We’ve got some movement in the NASCAR standings after today thanks to the Iowa Corn 350 delivering some chaos for three of the top-10 points leaders. Furthermore, Sunday’s race at Iowa Speedway delivered quite a bit of movement around The Chase cutline.
As the race draws to a close, it’s worth noting that there are only three regular-season races remaining. We’re realistically looking at just four to five spots in the 10-race chase really being up for grabs, so this final stretch will be putting a lot of teams and drivers under extreme pressure.
