This week’s race was a crucial one for a number of teams who ran into problems last week at Talladega. One of those contenders – the No. 99 of Carl Edwards – saw similar luck this weekend, when electrical issues forced him to lose a number of laps en route to a 33rd-place finish. But …

The Chase is almost to the halfway point, and the haves and have nots among the Chase contenders are pretty well defined now.

Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon, Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt …
