IROC Series
In the IROC Series Christian Moody and Richie Stone have clinched a spot in the final 4. The rest of their competition is yet to clinch their spots in the final chase field. Matt Holzbaur and Mike Tapler currently hold the last 2 spots for the championship. Trevor Ward is not expected to race the next race but is out 3 points of a final spot. In this series it will be hard to choose a driver to win it all since 3 of the top 4 have all won a race this year.

Alex Cunningham has clinched a chase spot after the last race. 2015 Champion Jordan Rummage has struggled after winning 3 races in a row earlier this season but seems to be in good shape to make the final chase. Ryan Richmond has been on fire after winning a race and finishing 4th at the Iredell Fair race. Driver Tim Norman suffered broken ribs and a sprained arm at the Iredell Fair. Norman would have to physically start the event and then exit the kart under caution and put in a replacement driver to continue to get points. This does open the door for Zach Marquardt to get in the chase, He needs to gain 2 points on Tim Norman to race his way in. Luis Delgado has "retired" from the Busch Series. Steve Nivison needs to win and have 20+ karts to show up to get into the final and also needs help from Marquardt.
