Elliott Sadler almost saw his Chase Hopes Loosened following Saturday Nights race in Phoenix but with only one or two lug nuts loose, Sadler will only lose his crew chief for the weekend which is probably the better of the two possible issues. Sadler has won three races this season. Sadler won the controversial Sparks Energy 300 at Talladega, along with the VFW Sport Clips Help A Hero 200 at Darlington, and the VisitMyrtleBeach.com 300 at Kentucky. Sadler has had a very good season and seemed to get better as Chase time came. Sadler almost lost his sponsor OneMain Financial but they re-signed with JR Motorsports with a Multi-year deal. A championship could make things so much sweeter for OneMain's decision to remain in the series.

Suarez is chasing history in the NASCAR Xfinity Series on Saturday and if he can win the Championship he will break the glass ceiling for Hispanic America in NASCAR and it would make Suarez the first Hispanic American to win a NASCAR Top Division Series Champion. Suarez won two races this season and two races in his career. Suarez gained his first career victory at Michigan and his second win came at Dover in the first round of the Chase. Suarez has shown he can do it and I think he has surely shown that he's a championship contender and will definitely show it on Saturday.

Justin Allgaier has been kind of the dark horse of the NASCAR Xfinity Series Chase this season especially in his return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Justin's best finish in Xfinity Series points came way back in 2011 where he finished third in the season where Ricky Stenhouse Jr. gained his first career championship in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Justin Allgaier's return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series could gain JR Motorsports it's first Championship since Chase Elliott did it in 2014. Allgaier will also be chasing his first victory in the Xfinity Series of the season. Allgaier last won at Montreal way back in 2012 driving for the late Turner Scott Motorsports.

Some may say that since Erik Jones announced he would be moving up to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, he hasn't been the same and I wouldn't agree nor disagree with you because I don't think that answer can be said until the checkered flag falls on Saturday and if Erik Jones is hoisting the NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship above his head following the Ford 300. Jones won his first race of the season by beating Kyle Busch at Bristol back in April but after it seemed like Jones was in a slump and there were a few moments he almost didn't advance especially to the Championship race this weekend at Homestead. Do I think Jones will win the championship on Saturday? Well you'll just have to wait until Wednesday for that information. It remains classified but Are you feeling Lucky?
