Loser: Tony Stewart

Tony Stewart only has eight races left in his Cup Series career, but he might have just one left as an official member of the 2016 Chase.

Last weekend at Chicagoland, Stewart finished 16th and put himself in an early hole in the standings. This weekend at New Hampshire, he finished 23rd and put himself in an even tougher position heading into Dover.

It was a rough race for the driver of the No. 14 car. You could tell he was struggling with his car and he repeatedly showed his frustration through his comments over the radio. His afternoon ended with him serving as the first driver a lap down.

Next weekend, Stewart will be looking to erase an 11-point deficit in an attempt to make something out of his final Chase. Luckily for him, the race will be at Dover, a track that he has three wins at. Stewart finished 34th at Dover earlier in the season after an issue with his car.
