KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- That horrific barrel roll at Dover, the one that looked more like a scene from "Talladega Nights" than a real NASCAR wreck?

Turns out it gave Joey Logano confidence, not fear.

Passing points leader Kyle Busch with three laps left, Logano won at Kansas Speedway on Saturday, pulling out his fifth Nationwide victory less than a week after that spectacular crash during a Sprint Cup race.

For the sixth time, the Chase for the Sprint Cup is set. Here's a look at some of the stories:

Kyle Busch did not make the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Think about the enormity of that.

Should we be making anything about Tony Stewart's complete lack of momentum as the Sprint Cup heads to the Chase?

Tony's No. 14 has been the consistent class of the field all year -- and to some, the surprise of it too -- but the last four races have been a lesson on frustration with finishes of 18th, 30th, 12th and 17th.

HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. won a late gamble on gas, but that wasn't enough to overcome Kevin Harvick's dominance.

Harvick led most of the race and then passed Earnhardt with two laps left to regain the lead and win the Degree V12 300 Nationwide Series race on Saturday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Harvick and Kyle Busch each went into the pits for gas and four tires with 14 laps remaining. Earnhardt and Brad Keselowski stayed on the track, gambling they had enough gas to finish the race.

It is a very real possibility that four-time winners Kyle Busch and Mark Martin might not qualify for NASCAR's Chase for the Championship despite leading the Sprint Cup Series in victories.

Martin is ranked 10th with a tenuous 60-point cushion on Busch in 13th place. Busch is 34 points out of the 12-driver cutoff with two races remaining.

It would be ironic to stage a playoff without the winningest drivers of the regular season. But it would not tarnish the championship one bit.

BROOKLYN, MICH. (AP) -- Closing in on the checkered flag with mostly fumes in his gas tank, there were only two possibilities for Brian Vickers.

Run out of gas and probably blow any chance at making NASCAR's championship chase -- or make a bold move toward title contention by winning the race.

After a surprising gamble on gas by his crew chief, Vickers drove conservatively to conserve fuel. Then he pounced when race leader Jimmie Johnson's tank ran dry, taking the lead with two laps to go and holding on to win Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway.

A 58-point deficit likely won't keep Kyle Busch out of the Chase for the Championship.

He's had a spat of rough luck and poor effort -- only two top-10 finishes in last 10 races -- and some of that has been admittedly self-induced. Frustrating? Yes. Disappointing? Absolutely. Deal-breaker? No way.

The statistics favor Busch making a run for the playoffs. He has wins at three (Bristol, Atlanta, Richmond) of the remaining four tracks that will set the 12-driver Chase field and never finished worse than 13th at the other (Michigan) including a runner-up effort last season. He's won at Bristol and Richmond already this year.

INDIANAPOLIS -- With ESPN taking over the NASCAR Sprint Cup broadcast schedule beginning this week with the AllState 400 at the Brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the network's veteran analysts, Dr. Jerry Punch, Andy Petree and Dale Jarrett shared some of their thoughts on the season to date.

In addition to the obvious marquee story lines -- 50-year old Mark Martin winning and Tony Stewart's team a championship contender out of the box -- the ESPN crew was candid about the surprises on the other end of the spectrum, specifically whether three-time race winner Kyle Busch, 24, will even make The Chase.

"Nobody ever would have thought that that he would go in there and not make it,'' said Petree, the late Dale Earnhardt's championship crew chief. "He's struggled when he did get in the Chase the past couple of years, and that's not a surprise. But the fact is he's actually got a chance of not making it, and I think there's trouble brewing over there."

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The celebratory Fourth of July pyrotechnics going off along the backstretch following Saturday night's NASCAR race at Daytona International Speedway were nothing compared to the last-lap fireworks show minutes earlier on the frontstretch.

Two-time NASCAR champ Tony Stewart muscled his way by Kyle Busch about 100 yards before the finish line -- holding his line as Busch tried to block him. Ultimately, Stewart was able to get his nose in position for the pass. When Busch tried to stop Stewart's final push, the two cars collided and Busch's car spun out, hitting the wall and paving the way for Stewart to capture the victory.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Tony Stewart usually takes every win any way he can. After wrecking Kyle Busch on the last lap at Daytona International Speedway, he didn't much feel like celebrating. sent Busch hard into the wall right before the finish line.

Busch passed Stewart right before the final lap to take the lead Saturday night, but Stewart chased him down and calculated his next move. He closed in on Busch's bumper, and slight contact sent Busch drifting up the track.

DOVER, Del. (AP) -- Kyle Busch couldn't resist taking a poke at the driver who replaced him at Hendrick Motorsports.

Busch's career has skyrocketed since signing with Joe Gibbs Racing, while Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s sagging career has hit an all-time low. On Wednesday night, team owner Rick Hendrick had enough, firing Earnhardt's longtime crew chief Tony Eury Jr. in an attempt to salvage the season.
