Ten Chase competitors will make the on-stage cut for next month’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion’s Awards Banquet in Las Vegas. A third-place finish on Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway enabled Joey Logano to reach the current top 10, bypassing 2004 series champion Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards. Logano, competing in his first Chase, is five points ahead of Busch. Edwards, 20 markers behind Busch in 11th; Ryan Newman (-22) and Kasey Kahne (-37) have work to do in the final two events.
