Jimmie Johnson |
3 | 1 | 1/20 |
A fourth-place finish was Johnson’s worst so far in the Chase, but he’s still in very good shape, Chase-wise, as he trails Keselowski by five points.

Denny Hamlin |
5 | 1 | 1/12 |
On the one hand, Hamlin got a top 10 at what he says is his worst track. On the other hand, he lost critical ground in the points. Will a lack of fuel mileage haunt him again?

Another top 10 for Bowyer, but his performance was only good, not great. Thought he might have finished better.
