Overdue Drivers

Kasey Kahne's victory in last Saturday's All-Star Race in Charlotte was his first in 19 months, but it was not a Sprint Cup points race. Kahne (right), who won six times in 2006, remains one of several big names who have yet to reach Victory Lane this year in a points-paying event. Here are four more.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Super consistent (eight top 10s in 11 starts), but bad luck and a tendency for his number 88 Chevy to lose speed on long, green-flag runs have cost him.

Jeff Gordon
Number 24 Chevy has handled poorly in traffic, the same problem that plagued the team in 2006. But history is on Gordon's side: He hasn't gone winless since 1993.

Matt Kenseth
Hasn't been the same driver since longtime crew chief Robbie Reiser left at the end of 2007. Chemistry with replacement Chip Bolin must improve.

Tony Stewart
His public pondering over leaving Joe Gibbs Racing has been a distraction for his team. Don't forget, Stewart has a history of heating up in the summer months.
