With one race remaining in the first round of the Cup Series playoffs, here's which drivers are in position to advance and which need help.
The four drivers who are 13 points or fewer ahead of the cutline are likely going to be nervous, knowing that any incident that puts them a lap down could put them in jeopardy. This also is just the second race on the Bristol concrete oval with the Next Gen car, meaning that there is still much to learn about how the car will react in certain situations.
Here is the outlook and clinching scenarios for playoff drivers. Note that drivers more than likely won't need the points listed to advance as those scenarios require Harvick, who is 12th in the standings, to sweep both stages and finish second.Larson was fifth in 2022 at Bristol, a year after he won the playoff race at the track. All he is doing is looking for playoff points for either winning a stage or a victory to help boost his cushion entering the next round.
