We’re on the verge of eliminating half the Fantasy Chase field, and 21 spots have already been secured.

Many people are riding with Dale Jr. for Talladega. So that means if he wins, there will likely be NO spots available on points in the top 50 (that’s the number of people who advance, plus ties). But if he doesn’t win, it could be a mad scramble on points.

Here’s the current playoff picture (plus your Talladega picks), plus the “points as they run” cutoff line:

Some of you are in desperate need of a win this week after you picked either Matt Kenseth (three points) or Jimmie Johnson (no points) at Charlotte.

But fear not: If your driver wins Kansas this week, you’re through to the next round no matter what.

Kevin Harvick is the most popular pick at Kansas. Here’s the full list:

It was an interesting first week in Round 2 of the Fantasy Chase, because a bunch of different things happened — just like in the actual Chase.

First of all, congrats to four people — bharden94, hellrod4, Peidelaney and The_GreenFlag — who picked Joey Logano and locked themselves into the next round.

The news wasn’t so good for the 17 people who picked Jimmie Johnson at Charlotte. Since Johnson is no longer in the actual Chase, they got zero points this week for their pick. Ouch!

But they’re only three points behind the people who picked Matt Kenseth (another ouch) and within range of those who had Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kyle Busch.

So that means this round remains fairly wide open in the points with two races to go.

Here are the standings after Charlotte:

Holy cow! Jimmie Johnson screwed up a TON of your Fantasy Chase hopes. I mean really, really screwed them up. You see, the vast majority of you picked Johnson for Dover and he only scored three points — which eliminated both the 48 team and most everyone who picked him.

But congratulations to the 102 of you who moved on (it was the top 100 plus ties). Now the points will be reset for Round 2, where your picks only count if you picked a driver who is still in the real Chase (in other words, not Jimmie Johnson).

Here’s a look at all the point totals for Round 1 — both for those who made it and those whose Fantasy Chase sadly ended after three weeks.

First, a note of apology. Somehow my spreadsheet got messed up and your picks for New Hampshire weren’t your picks for New Hampshire at all. THANK YOU to Bob Dare for bringing this to my attention, because the results were much different than they would have been had he not pointed it out.

Not that you want to know the whole explanation, but I’m using a Google spreadsheet for your picks based on the form you sent in. Somehow, your picks for PHOENIX went in the New Hampshire slot. So that’s why everyone picked Harvick for New Hampshire (or so I thought)…but that was completely wrong.

So before we get to the results, here were your ACTUAL New Hampshire picks for this week:

OK, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way…let’s look at the points. Nine people correctly picked Matt Kenseth at New Hampshire, which earns them a free pass to the next round (I gave them 1,000 points to signify this).

Here are the standings after New Hampshire, plus your Dover picks (most people went with Jimmie Johnson, obviously).

Note: The current cutoff for the next round is 52 points. If you have 52 points or more, you’re currently in. If not, you’re currently out.

Picking Kevin Harvick in the Fantasy Chase opener seemed like a pretty smart move. If I was playing, I would have done it. Why not? Even if he didn’t win, Harvick usually figured out how to get a top-10.

Well, it didn’t turn out very well for those of you who picked him. And now you’re in trouble.

Check out the Week 1 Fantasy Chase standings below. Remember, only the top 100 players (plus ties) will advance to Round 2.

After Chicagoland, the cutoff is 37 points (no one picked Denny Hamlin, so no one automatically advances this week). So if you picked Harvick on his bad day, you’ll have to win at either New Hampshire or Dover — or you’re out.
