Following Ryan Blaney’s victory at Nashville Superspeedway, the NASCAR playoff picture has become more competitive, placing several drivers at significant risk of missing the postseason. Here’s a breakdown of the current standings and the drivers facing the most pressure:
1. Joey Logano
Despite securing a win earlier in the season, Logano finds himself precariously holding onto the 16th and final playoff spot. His position is vulnerable, with only a slim margin over the drivers below him.
2. Bubba Wallace
Currently 17th in the standings, Wallace is 51 points behind the playoff cutoff. His path to the playoffs requires consistent top finishes and favorable outcomes for other competitors.
3. Chase Briscoe
Briscoe is 18th in points, trailing the cutoff by 78 points. While mathematically possible, his playoff hopes hinge on a series of strong performances and potential misfortunes for those ahead of him.
With only a few races remaining before the playoffs, these drivers face an uphill battle to secure their spots in the postseason.
