Kyle Busch sits atop the pole position as the Bank of America 500 is set to narrow the competition even further for the Sprint Cup.

The Chase for the Sprint Cup is well udnerway as the field is set to get even smaller after today’s race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. As it stands now, Joey Logano has the lead in the tandsings, but as many as four drivers are within ten points of him, with today being huge for the likes of Kyle Busch, Ryan Newman, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin and more.

Busch actually has the lead pole position, earning it this weekend in qualifying. He’ll need more than that to get the lead though, as the field is getting smaller, tighter and as competitive as it’s been all season long.
