Saturday night’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway will mark the end of the line — at least in championship terms — for four drivers.
As the third race in the first round of the playoffs, Saturday’s 500-lap marathon is the cutoff for the Round of 16. The four drivers below the cutoff line at the end of the race will be eliminated from the playoffs.
Entering the race, Kyle Busch, Austin Dillon, Chase Briscoe and Kevin Harvick are below the magic line. Saturday night’s race (7:30 p.m.
ET) will be televised by the USA Network. A look at drivers to watch at Bristol: Christopher Bell Bell leads the playoff points and has locked in a place in the Round of 12.
