Four drivers will depart from the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs Saturday night as the Round of 16 wraps up at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Will it be Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr. and Harrison Burton? They sit 13th-16th in the standings and need great performances during the Bass Pro Shops Night Race. Ty Gibbs (12th) and Chase Briscoe (11th) enter as the last two on the safe side of the cutoff line.
Eleven spots remain in the Round of 12. With his win two weeks ago at Atlanta, Joey Logano is the only driver to clinch his advancement.
The Xfinity Series, Truck Series and ARCA Series all hit the track this week in Tennessee, too. One highlight: Dale Earnhardt Jr. will compete in the Food City 300 Xfinity race.
