Four drivers will start from the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs Saturday evening, while the Round of 16 ends at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Will it be Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr. and Harrison Burton? They sit 13th through 16th in the standings and need to put in a strong showing in the Bass Pro Shops night race. Ty Gibbs (12th) and Chase Briscoe (11th) enter as the last to cross the finish line.
There are eleven places left for the round of 16. With his victory two weeks ago in Atlanta, Joey Logano is the only driver to have won his promotion.
