As the Chase progresses, so does the race for 11th-place, a spot worth over $1 million as a bonus from the season-ending point fund. The goal remains the same – winning races – and so does the incentive – to excel and improve one’s position in the standings.

• 11th place – Jamie McMurray (No. 42 Texaco/Havoline Dodge), currently controls that position. He retained the spot for a second consecutive week following a sixth-place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
