Jeff Gordon’s win at Martinsville on Sunday automatically qualifed him for the season-ending race at Homstead-Miami to determine the Sprint Cup champion. Seven other drivers remain eligible for the three remaining spots in the final round of the Chase. Phoenix will be the final race in the Eliminator Round.

The Talladega race to end the Contender Round eliminated Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman, Matt Kenseth and Earnhardt from Chase contention. Before that, Jamie McMurray, Jimmie Johnson, Paul Menard and Clint Bowyer were eliminated from the Chase in the Challenger Round.
