There are two races remaining in the regular season for the NASCAR Cup Series, which means Chase Elliott has just two more chances to possibly clinch a Playoffs berth this season. The most likely spot that he could win at before the Playoffs start is at Watkins Glen this weekend, a track where Chase has won in two of his six attempts and where he owns a series-best 5.7 average finish. When asked about the Playoffs situation earlier this week, NASCAR's most popular driver stated, "Certainly don't want to have yourself in a position to have to win at Daytona, but that's a possibility at this point. I feel way better about going to Watkins Glen than I do Daytona because there is more in my control going there versus a plate race." Chase is one of the best road course racers in the series and should be a contender in Sunday's Go Bowling at The Glen. The No. 9 Chevrolet was 7th-fastest in practice on Saturday, although Chase ended up with a somewhat disappointing 15th-fastest lap in qualifying. He'll have to make some moves to get through traffic on Sunday, but Elliott should be his typical top 5 threat this weekend.--Jordan McAbee
