NASCAR Chase set for tight finish with four races remaining

The NASCAR Cup Series has four races left to determine the final 16 drivers for the upcoming Chase, marking a change from the previous win-and-you're-in format. Carson Hocevar leads surprises as he ranks fifth after his first career win, while three of Hendrick Motorsports’ drivers are also positioned well. Conversely, Ross Chastain and Erik Jones find themselves outside the cutoff line, facing the challenge of strong performances in the remaining events. The next races at Iowa, Richmond, New Hampshire, and Daytona will be critical as drivers aim to secure their postseason spots.
