Last weekend NASCAR added back a new track back, in Chicagoland, and down below there are some new names added to the Chase Updates lists.
The Chase Updates: Chicagoland
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
NASCAR Cup Series (7 races remaining)

Ty Dillon was able to bring home a Top 20 at Chicagoland, but that wasn’t good enough to keep him (or his 10 team) mathematically alive for 1st place at the end of the Regular Season. Photo by Patrick Gorski — Icon Sportswire via Getty Images
