NASCAR Standings as of 9/30/07
After the crazy race in Kansas, the Chase contenders got all mixed up in the standings. There were both big gainers and big losers this week, as the majority of the drivers in the Chase got caught up in wrecks on the slick and wet track. Carl Edwards still leads the Busch Series standings, but his enormous lead was chipped into slightly as he ended up 38th in the Busch race in Kansas. To see the current standings in both series for the top 50 drivers, continue reading after the jump. The Craftsman Trucks had the weekend off, so the standings have not changed since last week’s round up.
