Chase roulette edges toward NASCAR Chase reveal
NASCAR's Chase narrowed to about ten drivers after another race weekend. Kasey Kahne leads victories but sits 10th in points, trailing Jeff Burton by 30 with Richmond looming. Kahne praises recent runs and early season wins as he fights to secure a berth for the final round.

The NASCAR Chase field remains unsettled as Jeff Burton and Mark Martin fight to stay within 400 points of the leader. Burton, once third, slipped to tenth after California and Michigan troubles, while Martin has hovered in the top 10 with no wins this season and vows to push hard at Richmond.
