Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, and Chase Elliott could clinch on points with help, but can only control their own destiny with a win. Both Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick have already locked in to the round of 8 with wins at Charlotte and Kansas. Tune in to the Alabama 500 (2 p.m. ET, NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) to see who advances and who is eliminated.
