    And relatively narrow too. Hard race to predict, but the big 3 will probably be ok, again, and again, and again. It's also the last win-and-in chance for those below the line.

    Possible to clinch:
    — Jimmie Johnson: If there is a new winner outside the 16-driver playoff grid, Johnson would guarantee a clinch with 37 points. If there is a repeat winner (or a win by Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin, Aric Almirola or Alex Bowman), Johnson would clinch on points, regardless of finish.

    Possible to clinch:
    — Alex Bowman: If there is a repeat winner (or a win by Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin, Aric Almirola or Jimmie Johnson), Bowman would clinch on points, regardless of finish. Bowman could clinch on points with a new winner outside the current 16-driver playoff grid and help (would need to out-point Johnson by 20 points at Indy; if Bowman gets a Top 6 finish, he would need to out-point Johnson by 19 points).

    — The following drivers can only clinch a playoff spot with a win: Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Ryan Newman, Paul Menard, Daniel Suarez, Jamie McMurray, William Byron, Chris Buescher, AJ Allmendinger, David Ragan, Michael McDowell, Kasey Kahne, Darrell Wallace Jr., Ty Dillon and Matt DiBenedetto.

    Clinching for Regular Season Championship:
    Kyle Busch can guarantee a clinch of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Regular Season Championship on his own with 22 points.

    How NASCAR driver points are awarded per race
    By
    Staff Report NASCAR.com February 8, 2017 at 3:02 pm

    Under the charter system that was established in 2016, NASCAR’s premier series events can have up to 40 cars in the field. Each finishing spot in the field earns a driver points, from a maximum of 40 points to the driver who finishes first, down to one point for the driver who finishes 40th. These points accrue over a season and determine the driver standings, as well as the owner standings.

    The addition of three stages to every points-paying race adds a new element. Drivers can earn race points through their performances in Stage 1 and Stage 2. Drivers who are running first through 10th at the conclusion of Stage 1 and/or Stage 2 will receive points, starting with 10 points for first place, nine points for second place, down to one point for 10th place. Points earned in those two stages are then added to what drivers earn after the Final Stage, which sets the full race results.

    Points are accumulated over each of the 36 races. There is a reset for the 16 drivers in the playoffs after the regular-season finale at Indianapolis, the series’ 26th race of the season. There are additional points resets in the postseason after the completion of each three-race postseason round.

    Additionally, a driver can earn bonus playoff points for the following:

    -Five playoff points to the race-winning driver
    — One playoff bonus point to the driver who wins Stage 1 and/or Stage 2 in every event.


    Those points are added on to a driver’s total once the postseason starts. The accumulated playoff points will carry over at the start of the Round of 16, Round of 12 and Round of 8.

    Other key items to know:
    • The driver who starts the race receives the points; a relief driver does not earn points.
    • Bonus points are not awarded in the final race of the season to the Championship 4 drivers.

    Below is a look at how a driver earns points based on finishing position at the end of the Final Stage.

    Team Penske’s Joey Logano took the pole position for the 32nd race of the 36-race 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season, the Hollywood Casino 400, at Kansas Speedway. This race is the sixth of 10 races in the 2018 Cup Series playoffs, and it is the third and final race of the second of four rounds of the playoffs, the round of 12.

    Logano took the pole position for the the 267-lap race around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Kansas Speedway oval in Kansas City, Kansas by recording a top lap time of 28.177 seconds (191.646 miles per hour) in his #22 Ford the third and final qualifying session for the race.

    By taking this pole position, which is his first pole position of the season and the 20th of his Cup Series career for this race, Logano led a top five Ford sweep of the starting grid.

    Stewart-Haas Racing teammates Kevin Harvick and Aric Almirola qualified in second and third place in their #4 Ford and #10 Ford, respectively, while Team Penske teammates Ryan Blaney and Brad Keselowski qualified in fourth and fifth in their #12 Ford and #2 Ford, respectively.

    The next four drivers on the starting grid are all set to be Toyota drivers. Specifically, they are all set to be Joe Gibbs Racing drivers.

    Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Erik Jones, Kyle Busch, Daniel Suarez and Denny Hamlin qualified for the race in sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth place in their #20 Toyota, #18 Toyota, #19 Toyota and #11 Toyota, respectively.

    Hendrick Motorsports’ Alex Bowman, who was the only Chevrolet driver to get into the third and final qualifying session for the race and thus the only Chevrolet driver to qualify in the top 12, qualified in 10th place in his #88 Chevrolet.

    Stewart-Haas Racing’s Kurt Busch and Furniture Row Racing’s Martin Truex Jr. are the other two drivers who made it into the third and final qualifying session for the race. They qualified in 11th and 12th place in their #41 Ford and #78 Toyota, respectively.

    Of the drivers who qualified in the top 12 for this race, nine are drivers who are still eligible to win this season’s championship, as Jones, Suarez and Hamlin have been eliminated from championship contention. Of those nine drivers, only Almirola has clinched a berth in the round of 8, as he did so by winning this past Sunday’s round of 12 race at Talladega Superspeedway.

    The three drivers who are still eligible to win this season’s championship but failed to qualify for this race in the top 12 are Hendrick Motorsports’ Chase Elliott, Stewart-Haas Racing’s Clint Bowyer and Chip Ganassi Racing’s Kyle Larson. They qualified in 13th, 14th and 27th place in their #9 Chevrolet, #14 Ford and #42 Chevrolet, respectively.

    Elliott is already locked into the third round of the playoffs, the round of 8, are a result of his victory in the opening round of 12 race at Dover International Speedway. Bowyer is currently above the round of 8 cut line while Larson is currently below it.

    YES! lol,

    I still think it is Harvick or Busch to lose, they do have the bonus points, but, I also think the paper clip will define the rest of the year for one driver,

    Bowyer, dont underestimate that good ole boy at a short track, any the fords will be strong, along with the 18, Chase is a good story, but I honestly dont see him at Homestead, not this year, but one day soon,

    I only wish Kenseth was round to take out Logano for good memories, LOL, he will be tough to beat,

    Then you have Truex at Texas, Phoenix is a crap shoot, will be a very interesting 3 races before Homestead . . .
