Saturday night’s Bass Pro Shop 500 at the half-mile bullring will trim four of the original 16 championship hopefuls from the field.
Racing. Bell is atop the standings with 2,108 points on the strength of fifth- and third-place finishes in Playoff races at Darlington and Kansas City.
Regardless of what happens over 500 full-contact laps Saturday night, the young Oklahoma native will remain a championship hopeful throughout the upcoming Round of 12 at Fort Worth, Talladega, and Charlotte. Those races will trim the field from 12 to eight contenders for the Round of 8 at Las Vegas, Homestead, and Martinsville. Those races will establish the Championship 4 for the season-finale near Phoenix on Nov. 6.
Kyle Busch has had a good week off the track, but he could still see his 2022 title chances end on Saturday night.While Bell can sleep relatively well this week, the same can’t be said of former champion Kevin Harvick. After becoming Playoff-eligible by winning back-to-back at Michigan and Richmond in August, the Ford driver for Stewart Haas Racing has stumbled badly recently. He was a fire-related 33rd at Darlington on Labor Day weekend and a wreck-related 36th last weekend at Kansas City.
Three others are jammed together with Harvick below the cutoff line, but their situations aren’t nearly as dire. Stewart Haas teammate Chase Briscoe is nine points below the line, Austin Dillon of Richard Childress is minus-3, and two-time champion Kyle Busch is two below the line. On a brighter note, at least Busch is free of the season-long uncertainty regarding his immediate future. After 15 spectacular years with the Gibbs organization, he confirmed on Tuesday his new deal with RCR.
