The last few weeks have been really good for the Busch brothers. Kyle won at Dover as well as the last two Nationwide races, while Kurt won this week and at the All-Star Race. They also happen to be the two biggest gainers this, Kurt increased his chances of making the Chase from 72% to 82% while Kyle went from 84% to 93%.

The biggest loser is once again Vickers (25% to 13%), who will likely remain out until much later in the season. He has dropped out of the top 20 drivers, making this the first change since Martinsville. McMurray, who came in 2nd, managed to get back in the top 20 after a long absence. The biggest loser who was actually in the race was Montoya whose car was damaged after getting a flat early in the race. Apparently the Charlotte track doesn't like foreigners, as soon after Ambrose also wrecked.

Currently, only 26 drivers have a chance of making the Chase, with Menard having a 0.5% chance.
