McMurray 15th in Cup standings

Six races to go before the Chase starts and things do not look good for driver Jamie McMurray.
The winner of the Pepsi 400 is 15th in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series standings and is running out of time to qualify for the Chase. The top 12 drivers in the Cup standings will be eligible for the Chase.
The next race for the Cup drivers is at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania. The last time the Cup drivers were there in June, McMurray finished 29th in the rain-shortened race. His team is bringing that same car back to Pocono.
“Last time we visited Pocono, I thought we had a pretty good car going into the weekend, but when we put the car on the track, it didn’t perform like we thought it would," said McMurray, driver of the No. 26 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "After the shortened race, we brought back all the data we collected over the weekend and made a lot of changes for this trip back to Pocono. It’s a track that I really enjoy racing at even though my results really don’t reflect that, I really do. It’s a track that is so different from any of the other tracks that we run at."
McMurray is coming off a 33rd-place finish at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
“This past weekend at Indy, I thought we had a pretty good car, certainly one capable of running in the top 10," McMurray said. "However, the bad luck continued. I’m glad we didn’t lose that much ground in terms of points, but it’s one of those weekends you wish could have played out differently. Hopefully we have worked out all the bad luck and can focus on the upcoming races.”
