Playoff standings jumbled after chaotic Southern 500

nbcsports.com

DARLINGTON, S.C. — There was fire and there was rain. And venerable Darlington Raceway, which hosted its first Cup race in 1950, showed it is still as difficult as ever.

The result is a jumbled playoffs standings — featuring a former champion first and another last — with two races left in the first round.

Sunday’s Southern 500 victory by Erik Jones, who is not in the playoffs, means that no one advanced to the second round after 4 hours, 9 minutes of racing Sunday night.

Former champion Joey Logano leads the playoff standings after placing fourth. He has 2,065 points heading into this weekend’s Cup race at Kansas Speedway.
