Seventeen races have been run and nine 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.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s victory made him the fourth multi-race winner this season. His win also leaves 11 different winners - including Kyle Busch who is not in the top 30 and not eligible for a Chase spot at this moment.

With 10 race winners Chase eligible, it leaves six winless drivers in a Chase spot. Clint Bowyer moved past Aric Almirola into the final transfer spot after Bowyer placed 10th at Daytona International Speedway.

Here’s who is Chase eligible at this point in the season:
