The weather is kinda shaky. Friday is good, but Saturday has a 60% chance of storms and Sunday is 50%. The dart tossers are waffling around on the forecast because it started with much higher rain chances. Keep your underbellas handy just in case.
I'll hazard a guess that with two races to go to be eligible for the Chase, Kenseth is probably in, even if we have two first time season winners. Newman could be iffy with only 16 points between him and the bubble spot, Biffle. If Newman, Bowyer or Biffle don't win, they maximum points to remain contenders, And if anyone under them wins at Atlanta or Richmond. Current points/seeds for the Chase;
