A win will get move you on to the round of 12, but I don't see the bubble guys pulling that off. Flipping a coin between Martin Truex, Jr and Kyle Busch, I'll go with Martin. No non-playoff driver has ever won since the new format, but I'll take Dale Jr. as a darkhorse winner.

Congrats to Kyle Busch, followed by Chase Elliott and Jimmie Johnson. Keslowski and Larson get stages.

Out are Kurt Busch, Kasey Kahne, Austin Dillon, and Ryan Newman. Ricky Stenhouse is in the round of 12 by the skin of his teeth.
