Summary
NASCAR’s Chase field is set, but some shockers are left out — including two-time winner Shane van Gisbergen, former champ Brad Keselowski, and 2020 runner-up Ross Chastain. Van Gisbergen missed by just 17 points, struggling with consistency on big ovals despite road course mastery. Keselowski’s season derailed by a mid-season slump, while Chastain’s raw speed never quite clicked, ending his Chase hopes after an engine failure. Bubba Wallace and Austin Cindric cruised in, and Ryan Preece stunned everyone with his first career win to snag the final spot. Michael McDowell’s road course prowess couldn’t overcome oval struggles, and Erik Jones’ Iowa collapse sealed his fate. The takeaway? In NASCAR, consistency trumps talent — one bad race can cost you everything. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
