The second race of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs will be the Enjoy Illinois 300, held at the World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois this Sunday. Last weekend, Chase Briscoe won the first race of the post-season, winning the Cook Out Southern 500 and securing his place in the second round of the playoffs. At the end of the third race at Bristol Motor Speedway next weekend, three drivers will be eliminated from playoff contention, with additional drivers eliminated after Race No. 6 (Bank of America ROVAL 400 on Oct. 5) and Race No. 9, the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville on Oct. 26.
By the final race on November 2, just four drivers will race for the championship title at Phoenix Raceway. You can take a look at how the 16-driver field currently stacks up heading into this weekend’s race.
