Kansas Speedway almost wreaked some havoc on the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings after a wild race on Sunday, but two drivers were able to emerge as the clear-cut favorites to take home the title. Despite a win by Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth was able to hang on to the No. 1 spot while Jimmie Johnson is just three points behind in second place. Harvick sits comfortably in third.
With just six races remaining, it looks like Kenseth and Johnson are poised for an exciting finish, but Harvick could still sneak his way into the mix if he continues his winning ways.
Here are the updated Sprint Cup standings with just a handful of races to go:
