The playoff picture was not really altered last week, as Ryan Blaney took the checkered flag at Pocono. There are 12 winners occupying the 16 playoff spots, as Blaney picked up his second win of the season. That means that there are only four playoff spots left and five races left to run.
Christopher Bell, Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, and William Byron all have three wins each. Bowman and Logano are the most recent additions to the “one win” group, which also includes Tyler Reddick, Chase Elliott, Brad Keselowski, Daniel Suarez, and Austin Cindric. Blaney is the only driver with two wins.
Bell’s 24 Bonus Playoff Points are the most. Larson is a close second with 23. Hamlin finally cracked the 20-point threshold with the win in Stage 2 last week to go along with a strong second-place finish. There are 18 total drivers with playoff points and five – Bell, Larson, Hamlin, Byron, and Blaney – in double digits.
The first playoff race is the Quaker State 400 on September 8 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
