Chase tracker: Kasey Kahne falls to final transfer spot after Pocono crash

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Windows 10 400 - Practice

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Windows 10 400 - Practice

Tim Bradbury

Twenty-one races have been run and five NASCAR Sprint Cup events remain until the Chase for the Sprint Cup field is set.

Sixteen drivers will advance to the Chase. Any driver with a victory, ranking in the top 30 in points and having started every race (unless granted a NASCAR waiver) will make the Chase. If there are more than 16 different winners, ties will be broken by number of wins and then points.

Kyle Busch remains outside the top 30 in points - although only by 13 points. That leaves 10 winners in a Chase position and the final six spots for non-winners.

Pocono winner Matt Kenseth became the fifth driver to clinch a Chase spot (provided he starts the remaining five races).
