The final race of the Round of 16 in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs heads to Bristol Motor Speedway for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race today.
It is elimination day in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs on Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee. Heading into this race Joey Logano is the only driver locked into the Round of 12 with four veteran drivers on the hotseat today. Denny Hamlin, Brad Kewselowski, Martin Truex Jr. and Harrison Burton are sitting in the 13-16 positions, on the cusp of elimination. None of those four have finished higher than 19th in the first two playoff races setting the stage for a final 12 without them. This season Hamlin has three wins, all before the halfway mark of the season. One of those wins came on this track, which he hopes to replicate today and extend his season.

Keselowski has one win this season as does Burton while Truex Jr. has not found a checkered flag this season. Burton’s win was the most recent of the four drivers attempting to extend their season and drive for a championship coming just four races ago on Dayton International Speedway.
The other 11 drivers contending in the round of 16 today are Christopher Bell and Austin Cindric in first and second place ahead of Logano in third. Alex Bowman, Daniel Suarez, Tyler Reddick, Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, William Byron, Chase Briscoe and Ty Gibbs.
After today the final 12 drivers left in the field for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series will be determined. The round of 12 will have three races much like the round of 16 featuring the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway and Martinsville Speedway. Logano will be joined by 11 other drivers to determine the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Champion.
Regional restrictions may apply.
