Kyle works to keep up momentum to join brother, more in Chase
RELATED: Chase Grid
Only six races remain before the 16-driver Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup field is set.
Here's what we know:
Kyle Busch's third consecutive win continues his incredible comeback and brings him even closer to the Chase. He heads into Sunday's Windows 10 400 at Pocono Raceway only 23 points behind Justin Allgaier for 30th in the standings -- the position that would make him eligible for the Chase.
In order to do this before the Chase starts, Busch will need to average 19.8 points in the final six races of the regular season. This means "Rowdy" must finish 24th or better each race.
Kyle's older brother, Kurt, left Indianapolis in good standings after locking up a top 30 spot. Kurt Busch joins Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson as they have all guaranteed their spots in the Chase.
Drivers with a win who are still looking to lock up a top 30 spot are Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr., Brad Keselowski, Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards. A win at Pocono would secure any of these drivers a spot in the Chase, although Edwards may need some help.
