NASCAR brought the action to two tracks last week, Atlanta and Lime Rock, and in fitting fashion the action spilled over into the Point Standings as you can see below.

The Chase Updates: Atlanta/Lime Rock

The Chase Updates tracks drivers and teams who have been mathematically eliminated from finishing 1st, Top 5, Top 10, or qualifying for The Chase. It also highlights those who have clinched spots in The Chase or specific points standings positions.

“Mathematically eliminated” means a driver cannot reach a position, even by earning the maximum 76 points in every remaining race.

Only drivers and teams who have attempted every race in their respective Series will be included, in accordance with NASCAR rules (unless exempted).

Finally, these updates also assume that no driver misses any remaining races and that every full-time driver earns at least one (1) point in each event.

Red indicates that the driver and/or team is new to the respective list
