2015 NASCAR Week 24 Chase Standings

2015 Chase Standings After 24 Races



By Richard Tix

Another race down and the pressure ramps up. NASCAR leaves Bristol Motor Speedway behind for 2015 and heads into a bye week. After some needed time off teams pack back up and head to Darlington Raceway and then Richmond International Raceway before the Chase grid is locked. 

Joey Logano win at BMS jumping him up two spots from 5th to 3rd. Jamie McMurray kept his spot as the number one driver in points without a win which almost locks him into a spot in the Chase. Newman, Menard, and Gordon are all but locked in as long as someone outside the top 16 now doesn't win one of the remaining two races.

Bowyer notched a top 5 at Bristol meaning anyone outside the top 16 needs to get a win, or hope Bowyer screws up big time in the next two races. Check out the rest of the standings below.

2015 NASCAR Week 21 Chase Standings

2015 Chase Standings After 21 Races


By Richard Tix

After NASCAR's second stop at Pocono we had a few shake up in the Sprint Cup Chase standings. Matt Kenseth won his second race of 2015 and moved up the rankings. A few other guys struggled and will now more then ever need a win to lock themselves in. Also, and update on the Kyle Busch Chase race.

Notes: Greg Biffle, Kyle Larson, and Austin Dillon are all but out of the Chase unless the get a win. Aric Almirola currently still has a small shot on points, but he will need a win when all is said and done because its just a matter of time before Kyle Busch gets to the top 30.

Speaking of, when Kyle does get there is puts Kahne in a world of hurt if he doesn't have a win. Bowyer has been climbing up the list a bit and it looks like McMurray should be the safest driver to get in on points.

This week NASCAR heads to Watkins Glen so next weeks rankings could look a whole lot different. WG will give underdogs a shot to make the Chase and push some other guys down this list.
