NASCAR Point Standings as of 10/28/07
All three of NASCAR’s major series were in action this week and things are really starting to heat up in the point standings! Jeff Gordon was able to hang on to his lead in the Nextel Cup standings, but his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson closed the gap and is now within a measly nine points of the top spot after his win in Atlanta this weekend. The Craftsman Trucks are also in a tight race for the top with Mike Skinner and Ron Hornaday see-sawing every week. While the Busch Series isn’t nearly as close, Carl Edwards has been struggling lately and hasn’t been able to clinch the title as of yet.
To see where the top 50 drivers stand in all three of the series, keep reading after the jump.
