Our experts weigh in on four of the biggest questions in NASCAR.Turn 1: Which Chase bubble driver is feeling the most pressure following Pocono?Ricky Craven, ESPN NASCAR analyst: Chase Elliott has had a miserable month and a half, made a few mistakes, and his interviews suggest he is putting too much pressure on himself. Its healthy to be self-deprecating at times, but the young man seems too much on edge, his judgment behind the wheel a few times the past month indicates to me he is trying too hard to do too much. Long term, this guy is a big winner in our sport. Short term, he needs to discover his limits and operate within them.Ryan McGee, ESPN.com: Greg Biffle had really gotten it going in July with three straight top-10s, his first top-10s of the season. But he wrecked at Indy and then finished 25th at Pocono, a track where weve seen him save seasons in the past. Hes not good at Watkins Glen, so were going to be looking at a Hail Mary situation for him at Bristol, Michigan and Darlington. Im not sure that team has a Hail Mary in them.John Oreovicz, ESPN.com: The driver who is putting himself under the most pressure seems to be Chase Elliott. He came close to winning a couple of times, and since then, it looks like hes been pressing, which has led to mistakes and misjudgments. It will be interesting to see whether he can regroup and regain his early season form in the races leading up to the Chase.Bob Pockrass, ESPN.com: Kyle Larson. It appeared that if he kept running fairly well, he should be good for the final Chase spot. Now with Chris Buescher winning, he could end up fighting teammate Jamie McMurray for that final position. And if a driver outside the top 14 wins at Watkins Glen, hell probably need a win to make the Chase.Turn 2: Weve heard a lot about Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney. Whats the outlook for Chris Buescher?Craven: Chris is half a step behind these two, primarily because of the equipment he is in. With that said, Buescher has done more with less than perhaps any other in our sport. Ive always been impressed with his methodical/logic-based approach to driving a race car. It earned him an Xfinity Series title in NASCAR last year ... perhaps it could in Sprint Cup one day if he could land in cars as capable as the 21 and 24.McGee: His talent is unmistakable, but, all due respect to Front Row Motorsports, he needs a better ride. It feels like we might have some unexpected Silly Season moving and shaking coming. I wouldnt be surprised if he gets some top-shelf numbers popping up in his caller ID.Oreovicz: He knows how to finish races, and that skill, when coupled with the right crew chief and strategist, can win races. For the short term, Bueschers outlook is heavily dependent upon whether Roush Fenway Racing can return to being a front-running team. If RFR picks up its game, Buescher is a safe pair of hands for the teams future.Pockrass: Same as it was before Pocono. He will be in a Roush Fenway car by 2018 as Greg Biffles deal ends after 2017 and if no reason exists to keep that relationship going. Trevor Baynes improvement this year -- he currently sits as the top Roush Fenway driver in points -- makes an argument to sponsor Advocare and Roush Fenway that he deserves a contract extension, regardless of what Buescher does. If Advocare doesnt renew, then Bueschers win could boost his chances of Roush Fenway landing sponsorship for him in the No. 6 car.Turn 3: Whats your take on the later start times next year in Sprint Cup, many of them at 3 p.m.?Craven: I applaud any move that helps recapture growth, or at least interrupts declining trends. One has to assume a lot of effort went into making these decisions ... right???McGee: I was working at NASCAR when the meetings took place about the later start times the last time around. The reason it was started was to grab West Coast viewers and the occasional primetime crossover. It was ultimately abandoned because fans had a hard time tracking when races were going to start. So, well see because it feels like its all over the place again. The 10 Chase races hit five different starting times and only start at the same time back-to-back twice. But I do like the idea that in the fall Sunday races will start in the middle of NFL games instead of starting head-to-head at 1 p.m. ET. Thats never a fight NASCAR will win.Oreovicz: I dont care for later race starts because I think they are not friendly to fans or participants. If a 3-1/2-hour race green flags at 3:40 p.m., not too many people are going to make it back to their homes that night unless they are flying private. An extra night on the road costs time and money. My guess is that late start times will adversely affect attendance, so I hope that NASCAR and the television networks are happy with whatever they perceive they are getting from them.Pockrass: When the move to consistent start times was announced in 2009, then-Fox Sports Chairman David Hill said: Its become clear to us that traditional, early Sunday afternoon, start times are favored by NASCAR fans who both attend races and watch on television. Whats changed since NASCAR scrapped later starting times? Fox says: A lot of things that were true about television seven years ago are not necessarily true today. Our interpretation of all the current available data is that we are better served by having some races start later in the day when more people are watching TV. Call me skeptical that the data now is more prophetic than a decade ago. One thing NASCAR must do: It must encourage drivers and teams to do everything they can to connect with fans in attendance.Turn 4: If Dale Earnhardt Jr. cant return after Bristol, should Jeff Gordon continue in the seat?Craven: Only if his heart is in it. Im troubled by Dale Earnhardt Jr. having the final few innings of his career interrupted by injury. Im becoming at least a little concerned that Jeff is filling in because he is such a loyal soldier, so to speak. I do not want to see Jeff put himself in a compromising position. But if he is enthusiastic toward this situation, then he is the absolute perfect man for the job!McGee: I wrote a column about this that Im still catching flak for, but I still feel the same. I think it is so admirable that Gordon has filled in and none of us should have ever expected anything less from him during an incredibly difficult time for the entire organization. And having the winningest road-course racer of all time at Watkins Glen feels like a no-brainer. But every week that ticks by is another week that the 88 team moves away from making the Chase and every week Gordon is in the car feels like another week of crossing fingers and hoping nothing goes wrong. His seat belt came undone at Pocono. I love seeing Gordon out there. But I think theres always been a time when the practical thing to do is put a kid in that car. I think thats now.Oreovicz: Hes in for the next two races, but if Junior doesnt make it back soon after that, its time for Hendrick to start thinking about the future instead of the past. Whether he comes back next month or next year, the end of Earnhardts career is in sight. Grooming young talent in the form of Gordon and Jimmie Johnson has worked for Hendrick in the past, and with Johnson also older than 40 and underachieving Kasey Kahne not much younger, its time for HMS to start building for the future. Problem is, most of the upcoming young talent is contracted to Toyota.Pockrass: No. He has done enough to help the team and also have ideas for the direction Hendrick Motorsports should go to improve performance. The team should have put in Justin Allgaier at Bristol -- the guy had a top-10 there last year in an HScott Motorsports car. Give other drivers a shot and use the car as a test car the rest of the way. Even if that means losing a spot in the owners championship, what can be learned could help win the actual one.

Hundreds of thousands of people play Super Smash Bros. for Wii U around the world. And this weekend in Las Vegas, more than 2,600 of them will gather for a chance at a $25,000 prize pool and world-class bragging rights if they win the trophy Saturday night. Many have a shot, but none have had quite the meteoric rise that 19-year-old James VoiD Makekau-Tyson has.VoiD began his competitive career in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. At his first national event, Apex 2015, he tied for 33rd. Roughly a year and a half since then, hes been on one of the biggest competitive ascents in Smash history.I thought [after Apex] I could become really good at this game if I put the time into it, he told ESPN. The only thing limiting me would be that I live in Hawaii, but I still have great training partners there.Following his big win last year, he began to compete more and more. Before Evo 2015 one year ago, he lived for a while in Southern California, practicing against the likes of YouTuber Sky Williams, Smash legend Gonzalo ZeRo Barrios, Eric Tyrant Legesse, Matt Xzax Liberatore, and more who lived and stayed in Williams home. This made VoiD improve significantly, and he took 49th at Evo 2015, a much larger event than Apex.Like many top competitors in esports, however, tournaments took VoiD to the brink of a major life decision: attend college and sacrifice esports, or commit to esports and let his education take a backseat. VoiD says his family encouraged the former, but, bucking the trend, VoiD chose the latter.[My dad would] say, Youre really intelligent, you have a long road ahead of you, and we dont want to see you fall because you just want to play games, he said. I made the decision because I felt I could become really successful with games. Even though a lot of people didnt support me, I went through with it.The next step was moving to California permanently, and making Williams fabled esports and gaming house his permanent residence. VoiD, who is currently 19, made the jump from his home in Hawaii to Southern California.There are a lot of people who are successful [who live there], he said about his adopted home. I used that to motivate me. Then I got the chance to practice against them and I made sure I didnt get too upset when I was playing, because you always want to make sure youre practicing efficiently and in the right mindset. I feel like, just living there, both the location and the people there helped so much in my growth. I dont think I could be there without them.VoiD said that the move, which he says took him out of his comfort zone, came with one mission: to be successful inn esports.ddddddddddddSince moving, VoiDs road to success has become infinitely more achievable. He took fourth at Genesis 3, Smashs largest tournament to date prior to Evo 2016, and second at PAX Arena, only behind ZeRo. And, most recently, he took second at Apex 2016 and ninth at CEO 2016.His success over the past few months earned him the reputation of a rising star, which led one of esports best known teams, Counter Logic Gaming, to pick him up for their roster. He now lives half-and-half, he says, switching between Williams home and the Counter Logic Gaming house, where fellow Smashers and teammates Tyrell NAKAT Coleman and Richard Keitaro King Jr. live.At the CLG house, I can get a lot done, but I cant get as much done in terms of practicing, VoiD said. I always want to have an outlet where I can go and say, Im here to practice Smash. The CLG house cant provide that, but they can provide a lot more, which is why Im gonna be living at both.But despite his newfound resources, VoiD is a part of a much bigger trend in Smash for Wii U: inconsistency. Nearly every top player, aside from Rosalina & Luma main Samuel Dabuz Buzby, suffers from inconsistent play, placing at various different spots in events. Even players like ZeRo and fellow legend Nairoby Nairo Quezada have this issue. VoiD says he thinks this issue will smooth out as the competitive scene develops more experience over time.I think time [will fix the inconsistencies,] he said. Because one of the main reasons of the inconsistencies is matchup inexperience, and over time, people will get better at matchups. People will understand what these other characters do at a higher level, so that way, theyre more consistent.At Evo, he said that his focus is on the Japanese players, like Yuta Abadango Kawamura, Ryuto Ranai Hayashi, Rei Komorikiri Furukawa, and others who dont regularly attend other events.He still has faith in the American players in the event though, particularly CEO 2016 champion Jason ANTi Bates and runner-up Julian Zinoto Carrington. But specifically, VoiD thinks Nairo, of all the players, has the best shot to take home the gold at Evo come Saturday night.Somebody winning? He pauses to think and then begins to speak. I think Nairo, to be honest. I have a lot of faith in Nairo. Nairo has inconsistencies, but he has really high highs and I think losing is one of the best ways to stay motivated, and I think Nairo can come out on top here at Evo, as long as he has the support he needs.
