Picking Joey Logano. It would be awesome if RC wins but somehow I think someone will not make that possible.

Elliott spun on a restart by Chastain, and into the wall . Not sure if Chastain was at fault, he just held the line. Probably all she wrote for Elliott on the Championship.

[dara]

Lap 268 caution. McDowell ran into Bowman. Might tighten the race.

[dara]

Out of that set of pitstops, Bell had a problem, and lost ground to Logano.

Championship is now between Logano(3) and Chastain (7). Bell is 15

[dara]

Logano leading the race with 24 to go, Chastain back -2.5sec with Blaney and Briscoe between.

[dara]

15 to go, Logano up same with Chastain, Blaney at -.3sec

[dara]

10 to go, now -2.0 sec

[dara]

5 to go -1.6

[dara]

Logano wins! Blaney and Chastain follow.

[dara]

Finally I get a pick right this season, and for the championship too.
