Kasey Kahne’s second victory of the season on Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway broke up a four-driver deadlock for the two coveted “wild card” qualifying entries into the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup™.
Kahne isn’t sure that will be enough to lock up a berth in the post season with seven races remaining until the Chase field is set Sept. 8 at Richmond International Raceway. “Two helps, but three would put you in a real good spot.
We’re going to stay after it,” Kahne said in his post-race media interview.
Kyle Busch currently holds the second “wild card” with a single victory and a rank of 13th in the standings. Ryan Newman, however, is nine points back in 14th with Joey Logano – the third single race winner 11th through 20th in points – is 16th.
