Who's Not?
Spinning out on the first lap of the Coca-Cola 600 may have been enough to take Dale Jarrett and the Big Brown Truck out of championship contention. The last place finish at the 600 dropped Dale 4 spots in the points standings to 16th place, -590 points out of 1st and -155 points out of 10th place. 155 points may not sound insurmountable. However, when you look at who is sitting just in front of Dale and also looking to qualify, Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle, you may get cold shivers down your spine.Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle both come from a championship organization, Roush Racing, and are both young gun-slingers with an appetite for winning races. Dale is in the twilight of his career and on the verge of switching teams. I very seriously doubt his team has a lot of chemistry right now, and I doubt Dale is committed to his team. I haven't heard any rumblings of team problems or lack of commitment from Dale, but from an outsider looking in, these would be logical conclusions to a lackluster season.
