It’s a Halloween edition of the penultimate race of the NASCAR season, the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. This .533-mile oval is the shortest, slowest track on the circuit, often where the most mischief happens late in a year where NASCAR drivers are eager to cash in on revenge.

If you’re looking for candy from this experience, well, you trick-or-treated too late. Kyle Larson already ran off with it all, victories in the last two races securing a spot in the Championship 4 and a whopping 74-point lead heading into the Round of 8 finale. He’ll be dressing up as the champion one week early and hoping that costume sticks through the Phoenix finale on November 7.

Chase Elliott will be dressing up with an invisibility cloak, the kind that keeps him hidden from other drivers… especially Kevin Harvick. The reigning Martinsville champ has a 34-point lead on the cutline and a 33-point lead on fourth place Kyle Busch. That should be a healthy enough margin to move on and defend his title at Phoenix. But after a month’s worth of battling Harvick on the racetrack, there’s one last chance for the No. 4 team to get their revenge.

Sure, NASCAR said it should stop. It sure didn’t stop Matt Kenseth back in 2015 from wrecking Joey Logano out of the lead here. Elliott can’t feel safe until after the checkered flag falls with his car in one piece.

Denny Hamlin, third in points, is also in solid position to advance unless catastrophe strikes. Problem is, he’s fading into the background at the wrong possible time, similar to his title run turned sour in 2020. A win this weekend would be nice to keep a little pressure on Larson after the duo battled for the regular-season championship.

For the other five drivers in the championship chase (Kyle Busch, Ryan Blaney, Martin Truex Jr., Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano) it’s one of the most wide-open races in years for that final spot. Truex on paper should have the edge, winning three of the past four Martinsville races but his team has looked unsteady at best over the past month.

That would leave a driver like Kyle Busch in the driver’s seat, right? Except he’s winless since the end of June at Pocono in a fuel mileage finish. Blaney has never won here, period, while his two Penske teammates (Keselowski-Logano) have combined to lead just 64 laps during the playoffs.

It all adds up to a wild card event, the type of race where anything can and often will happen. The list of drivers spinning each other out, then doing post-race PR spin grows seemingly every year. Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin made nice in 2019. Logano bumped Truex out of the way on the last lap to win a year earlier, the victory that catapulted him to the 2018 championship. And who can forget the Elliott-Hamlin brouhaha from 2017?

With the aggression we’ve seen throughout this year’s playoffs, expect another one of these bumper-car endings to be written right into the history books.

Date: Sunday, Oct. 31

Time: 2 p.m. ET

Track: Martinsville Speedway (Martinsville, Va.)

TV: NBC

Radio: MRN, SIRIUS XM Channel 90

Who’s at the Front: Kyle Larson

Larson has this category on lockdown, matching Harvick’s nine-win total from 2020 after pulling away during the closing laps at Kansas. In the process, he set a new record for laps led in a 36-race season (2,397) while winning three straight races for the second time in five months. Anything less than the championship would be a disappointment for one of the best seasons we’ve seen in the playoff era.

Who’s at the Back: Aric Almirola

It just wasn’t meant to be for this Stewart-Haas Racing driver who’s mostly had a 2021 season to forget. An upset victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway landed him inside the playoffs, giving hope the No. 10 team would salvage a disastrous year. Instead, he hasn’t had a single top-10 finish in the last dozen races, running 26th at Kansas to drop to 15th in points, some 116 behind Kurt Busch for 10th. Only Michael McDowell has suffered through a worse postseason with underfunded Front Row Motorsports.

Kyle Larson will start from the pole in Sunday’s (3 p.m. ET, NBCSN) Hollywood Casino 400. The best NASCAR Cup Series driver during the 2021 regular season left nothing to chance, winning last weekend at Texas Motor Speedway to already secure a spot in the Championship 4. Instead of repeating Kevin Harvick’s disastrous Round of 8 in 2020, Larson will be gunning for his third straight playoff victory instead.

Who will join him to fight for this year’s title? That’s anyone’s guess as the other seven playoff drivers remain evenly matched heading to Kansas Speedway. Only Joey Logano appears to be in a win-or-bust situation after his engine failed during the closing laps at Texas.

Those title contenders will be scrambling for stage points, fighting for every position they can in the final 550-horsepower race with this current chassis. The consequences of this high-downforce package were on display at Texas, a chaotic finish with six cautions in the final 60 laps that turned the finishing order upside down behind Larson.

It’s the restarts that get treacherous in the 550-horsepower setup, drivers getting hyper-aggressive knowing it’s one of the few times they can gain track position easily. Passing is especially tough at a track like Kansas, despite its multiple grooves and restructuring over the past decade. Newer asphalt means limited tire falloff and virtually the entire field running around the track wide open.

That parity over a long green-flag run could also be applied to the Round of 8. Six of the seven drivers vying for a spot in the championship finale have won a race at Kansas; in fact, they’ve won eight of nine events held here since the spring of 2017. It makes picking the winner a toss-up at a place Team Penske, Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing have all experienced recent success.

Ryan Blaney is the lone outlier who’s struggled at this 1.5-mile oval as of late. Holding just a 17-point edge on the playoff cutline, he can’t afford another 21st-place finish like the one he registered at Kansas in May. Ditto for teammate Logano, last year’s defending winner who slumped to a 17th-place result in that race with zero laps led.

By comparison, teammate Brad Keselowski ran third, leading 72 laps, and could be in a position to pull off an upset. No driver since Martin Truex Jr. in 2018 has made the Championship 4 with an organization they won’t be driving for the following season. It would be another notch on this future Hall of Famer’s cap to beat the odds, keep his lame-duck group focused and get the job done.

What about the non-playoff contingent? Tyler Reddick and William Byron have been running up front, often into each other, and could easily pull off an upset before the year is out. Matt DiBenedetto ran a season-best fourth here and desperately needs a repeat performance as he remains without a full-time ride for 2022.

But chances are this race will boil down to a handful of drivers battling for their championship slot at Phoenix Raceway. Add in rain in the forecast and the racing could be chaotic as drivers may have to beat Mother Nature, bringing a few extra pit strategies into play.

Starting Lineup for Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400

Who’s at the Front: Kyle Larson

I hate leaving the same driver here two weeks in a row. But Larson’s dominance in Texas left me with absolutely no choice. Leading 256 laps, including the final 218 was made even more impressive with the half-dozen restarts in the final stage. Larson held off all comers each time, getting an assist from teammate William Byron who played the role of offensive lineman for Hendrick Motorsports.

The second-place finish for Byron, eliminated the week before at the Charlotte ROVAL, made him wonder what might have been. For Larson, there’s simply what is: a career-best eight wins, nearly 2,300 laps led on the year, and a great chance at his first career Cup championship.

Who’s at the Back: Ryan Newman

You hate to see the 2002 Cup Series Rookie of the Year ending his full-time career with this type of slump. Another crash at Texas left Newman with three DNFs for wrecks in the last five races, one more than the number of top-5 finishes (two) he’s accumulated throughout all of 2021. As of now, he sits 27th in points, on track for the worst finish of his Cup career. It’s also two spots lower than Newman’s injury-plagued 2020 campaign, when he missed three races after that hard crash at the end of the Daytona 500.

News Briefs

Brandon Jones will return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series and Joe Gibbs Racing in 2022. The driver will be running his seventh full-time season in the sport’s second-tier division and his fifth for JGR, collecting four wins and multiple playoff bids driving the No. 19 Toyota. Unfortunately for Jones, he’s winless in 2021 and sits eighth in the championship race with two races remaining in the Round of 8.

ARCA driver Nick Sanchez will be moving up to the NASCAR Xfinity Series level in 2022. Just two weeks after Bubba Wallace’s victory at Talladega Superspeedway, the Drive For Diversity driver earned a spot on BJ McLeod’s roster for next year. The 20-year-old young talent has eight top-5 and 12 top-10 finishes at the ARCA level this season, sitting third in points heading into the season finale this weekend at Kansas.

Carson Ware has been suspended by NASCAR after being arrested on assault charges. The 21-year-old has six NASCAR Xfinity Series starts this season but is unlikely to race again this year after a police report described him as belligerent, assaulting a female, and destroying thousands of dollars in personal property. Carson is the son of NASCAR Cup Series owner Rick Ware.

NASCAR by the Numbers

868

More laps than Larson has led than any other driver this season. He’s led 2,267 laps while second-place Denny Hamlin has paced the field for 1,399. No other driver is close to 1,000 total with three races left to go.

71

Bonus points earned by Larson over the course of the Cup season, setting a new NASCAR record under this format first adopted in 2014.

Playing the Odds (Fantasy Spin)

Top Tier

Kyle Busch won the Kansas race in May when Larson struggled over a series of late restarts, leading just 20 laps on the day. But it’s part of a continuing trend of solid finishes at this racetrack after a rocky start here earlier in his career. Busch has four top-5 finishes in his last six Kansas races, including that win, and has a position differential of +18. That’s impressive considering most of those events had Busch qualifying at or near the front of the field.

There’s something really impressive with the way Brad Keselowski is closing his Cup career with Team Penske. Third in May at Kansas, he led 72 laps in one of his better drives running the No. 2 Ford this year. Brad has five top-6 finishes in his last six races here, leading laps in each of those races while snagging a victory in the spring of 2019. He may be this organization’s best hope to make it to Phoenix with a shot at the title.

Middle Tier

Kevin Harvick seems to have a permanent spot in this category, right? That’s because I think the No. 4 team is putting its best foot forward to grab a win before the year is out. Continuing that streak (now seven years) of Harvick winning since moving to Stewart-Haas Racing is important to him and crew chief Rodney Childers. While their 550 races haven’t been great, a fifth at Texas was a momentum builder heading into this weekend. Harvick was also a frustrating second last fall, then this spring and understands the strategy needed to finish one spot better here.

Austin Dillon has been overshadowed by his Richard Childress Racing teammate Tyler Reddick at Kansas. Can he turn the tables after runs of 11th and 10th his last two races here? A 14th-place starting spot gives him a better chance to earn you position differential over Reddick (starting 12th).

Lower Tier

Can Ryan Newman break that slump with three races left driving the No. 6 for RFR? He was 16th at Kansas in the spring and will be a cheap play with four DNFs in the eight races held here before that. This one is more of a hunch than anything, but historically, this car has had some of its best races when a driver is preparing to step out (see: Matt Kenseth during the final two races of 2018).

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has crashed out of two of the last three Kansas events, also making him an inexpensive option. He’s never earned a top 10 here yet has four 11th-place finishes in 17 starts. Add in 23 laps led from the May event and you may have a diamond in the rough picking the No. 47 JTG Daugherty Racing Chevrolet.

What Vegas Thinks

Kyle Larson has +240 odds to win the Hollywood Casino 400 according to the latest odds posted at vegasinsider.com. That makes him an overwhelming favorite; Denny Hamlin is next up at a paltry +550 by comparison.

Kyle Busch sits third at +600, followed by Chase Elliott (+800) and William Byron (+900). Austin Dillon is the best of your longshots, sitting at +6000.

Last week, John Hunter Nemechek drove the No. 54 car to victory at Texas. Because Nemechek is not a full-time Xfinity driver, no driver has locked their way into the Championship 4 yet, setting up a drama-filled race at Kansas this weekend.

A.J. Allmendinger, Austin Cindric, Justin Allgaier and Noah Gragson are in position to qualify for the Championship 4 on points. But Daniel Hemric and Justin Haley are just a few points back of Gragson, and while Harrison Burton and Brandon Jones find themselves even farther back, a win by either driver would create some playoff chaos.

In terms of non-playoff drivers, Ty Gibbs is back in the No. 54 car this week. The best car in the series, Gibbs could find himself repeating what Nemechek did last week.

Only one playoff driver has a win here, with Brandon Jones driving to victory twice at Kansas.

In the last race here back in October of last season, Hemric finished second in a race that saw a lot of trouble happen for top drivers, with Cindric finishing 28th and Gragson 36th.

And then, there were eight. The Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway kicks off the semifinal round of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. If a title contender wins on Sunday, they’re guaranteed a spot in the Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway in early November.

Who are we left with? Heavyweights from the three teams that have dominated the sport this year. Let’s break them down by team.

Hendrick Motorsports (2): Kyle Larson enters this round a heavy favorite, even more so than Kevin Harvick last season. A whopping 65 bonus points give Larson an unprecedented 42-point lead on the cutline and a 35-point advantage over second place. It’s a cushion leaving him the only person protected if a potential DNF pops up anytime during the next three weeks.

For reigning champ Chase Elliott, it’s more complicated. He starts two points outside the cutline, sitting sixth, and has yet to win this season on an oval track. An ongoing feud with Kevin Harvick has turned into an outside distraction, leading to just three laps led during the Round of 12.

Will Elliott straighten things out? All eyes are pointed at Martinsville, the short track at the end of this round where the No. 9 team won in 2020, catapulting their title bid the following week at Phoenix. He may need that victory once again in order to advance.

Joe Gibbs Racing (3): Denny Hamlin has arguably been the best driver during these NASCAR playoffs, taking the first race of each round after going winless during the regular season. In particular, 137 laps led during the last 550-horsepower race (Las Vegas) puts him in a solid position at Texas, a track where he’s won three times. If anyone’s going to stop Larson on his mountain climb to the title, it’s the No. 11 team.

Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch are the wild cards of this round, for different reasons. Truex has simply been inconsistent, snakebit by silly mistakes like speeding on pit road during Darlington’s Southern 500 in early September (he wound up fourth).

But Truex, third entering this round, is an important rival for the others to keep outside the Championship 4. He’s the defending winner at both Martinsville and Phoenix earlier this spring and has arguably shown the most speed on those track types.

Busch, meanwhile, started the playoffs by crashing out at Darlington. He’s been invisible compared to his JGR teammates, winless since June, but has quietly put together two top-5 finishes in the last three races. It’s hard to discount a two-time Cup champion from advancing; consider Busch won at Texas last fall and is the defending winner of the Kansas spring race.

Team Penske (3): After fighting punch-for-punch with Hendrick and JGR earlier this season, this three-car team has fallen a step behind. Ryan Blaney is the only driver who starts inside the cutline, holding a one-point edge on his rivals, and has the best shot to advance after back-to-back wins catapulted his playoff bid at the end of the regular season.

Both Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski, despite being former champions, have a grand total of 40 laps led between them during the playoffs. They advanced more through sound strategy and consistency rather than raw speed.

But that’s where the playoffs get fun. Both men have a habit of making the most of their opportunities; just take Logano at Martinsville three years ago. A last-lap bump of Truex got him the win and a trip to the Championship 4 he wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. Weeks later, it was Logano, not the other three dominant drivers from that season, holding up the trophy as the 2018 Cup champion.

Who will break through in a year defined by parity at the top of the grid? I’ll go with Larson, Hamlin, Truex and Kyle Busch. Honestly, though? None of these names would surprise me in the Championship 4, and you can make an argument for any of them, a rarity during the years of this format.

The fans understand it; NASCAR has enjoyed viewership increases in five of six playoff races. So, strap in and enjoy. The next three weeks are bound to be wild.

Time: 2 p.m. ET

Track: Texas Motor Speedway (Fort Worth, Texas)

TV: NBC

Radio: PRN, SIRIUS XM Channel 90

Who’s at the Front: Kyle Larson

Larson entered this year with zero career Cup victories on a road course. He’s leaving it with three, a NASCAR record, after capturing the Charlotte ROVAL. His season-best seventh win of the year overall came after overcoming electrical issues, taking the lead for the first time with just eight laps remaining.

Has Larson now surpassed even the great Chase Elliott on this track type? He won three races to Elliott’s two, earning top-three finishes in five of seven road course events.

Who’s at the Back: Kevin Harvick

Harvick treated Charlotte as a revenge race against Chase Elliott. But when Harvick slammed the No. 9 into the wall, he didn’t finish the job, allowing Elliott to creep back up into 12th and advance into the Round of 8.

With the No. 9 rapidly closing back in on him, Harvick made a mental error and missed a turn, locking the brakes and destroying his No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford. It was the fifth finish outside the top 10 in seven road course races, a type of track the 2014 Cup champion needs to improve on if he’s going to get back into title contention in 2022.

NASCAR by the Numbers

9th

Current position in the Cup Series standings for Kevin Harvick. If that holds, it would be his worst points result since back in 2009 driving for Richard Childress Racing.

16th

Finishing position for Michael McDowell at the Charlotte ROVAL, his best of the playoffs. The Daytona 500 winner remains the only playoff driver (among the 16 who initially qualified) without a top-15 finish during the postseason.

Playing the Odds (Fantasy Spin)

Top Tier

Kyle Larson had never won at Texas before his victory in the sport’s All-Star Race earlier this year. Will that short-term speed carry over? I think so, considering he’s been dominant in the 550-horsepower package throughout most of the season. Consider that 10th at Las Vegas an exception rather than the rule; in crunch time, you’d expect the No. 5 team to put their best foot forward at this track type.

Kyle Busch is the defending Texas winner and has a history of solid performances at this track. Four straight top-10 finishes come packaged with 185 laps led during that stretch and a healthy position differential of plus-13. A third-place starting spot limits how far he can move up on Sunday but I expect Busch to be a contender for the win, earning stage point bonuses.

Related: Best Texas Motor Speedway Drivers for DraftKings

Middle Tier

Tyler Reddick was second at Texas in the summer of 2020 and enters this weekend coming off a runner-up finish at the Charlotte ROVAL. The No. 8 Richard Childress Racing team is focused on stealing a win before the season is out and the next two tracks on the schedule (here and Kansas) offer them a prime opportunity. My only caveat is the ninth-place starting spot limits position differential points, meaning you’ll need to gamble with someone else further down your roster.

Kevin Harvick (when’s the last time you saw him in this tier?) will be a popular pick this week because of position differential. Starting 24th, the three-time Texas fall winner was 16th last October and has struggled at 550-horsepower tracks this year. But a ninth at Las Vegas was promising for this team, another organization focused on getting their first win after Harvick had a career-best nine back in 2020.

Lower Tier

Matt DiBenedetto remains without a ride for 2022 as time runs short on NASCAR Silly Season. A sixth at the ROVAL was his best run since Michigan in August; can that translate into the 1.5-miler at Texas? He’s got just one career top-10 finish there in 11 starts but that did come in October of last year, an eighth-place result.

Could Daniel Suarez pull a last-minute surprise? He was 13th at the Charlotte ROVAL and 15th at Las Vegas, signs this No. 99 Trackhouse Racing Team is getting their act back together after losing momentum during the summer. Suarez has two career top-5 finishes at Texas from when he drove the No. 41 for Stewart-Haas Racing.

What Vegas Thinks

Kyle Larson has +340 odds to win at Texas according to the latest numbers posted on vegasinsider.com. That makes him the favorite over Denny Hamlin (+600), Kyle Busch (+700) and Chase Elliott (+750).

Seeking a longshot? Summer 2020 winner Austin Dillon sits at +2800.

What I Think

I’m going to go outside the box a bit and say Kyle Busch surprises everyone with his second straight win in the fall race. It’s an event that’s tended to have repeat winners (see: Harvick, Jimmie Johnson) and we always see a quirky twist when it comes to who makes the Championship 4.

It may only be the fourth edition of the Bank of America ROVAL 400 but this race is already circled in red as one of the best NASCAR playoff races on the calendar. Its debut in 2018 changed the trajectory of Charlotte Motor Speedway, a wild race that felt like a video game come to life. Martin Truex Jr. and Jimmie Johnson crashed out while battling for the win, handing the trophy to Ryan Blaney inside the final two turns while putting the 2.28-mile road course on the map.

Suddenly, fans who had stopped buying tickets for a tired tradition on the oval, the Coca-Cola 600 were lining up in droves for the ROVAL. NASCAR’s hometown track for race teams was a crown jewel once again, sparking the sport to shift its thinking toward a record seven road courses on the schedule in 2021.

The last two years have been slightly less dramatic, both won by Chase Elliott as he’s continued to dominate on this track type. A third straight win on Sunday would be just what the doctor ordered for Elliott and his Hendrick Motorsports program. The sport’s best regular-season team is stumbling through the playoffs, winning just once while two of their four drivers face almost certain elimination.

William Byron and Alex Bowman sit over 40 points behind the cutline, meaning each needs a first career road course victory to advance. More than likely, HMS will focus on protecting Elliott, nine points above the cutline, and regular-season points champion Kyle Larson instead (+22). Larson knows what a wild card this ROVAL can be, wrecking hard from the lead in 2018 before riding the wall on the final lap, limping his damaged race car home to pick up just one more position and advance in the playoffs.

Danger lurks at every turn here for championship contenders, a race that averages over 30 cars finishing on the lead lap. A spin can lead to a multi-car pileup quickly, costing you precious track position with no guarantee the caution’s coming out for a reset. When they do happen, restarts are wild, a hard braking zone into turn 1 leaving everyone scrambling to pick off as many positions as possible.

The last time we visited a ROVAL, AJ Allmendinger shocked the world and snookered the Cup regulars with an upset victory at Indianapolis. He’s back with Kaulig’s Racing No. 16, one of several drivers who could spoil the playoff party like Bubba Wallace’s surprise victory last weekend at Talladega Superspeedway. Rookie Chase Briscoe came a restart away from winning Indianapolis himself; the new father earned his first NASCAR Xfinity Series victory here back in 2018.

But this race should boil down to a handful of title contenders and who can join Denny Hamlin in the Round of 8. Ninth place Kevin Harvick sits just nine points behind the cutline; 10th place Christopher Bell (-28) has already won at this type of road course this year (Daytona). A good run by either of them would knock out another heavyweight, a list that includes Cup champions Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, and Martin Truex Jr. Not everyone can make it to the semifinal round in a year where there’s so much parity at the top.

Will the ROVAL produce another coronation for Elliott, the reigning NASCAR champ? Or will we see another upset deeper in the playoff field as the desperation to reach the Championship 4 ratchets up?

Date: Sunday, Oct. 10

Time: 2 p.m. ET

Track: Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL

TV: NBC

Radio: PRN, SIRIUS XM Channel 90

Who’s at the Front: Bubba Wallace

It was right place, right time for Wallace as a phenomenal drive took him to the front at Talladega right as a multi-car wreck happened behind him. Moments later, the rains came, forcing a red flag 71 laps short of its scheduled distance. When Mother Nature didn’t let up, that gave Wallace his first Cup win in his 143rd career start.

History was made with Wallace the first African-American driver at NASCAR’s top level to win since Wendell Scott way back in December 1963. It was also the first trophy for the NBA’s Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin as car owners of the fledgling first-year team at 23XI Racing. Sponsor McDonald’s completed the trifecta, ending a stock car curse that’s lasted for decades. The longtime primary sponsor visited victory lane for the first time since Jimmy Spencer drove for them way back in 1994.

Who’s at the Back: Justin Allgaier

This NASCAR Xfinity Series star has been pedestrian whenever he returns to Cup. Allgaier got caught in a wreck with the Spire Motorsports No. 77 at Talladega, his third DNF in four Cup starts since 2016. That list includes a one-race deal turned disaster with Hendrick Motorsports, crashing out while subbing in the No. 48 car last summer at Indianapolis.

News Briefs

A special guest will be helping Martin Truex Jr. wind his way around the Charlotte ROVAL this weekend. Former championship crew chief Cole Pearn, who paired with Truex to win the title in 2017, will come out of retirement to be an additional spotter for his friend down in Charlotte.

Big Machine Racing Team has announced a partnership with Richard Childress Racing for 2022. The independent NASCAR Xfinity Series team looks to step up its performance with better equipment after a disappointing first full-time season with driver Jade Buford. The No. 48 has one top-10 finish through 28 races while Buford sits just 23rd in driver points, falling well short of playoff contention.

GMS Racing will live stream their 2022 Cup Series driver announcement on Sunday, Oct. 10 at 10 am. ET on NASCAR.com. GMS has one of the few full-time openings left available at the Cup level for 2022.

Total lead changes in the two Cup races held at Talladega this season. Even with a rain-shortened race in the mix, that’s by far a season best for any track with two dates on the schedule.

Playing the Odds (Fantasy Spin)

Top Tier

Two straight wins make it hard to ignore Chase Elliott at the top of your lineup. Six races into the road course schedule, Elliott has been the fastest driver overall, scoring two wins, two runner-up finishes, and a fourth at Indianapolis. At minimum, he’ll rack up a ton of bonus points for leading laps and fastest laps, collecting stage points along the way.

Good friend Ryan Blaney started the year leading the exhibition Busch Clash before Elliott spun him out in the final two turns. Doesn’t it feel like this track type owes him one? Team Penske has had an underwhelming playoff but put itself in position to advance all three cars by avoiding any carnage at Talladega. Blaney has the best chance among the three to sneak in another victory before the Round of 8.

Middle Tier

AJ Allmendinger moves up a notch despite a limited schedule and no points on the line with Kaulig Racing. How can you ignore the Indianapolis winner with the amount of position differential points he’ll earn starting 33rd? The only caveat I have is the ‘Dinger will come into this race holding a boom-or-bust mentality. Bringing it home on a wrecker means little to this team, building up their Cup program for 2022, but it’ll crash your chances to cash in on daily fantasy.

I’ve really liked the way Tyler Reddick and the Richard Childress Racing program has performed during the playoffs. While failing to advance into the Round of 12, Reddick posted a sixth-place finish two weeks ago at Las Vegas before getting caught up in a Talladega crash. Three road course top 10s in six starts this season bode well for a track where he ran a respectable 12th last fall.

Lower Tier

Cole Custer has been invisible most of the year, a sophomore slump for the ages with Stewart-Haas Racing. But while many will pick rookie teammate Briscoe to put on a repeat performance, don’t sleep on the No. 41 to sneak away with some kind of a solid finish. Custer was ninth here last October and has quietly posted four top-20 results on road courses this season.

Erik Jones finally figured the Charlotte ROVAL out last year, surging to a third-place finish after runs of 30th and 40th earlier in his Cup career. The No. 43 Richard Petty Motorsports team knows they can excel in these types of races where driver skill means just as much as equipment.

What Vegas Thinks

Vegasinsider.com lists Chase Elliott as an overwhelming favorite, sitting with +220 odds to win the Charlotte ROVAL. Kyle Larson is next up at +450 followed by Martin Truex Jr. at +700.

Thinking the ‘Dinger can pull off back-to-back Cup victories? AJ Allmendinger is your best longshot at +1800.

Kyle Larson has six NASCAR Cup Series wins this season, spending most of 2021 as the championship favorite. He enters the YellaWood 500 (Sunday, 2 p.m. ET, NBC) with a 57-point gap on the cutline, what should be a comfy position with two races left in the Round of 12. Martin Truex Jr., sitting fourth, has a 31-point edge of his own, compiling an average finish of 4.0 four races into the NASCAR playoffs.

So why do neither one of them feel safe?

The most unpredictable track in all of NASCAR looms large on the horizon: Talladega Superspeedway. This 2.66-mile tri-oval could literally shake up a dozen title contenders in a matter of seconds, its habit for multi-car wrecks and surprise winners leaving every championship contender on edge.

“We will cross our fingers, cross our toes,” Truex said. “Do some praying this week and go to Talladega and see what happens.”

Don’t believe me? Check out what just happened in Saturday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. A 21-truck wreck on lap 59 sent a dozen drivers into the garage early, sparking a series of incidents and contact that continued on through the final lap of the race.

Coming off turn 4, underdog Tate Fogleman saw an opening, his only chance to win this year in subpar equipment. That meant Truck championship favorite John Hunter Nemechek became easy prey as the No. 12 turned the No. 4 heading to the start/finish line, winning the first race of his NASCAR career.

Playoffs be damned, right? In that series, Zane Smith lost 21 points on the cutline, just like that, despite having a Truck capable of winning the race. The only reason why is he happened to be in the wrong place, wrong time at a track that often gives drivers no time to react when the Big One breaks out.

See why all the championship drivers are sweating bullets? There’s a valid argument to be made a track like ‘Dega, with an inability for so many to control their own fate, shouldn’t be a part of the playoff schedule. But no one will argue racing here keeps it interesting, the one place all year where literally every car in the field could find themselves a winner if the draft (and the crashes) break their way.

Some are better at pack racing than others; Brad Keselowski leads all active drivers with six career Talladega wins. By comparison, Larson hasn’t ever finished inside the top 5 here or at Daytona in his Cup career. Most guys are somewhere in the middle, doing their best to simply stick around to the finish while learning where and how to make their moves in the draft when it counts.

And when they do pull out of line? There’s no margin for error. Just one mistake could mean a multi-car wreck that scores you one point for 36th or worse, sitting in the garage while someone else is finishing second and producing a 50-point swing (or more) in the standings.

So get ready for a wild ride, a rollercoaster of lead changes until the very last second (‘Dega’s averaged 50 the last three events here). Who will be able to pull the best strategy, catch all the right breaks and snake their way to the front at the finish?

JGR pulled the right slot machine out in Las Vegas, finishing 1-3-4 with Denny Hamlin winning his second race of the playoffs and securing a spot inside the Round of 8. He’s the only one breathing a sigh of relief this weekend, knowing no matter how mangled the No. 11 Toyota gets he’s still assured a chance to make the Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway.
