NASCAR Cup Series cuts Playoff field to Championship 4
Everything changed in 2004, when the Chase for the Championship was introduced. After a handful of tweaks along the way, the current system works like this: the 16 winningest regular-season drivers compete in a four-round, 10-race “tournament” that eliminates four drivers every three races until there’s a “Championship 4” at the year’s last race.
The one who beats the other three—regardless of where they finish relative to the rest of the 36-driver field—is the Cup Series champion. .Only two of 10 races remain in the 36-race season: Sunday afternoon’s Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia, then the Nov. 6, season-ending Cup Series Championship 500K at Phoenix Raceway. Joey Logano has already has qualified for the Championship 4, leaving seven others to argue at Martinsville over the other three spots.
If Sunday afternoon’s winner is among the seven championship-eligible drivers, he automatically moves into next weekend’s season-finale at Phoenix. If Logano or anyone outside the top-seven in points wins, the three highest-ranked drivers will advance with him next weekend. Ross Chastain hopes that he’ll be running against Joey Logano for a NASCAR Cup championship at Phoenix.Starting with the current point-leader and Championship 4 finalist, the eight hopefuls are:won two weeks ago at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. That qualified him for next weekend’s CSC 500-K, regardless of how he fared last weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway or how he fares this weekend at Martinsville.goes to Martinsville second in points, 14 above the top-four elimination cutline of 4,087.
In the Xfinity Series, the Xfinity 250 will determine which two drivers will join Josh Berry and Noah Gragson in the Nov. 5 championship race at Phoenix. The final two will come from Ty Gibbs, AJ Allmendinger, Justin Allgaier, Austin Hill, Sam Mayer, and Brandon Jones.
