When you take a look at the chase standings for NASCAR's postseason, it's easy to pick out the favorites Denny Hamlin, Ty Gibbs, Ryan Blaney, Tyler Reddick. They've been the class of the field all year. But who are some of the drivers that may be able to sneak in in a 10-race run? Carson Hosevar has had an unbelievable season for him in Spire Motorsport so far this year. He finds himself eighth in the point standings. So what does Carson do to prepare himself for the postseason?

It's more so just getting the details ironed out throughout the race and you know making sure our car speed's accurate and everything. If anything, I've actually kind of stepped back more and just kind of just showed up and drove just to more so not burn myself out before the chase, but also too just to just be super loose and comfortable and um just kind of enjoy this and you know just see how fast we can make our cars and let them, you know, be confident in them and just just focus on just trying to go as fast as I can and worry less about the data and trying to be someone I'm not and get uncomfortable.
SPEAKER_01
Chase Briscoe is fifth in the points. Is that high enough to make a title run?
SPEAKER_03
I mean, if you have a 2011 Tony Stewart run where you win five out of ten races, like you're gonna be right there in the mix for it, especially with just how weighted wins are now with those extra bonus points. Um you can make up a lot of points quick. I mean, us at Chicago is a great example. We were, I think, 109 points back a fifth going into Chicago, and we left Chicago 40 points out of fifth. Like, you can just gain so many points if you can win a race. So, yeah, I think it once the chase starts, if you can win three or four races, like you can close up really, really quickly.
