We’re just more than the halfway stage with the NASCAR Sprint Cup period, but only 7 races stay till NASCAR’s edition with the playoffs — the ‘Chase for your Championship’ — starts. The present stretch we’re in now is known as the ‘Race towards the Chase’ because the drivers battle to become among the leading twelve drivers following race No. 26.
This many years ’Race towards the Chase’ includes a small much more pleasure constructed into than other many years since the last two positions are offered to drivers inside the top-20 in factors which have probably the most wins. Tony Stewart and Clint Bowyer are presently 11th and 12th in factors, but neither has any wins around the yr.
Because it sits now, Bowyer could be bumped out by David Ragan (13th in factors) around the foundation of Ragan’s Daytona get. Ought to Brad Keselowski get himself in to the top-20 — he’s presently 23rd — he would consider more than the spot held by Stewart due to Keselowski‘s Kansas get.
The drivers now discover on their own in considerably of the problem, particularly Bowyer and Stewart. Do they generate cautiously and attempt to create the Chase on factors by obtaining in to the top-10 or do they go all out and attempt to get among the remaining 7 races? Clearly, they’d love to do each, but most likely will accentuate their stance much more because the producing around the wall turns into clearer.
