Who’s Hot/ Who’s Not

HOT

Joey Logano: Two-time round-two winner has forced rest of field into desperate measures at Talladega.

Denny Hamlin: Second in points, is in best shape of any driver not named Joey Logano to advance.

Kyle Busch: Struggling in Chase, but might take solace from 75th career Xfinity victory Saturday at Kansas.

NOT

Matt Kenseth: Bumped out of the race – and possibly from the Chase, too – by Logano.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: 21st-place finish at Kansas means he certainly has to win at Talladega to advance in Chase.

Ryan Newman: Advancing through the Chase by not winning and staying out of trouble might not be enough this season (as it was in 2014).
