I agree, 32nd -36th is the battle for the Top 35.

If the 38 misses a race due to qualifying, it will make it hard for either the 26 or 38 to break inside. The 38 team has barely made the last few races on speed, last car on time the last 2 weeks.
The 71 will S&P (or Start & cruise) will do so trying to be the highest finishing of cars out of the race or many laps down, they still have Texas as a sponsored race w/ Labonte. The 34 & 37 are not running well lately and could fall close to the cutt off. FRM will definitely be targeting RGM & TRG as the 2 teams to beat the rest of the year. FRM has already stated if the 38 makes the cut they will again run 3 cars the first 5 races of 2011 and see if any sponsorship opportunities are available. If the 38 fails to make the Top 35, they will likely scale back to a 2 car team.

Of course there's a few teams going away next year.. the 98 Menard team and the 19 Sadler team. The 38, 26 (or both) could buy their way into those points from those teams (both are Ford and associated with Yates). The new Menard team will be fine if one of the RCR cars wins the Championship, if not RCR could get his points back from the 78 team (still listed as the owner on the entry lists). 9 races left and lots of questions remain at both ends of the Top 35.
