The name of the game in tonight's NASCAR race, UAW-GM Quality 500, at Lowe's Motor Speedway was tires. Fifteen cars failed to finish the race, all but one because of tire issues, mostly right fronts, though there were a few with right rear trouble. Among those, some of the drivers in the Chase for the Nextel Cup. These included Tony Stewart, Rusty Wallace, and Matt Kenseth. The standings for the drivers in the Chase have really tightened up. Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson are now tied for the lead. Kurt Busch made up 81 points on the leaders. There is now only 54 points between the leaders and 6th place. There are five more races left in the Chase. Things are bound to become quite interesting in the next 5 weeks.
