Twelve races are down and 14 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 win while also ranking in the top 30 in points and having attempted to qualify for every race (unless granted a NASCAR waiver) will make the Chase. If the points leader does not have a win, they’ll make the Chase. If there are more than 16 different winners, ties will be broken by number of wins and then points.

Carl Edwards’ victory in Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 was his first of the season and put him in a Chase spot, knocking out Clint Bowyer. Edwards marked the ninth different winner this season, leaving seven Chase spots open based on points.
