his 2nd DNF in as many days at Kansas. Busch ended with a decent day in 11th that should have been oh-so-much better with the way his car handled before the second rain delay.
