Crossed flags are displayed. Sometime Saturday night - barring rain - the Sprint Cup Series will have reached the halfway point in the 2009 season.

So far…

Rookies (One is a rookie owner) have won three races.

Mark Martin and the Shrub have three wins each.

Martin and Rowdy are a combined 888 points behind rookie Tony Stewart.

17 points separate the five drivers from 14th place to 10th. Kasey Kahne is one point out of the Chase. Juan Pablo Montoya is “in” by one.

Owner Richard Petty has a win. Owner Richard Childress doesn’t.

Tony Eury Jr is still “out”. Dale Earnhardt Jr is still “in”.

Danica Patrick is still in open wheel racing. Tony George isn’t.

18 races to go.
