With the new Chase format that puts a greater emphasis winning, handicappers will have more options to analyze. With four races left, drivers outside the top 16 now need to focus on winning.

Kasey Kane is on top of the list of must win drivers. Kane is currently having another subpar season, while watching his fellow Hendrick drivers make their way to victory lane eight times. With Chase Elliott running a limited Sprint Cup schedule in 2015, Kane needs to get back to the same level with his teammates.

Greg Biffle is also having a subpar season with Michigan being his best shot at the winners circle, he won there last year. Roush’s racing program has been moving in the wrong direction, their top driver, Carl Edwards with two wins is jumping ship. Biffle’s longtime sponsor, 3M announced yesterday it’s leaving for Hendrick in 2015.

Kyle Larson who finished an amazing fourth Sunday at Watkins Glen, is currently barely hanging on at 15th, this extraordinary talented kid can win, locking himself into the Chase.
