NASCAR Sprint Cup Standings 2015: Update after Michigan

Matt Kenseth picked up his third win of the season at Michigan on Sunday. Where does Kenseth and the rest of NASCAR stand in the Sprint Cup Standings?

Matt Kenseth picked up his third win of the season on Sunday, and suddenly things are heating up as “The Chase” draws near. While Kenseth and the rest of the top drivers have their spots in “The Chase” locked up, there are still a small list of things to keep an eye on in the final three races.

The first being Kyle Busch maintaining his spot in the top-30 in points. Sunday, Busch started outside the top-30 when the race began, but quickly worked his way back up into the top-30 and even gained a spot to move up to 29th in points, which should give him more breathing room in the final few weeks.

All he has to do is not wreck and continue to race well and he will keep his spot and not have to worry about the points anymore. For Clint Bowyer, Aric Almirola and Kasey Kahne, there is essentially one spot left and the three are all within range of one another after Bowyer wrecked on Sunday.

Both are within 26 points of Bowyer heading into the final three races before “The Chase” begins.

With Kenseth winning the Pure Michigan 400, here are the updated Sprint Cup Standings.
