Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr, and Harrison Burton are all on the bubble, but crucially, they can all still make the round of 12.

Last time out at Watkins Glen, Chris Buescher beat Shane van Gisbergen to take the checkered flag and secure a stunning win, but the drivers eligible for the playoffs had a rough time.

The best playoff finisher at the 90-lap thriller was Chase Briscoe. The #16 Stewart-Haas racing driver came home in sixth, making a huge difference to his playoff campaign.
