RICHMOND, Va. -- The "Drive for Five" is alive, but not for Jeff Gordon. Instead, it's Carl Edwards, the surprise Nextel Cup title contender who gives car owner Jack Roush five chances to win the Chase for the championship.

The second year of NASCAR's 10-race, playoff-style finish will feature five Roush Racing cars in its 10-driver field -- including Saturday's winner Kurt Busch -- after Edwards and Matt Kenseth locked up two of the final spots with solid runs at Richmond International Raceway.

The season is just beginning for Roush, who has a 50 percent chance to win his third consecutive Cup title. He heads into the Chase with momentum after Busch won Saturday night's race and was followed by Kenseth and Greg Biffle. It gave Roush a sweep of the top three -- the first team to do so since 1997.

"I'm sure Jack is pretty happy right now," Kenseth said. "He gives us everything we need to run up front."

The Roush contingent will be led by Busch, the defending Nextel Cup champion, Biffle, Mark Martin, and Edwards -- the shock of the group.  More
