This is the final week before we start the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship. With only a couple of spots open for the chase who do you think will take up the last spots? Will someone new win at Richmond and throw a monkey wrench into the chase? Lots of questions going into the race at Richmond.
There are a lot of questions that will be answered once the checkered flag waves. It should make for some exciting racing.
Here are the drivers who MUST win at Richmond to earn a Chase spot: Paul Menard, Austin Dillon, Jamie McMurray, Brian Vickers, Marcos Ambrose, Casey Mears, Martin Truex Jr., Tony Stewart, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Danica Patrick, Justin Allgaier, Michael Annett, David Gilliland, David Ragan and Cole Whitt. All except Ragan and Whitt would automatically be in with a win. Ragan and Whitt would both need some help locking up a top 30 spot in the standings, which is also a factor in making the Chase.
The race from Richmond International Raceway can be seen on Saturday, Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m. (ET) and can bee watched on TV: ABC, 7 p.m. (ET) and heard on the Radio: MRN, Sirius XM Ch. 90
Distance: 300 miles (400 laps)
I asked on Twitter who do you think will be in and here are some responses.
No one new. 16/15/31 "@awesomeracefans: Who are you expecting to get the last spots into the chase? Your answer may appear on our website!"
