The last 3 Chase races have been the Chase Briscoe and someone else show, and at Charlotte it was Briscoe who got the best of his opponent once again.
The Chase Updates: Charlotte
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.
Now that The Chase for all 3 series’ is set this article series will shift to updating how The Chase standings changes from week to week. Along with this there will be updates for whenever a driver/owner is eliminated from Championship contention, and when it comes time the scenarios for a driver/team to clinch the Championship.
Red indicates that the driver and/or team is new to the respective list
