Because anything can happen.

For weeks, this has been the race that drivers in NASCAR's Chase For The Sprint Cup have pointed to when it comes to a potential points shakeup.

With the cars racing in tight packs at high speeds, it's a formula for disaster. One wrong move by any competitor can end the race for several - and drivers know it. This is the race where a team has the least ability to control its own destiny. Therefore, it's the one that could wreak the most havoc on the standings.

Not wishing misfortune on anyone, but this race bears watching just to see how it plays out for the men still chasing the 2009 title.
