What the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Chase bubble looks like after Dover

Corey Day's win at Dover Motor Speedway on Sunday padded his cushion to the Chase bubble in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series. Here's what the points standings look like with just 10 races remaining in the regular season. 

1. Justin Allgaier (+340)

2. Sheldon Creed (+165)

3. Jesse Love (+163)

4. Corey Day (+145)

5. Brandon Jones (+135)

6. Sammy Smith (+88)

7. Austin Hill (+85)

8. Carson Kvapil (+81)

9. Sam Mayer (+30)

Mayer's season of misfortune took at least a one-week vacation on Saturday. He finished third at Dover in what was arguably his best drive of the season. 

10. Taylor Gray (+26)

On the other hand, Gray crashed on Saturday while running up front in an incident with Ross Chastain. A 32nd-place finish certainly isn't what the second-year driver needed as he fights near the bubble. 

11. Parker Retzlaff (+24)

In the same vein as Gray, an early crash is the opposite of what Retzlaff needs down the stretch of the regular season. Retzlaff was involved in a Lap 11 wreck that saw him relegated to a last (38th) place finish on Saturday. 

12. William Sawalich (+5)

Sawalich is back on the right side of the bubble for now after a strong fourth-place run at Dover saw him gain 22 points to the cut line. The second-year driver has been inconsistent this year but has speed nearly every week. 

13. Brent Crews (-5)

On the flip side, another young JGR driver in Crews is now on the outside looking in after finishing 22nd on Saturday. Still, he's put together an impressive rookie campaign despite missing four races early in the year. 

14. Rajah Caruth (-6)

Caruth gained 15 points on the cut line on Saturday, but the biggest story surrounding him at Dover was contact with Jesse Love that caused damage to Love's No. 2 Chevrolet. Caruth finished 14th, while Love fell to 23rd. 

15. Ryan Sieg (-22)

Sieg gained seven points on the cut line courtesy of a solid eighth-place run at Dover on Saturday. While top 10s are nice, he'll likely need a few top fives to break the bubble quagmire and leap into the top 12. 

16. Brennan Poole (-61)

Poole was gunning for his second top 10 of the season before Anthony Alfredo scooted past him in the closing laps. An 11th-place finish on Saturday still gained Poole three points towards the cut line going into Charlotte on May 23. 

17. Anthony Alfredo (-102)

18. Dean Thompson (-108)

19. Jeremy Clements (-110)

20. Jeb Burton (-120)
