Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski have the points but no victory yet in this year’s campaign.
A dozen berths in the 16-car playoff field have been secured via a victory. That leaves at least nine drivers vying for four available playoff positions via points.
Also, there are at least 10 drivers below the cutline capable of winning one of the four remaining regular season races, and with the tracks involved in the scenario, a surprise winner isn’t beyond the realm of possibility.This Sunday there’s the two-mile Michigan track that requires fuel mileage strategy due to the long green-flag runs it produces.
Bubba Wallace enters Michigan 36 points above the cutline. Wallace finished second in last year’s race after starting from the pole. The 23XI Racing driver also performs well at Indianapolis and Daytona.In the series first two years on the Indy road course, Wallace has a 9.0 average finish. His average finish at Daytona is 13.0 where he’s also been the runner-up on three occasions.
Ty Gibbs could make the playoffs in his rookie season. He is just 18 points below the cutline and has experience on all four tracks. While substituting last year for the injured Kurt Busch, he finished 10th, 17th, and 26th at Michigan, Indy, and Watkins Glen, respectively. His average finish at Daytona is 19th and he placed 13th in last year’s regular season finale.
