Roush Fenway drivers Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle finished in the top 20 in the Amp Energy Juice 500 at Talladega Superspeedway Saturday.
Clint Bowyer narrowly edged out teammate Kevin Harvick for the victory, winning so narrowly that NASCAR needed to use video review to determine who finished first. Harvick was third in the Sprint Cup standings headed into the race, and his second-place finish makes the standings even tighter.
Chase leader Jimmie Johnson finished seventh Sunday, while Denny Hamlin, who entered the race in second place in the standings, finished ninth. Pole-sitter Juan Pablo Montoya finished third.
If the unofficial results hold up, Hamlin will trail Johnson by just 14 points in the standings, while Harvick will be behind by only 38 points.
Kenseth had the best finish of the three Roush Fenway drivers who qualified for the Sprint Cup postseason, coming in 16th and leading 13 laps for a total of 120 points earned. Edwards finished right behind Kenseth at 17th, and Biffle finished 19th. Neither Edwards nor Biffle led any laps.
Edwards was sixth in the Sprint Cup standings headed into the race, while Kenseth was 10th and Biffle 11th.
With just three races remaining in the Sprint Cup Series, the drivers will next face off Nov. 7 at Texas Motor Speedway.
