Clinching for Talladega

Note: With only one race remaining in this round, repeat winner would expand to mean any driver that has already been eliminated or any driver that is currently in a transfer spot (a spot where if the round was over today, would have moved on).

Christopher Bell (0 Wins, 2062 Points) – Would clinch on points with 23 Points (tenth and no laps led, 11th and led at least one lap, 12th and led most laps) and a new winner.

William Byron stole a page from his mentor and team owner, Kyle Busch.

Leading 161 of 175 laps in Saturday’s UNOH 175 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway – the first race in the inaugural NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase – Byron cruised to victory, the way Busch has done so many times before, and punched his ticket into the Chase’s Round of 6.
