Markell Murphy stands strong! Seven top-20 finishes in his last eight races, capped by a victory in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona. The #47 Team Danger Zone Red Bull Mustang jumped from 19th to 11th in the standings, only 49 points behind Matt Raboin to capture his first career Chase birth! He will start 15th at The Lime.

Bink Lucas looks good! A horrible turn-10 tumbleweed into the sand pit dashed his hopes of a decent finish at Watkins Glen, ready to bounce back. The #5 Lifesavers Racing Mustang hoped to bring that same car here, having to travel back to their race shop and modify one of their short-track snouts as a back-up. He will start seventh.

Zakk Miller failed to break Roscoe Riker's record of seven poles in eleven events back in 1984! Miller will start 21st at The Lime, rendering his usual strategy of staying up front to avoid trouble mute. Can he navigate the traffic? The #30 Team Danger Zone Bepis Mustang comes in only 55 points behind 10th place Matt Raboin.

A miraculous comeback by John Tharp! 28th in points after Richmond, starting a string of seven top-20 finishes and three top-6's since the Brickyard 400. He comes into Lime Rock 14th in the standings, only 80 points behind Matt Raboin for 10th. The #14 Zig-Zag PHR Toyota will start outside-pole.
