Change in the Chase

NASCAR has called a teleconference for Tuesday with president Mike Helton and the presidents of Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama and Atlanta Motor Speedway.
It is expected that the three tracks will swap their fall races. It will give Fontana a race in the Chase and give Atlanta Motor Speedway the Labor Day weekend races.
Fontana will most likely get the Talladega race, the fourth race in the Chase. Talledega will get the Atlanta race, the seventh race in the Chase. Atlanta gets the Labor Day weekend races, which have been at Fontana since 2004.
The change in the schedule won't happen until 2009.
The Associated Press, citing unnamed sources in NASCAR, is reporting that Atlanta will get the Labor Day weekend races in 2009. There has been speculation that Atlanta and Fontana would swap races next year, but Talladega has not been reported as included in those discussions.
