NASCAR In-Season Challenge lost in shuffle at Atlanta? Results, bracket update

[ASFN Admin]

There's a lot to talk about after last weekend's NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta.

The three-hour rain delay and 2 a.m. checkered flag. The three-man overtime battle for the lead, which resulted in Ryan Blaney's win by 0.068 seconds. Bubba Wallace's controversial penalty.

But how about the In-Season Challenge?

It acted as a secondary storyline Sunday, but the bracket has slimmed down to just four contestants following the third of five rounds. A champion will be crowned over the next two weeks at North Wilkesboro and Indianapolis.

Three of the remaining drivers come as no surprise at all: Blaney, Chase Elliott and Christopher Bell. Todd Gilliland is a little more shocking after entering as the 25th seed.
