Hamlin and Bell left with what could have been in NASCAR Chase

Statistically, Kyle Larson has a 99.4 percent chance of winning the NASCAR Cup Series championship on Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway, leaving Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin at a combined .6 percent. In short, either of them coming back to win the Chase for the Championship would amount to the most improbable comeback in the history of a stock car season finale, so they are not holding their figurative breath. All Larson has to do is finish 28th on Sunday but that assumes he fails to score a single stage point as well.
