Restart
And here they all are, coming to the restart line for what should have been the last two laps under green. Kenseth's in first on the right, fighting for the win that will give him that spot in the Chase. Bowman's up front on the left in second position. He's ineligible for the Chase, but if he gets this win, he'll transform his career.
Joey Logano (who I don't much like) is behind Kenseth, and is fighting for one of the Chase spots himself. Last year's champion Kyle Busch--another Chase contender--is behind Bowman.
This restart is the key for either Kenseth or Bowman. They each have to get a clean start, and Bowman has to make sure he doesn't jump ahead of Kenseth early. Whoever gets in front needs to clear the other quickly, and then be ready to block either Busch or Logano, who will likely try insane things. At this point, the race could go to any of those four. But right at this moment, I'm rooting for the kid.
