So who's it gonna be this week?
Chris Buescher's surprising victory in the Pennsylvania 400 not only got him closer to Chase eligible, but it also could take away a berth for a driver near the cutoff mark, what we call the Chase bubble. Kasey Kahne, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Chase Elliott and Jamie McMurray might have to gamble and drive with a little more purpose if Buescher finishes 30th or better in the driver standings after September's Richmond race.
Buescher enters Watkins Glen six points behind 30th and could improve upon that with five regular-season races left before the Chase.
