Eight drivers remain able to earn entry into the season finale at Homestead after a non-Chase driver won for the second race in a row.
Four drivers will qualify for a shot at the championship in the season ending race. At-least three drivers based on points will make it. Another driver could earn their way via a win at Phoenix next week but if a non-Chase driver wins then a third driver would make it on based on points.
