On The Move: With many series having wrapped up their seasons, there aren’t a lot of opportunities for drivers to make up ground.

What To Watch For?: All three NASCAR national series will race at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, providing the opportunity to turn the points races upside down.

Dropped Out: High Limit Racing champion Rico Abreu and World of Outlaws late model ace Nick Hoffman dropped from the rankings.
