The top title contenders ran 1-2-3 for a bit at Charlotte Motor Speedway, setting it up to separate themselves from the rest of the championship field. Then Brad Keselowski ran out of gas for the second night in a row, and Clint Bowyer was there to capitalize. The Chase for the Sprint Cup championship got a whole lot tighter Saturday night: Bowyer's victory, his first of the Chase and career-best third of the season, pushed him into what could be a four-man title picture. He jumped up to fourth in the standings, 28 points behind leader Keselowski at the halfway point of the 10-race Chase.
