The final race in the Contender Round is taking place this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway and when it’s over there will be eight drivers remaining in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Ford’s Brad Keselowski needed a win at this point last year in order to advance to the Eliminator Round and he got it in dramatic fashion. That win was the 21st for Ford at the 2.66-mile track, including once each of the last three seasons.

Phoenix International Raceway President Bryan R. Sperber announced today that the track’s grandstands are sold out for the Quicken Loans Race for Heroes 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday, Nov. 15. The sellout occurred nearly a month ahead of race day, and it is the fifth-consecutive sellout for the fall race at PIR, making it arguably the toughest ticket in all of NASCAR.

With finishes of 28th and 21st in the last two races, Dale Earnhardt Jr. currently sits 11th in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Standings, 31 points out of the top eight to advance to the third round.

At this stage of the game, only a dozen drivers really matter in Cup racing. Twelve still have a shot at the championship, 18 more either have the results or the resources to at least theoretically be of interest, while 13 others are just there and rarely, if ever, matter.

In racing there is one objective – to win. Does that mean that winning by any means is justified? I suppose that depends on your point of view.
