Our experts weigh in on four of the biggest questions in NASCAR:Turn 1: Looks like Tony Stewart probably won his way into the Chase. At whose expense?Ricky Craven, ESPN NASCAR analyst: The expectations were very high for AJ Allmendinger entering last weeks race, but the team fell short. Conversely, the 14 team did not. It appears AJ has one more solid opportunity (Watkins Glen). In addition, Tonys win took a spot from a driver who could have averaged his way in. Again, AJ is in the mix for that qualification as well. The 14 team wasnt expected to be a playoff team, and those closest to earning a points entry to the big dance find themselves knocked back on their heels a bit. Its a very difficult position to be in at this stage of the regular season.Ryan McGee, ESPN.com: The Dinger. He probably cut Dingers chances in half.John Oreovicz, ESPN.com: Even though hes 17th in the points right now, Im going to say Ryan Blaney, because Ive been on his bandwagon all year long and I still think hes Chase material despite slumping out of the top 16. Daytona is a good track for the Wood Brothers team and it would be great to see Blaney rally his way back into the playoffs.Bob Pockrass, ESPN.com: Right now, its Kasey Kahne. It probably will be him, Blaney or Jamie McMurray as they battle for one of those final spots available on points.Turn 2: How far do you see Tony Stewart advancing in the Chase, should he make it?Craven: The second or third round. However, Ryan Newman came within one position in the final race of winning the title in 2014, and nothing during the regular season suggested that was going to happen, so if the Sonoma win inspires a driver and his team into believing, and they continue to improve -- then a championship could be possible.McGee: Not far. The reality is that the team still had a long ways to go to be a title contender. His career has been built on streaks, but I think we need to see that he has the ability to run well over an extended period of time before we can believe such a streak is possible. Since its summer and the Smoke heats up rule is in effect, we should know pretty quickly. The one big thing he has going for him? Mr. Hamlin was 100 percent correct, Smokes give-a-rip factor is super low.Oreovicz: I cant see Stewart turning back the clock to 2011 and advancing to the final four, but I can envision him making it to the round of eight purely on hunger, desire and race-craft, even if the speed of his youth isnt always there. Hes a proud man, and no matter how badly he wants the end of his NASCAR career to come quickly and without fanfare, hes not going to just cruise through those last 10 races.Pockrass: He could finish well enough, if he doesnt have any problems, to advance to the second round, which ends with Talladega, so theres always that chance of making it to the third round. But he would need to have great runs at Charlotte and Kansas to avoid having all the pressure on at Talladega.Turn 3: Brian France blew off any talk of moving races to weekday nights or changing the schedule. Should he reconsider?Craven: I have to believe that networks are behind this decision. They have invested enough money to alter the way our sport is presented and they surely have the horsepower to determine the date and time.McGee: Yes. But they wont. The way the track contracts are done make big changes even less likely. The season is too long. They should do all they can to dominate this time of the year, when there is almost zero competition for the attention of American sports fans and when prime-time TV is dying for awesome live content. Not in the fall when every other sport in the world is playing and TV is wall-to-wall with new shows.Oreovicz: Yes. With attendance and television ratings falling at many races, and some general unrest about the same unrelenting schedule, it wouldnt hurt NASCAR to shake things up on an experimental basis and see what works. The truck series race at Eldora is a great example of out-of-the-box thinking that turned into a hit for competitors and fans.Pockrass: He should consider a weeknight race. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. But to have a weeknight race, in addition to finding a television network that wants to carry it, NASCAR needs to work with a track and lower the sanction fee or put conditions on the sanction fee depending on how much it impacts the crowd. If a track is willing to take the risk, NASCAR should as well.Turn 4: Who wins first: Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kasey Kahne or Chase Elliott?Craven: Elliott. I wouldnt have believed that in February, but Chase is ahead of where I expected him to be this early in his career, and it feels as though a win is around the corner. Dale Earnhardt Jr. may not win before the Chase begins, but he will make noise in the playoffs. The 88 team has chemistry, Junior (in the 7th or 8th inning of his career) understands the value of save your best for when it matters most.McGee: Dale Jr., and he does it this weekend.Oreovicz: Dale Jr. We are at Daytona, after all.Pockrass: Dale Jr. It will come either Saturday night at Daytona or in August at Bristol or Michigan. Paul Millsap Nuggets Jersey . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record. Dikembe Mutombo Jersey . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium. http://www.nuggetsprostore.com/kids-gary-harris-nuggets-jersey/ . Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards. Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. Tyler Lydon Nuggets Jersey . It was the second consecutive win for the Pacers (2-5), who lost their first five preseason games. Jeff Teague led the Hawks (1-5) with 17 points and eight assists and Al Horford had 12 points and seven rebounds. Mike Scott scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half. Thomas Welsh Nuggets Jersey . Inter president Erick Thohir says in a club statement on Wednesday that Vidic is "one of the worlds best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree, and charisma will be an asset. The initial reaction almost all of Ryan Mathews fantasy owners will have to his 27-point outburst against Atlanta is to immediately put him on the trading block and hope he will end up being a sell-high candidate.This is understandable considering that Mathews had a combined total of 25 fantasy points in his previous four games and was at one juncture relegated to second-string duty behind Darren Sproles.dddddddddddd ' ' '
