Kahne finished 12 laps down in 42nd place in the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen and dropped to 17th in the series standings, in dire jeopardy of failing to qualify for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. It makes up for last week (at Pocono). His return to the Glen after a two-year...

Baker followed in the footsteps of his father, two-time champion Buck Baker, who was inducted in NASCAR’s Hall of Fame in 2013. Baker declared he could be instantly making the community and had lung cancer September 7.

Gordon is also winless this year, but at 10th in points he’s a safe bet to make the Chase even if doesn’t break through for a victory. So far this season, there have been 11 winners, though one of them, Kyle Busch, remains 13 points outside the cutoff.

Since the incident, Stewart has not competed in a sprint-car race. Drivers with at least one win and in the top 30 in points are virtually assured of a spot in the field of 16. He trails David Gilliland (currently ranked 30th) by 13 points with five regular season races remaining.

The lawsuit, filed on Friday in New York, includes claims that Stewart wrongfully caused Ward’s death by acting with “wanton, reckless and malicious intent and negligence”.
