Who will join Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson in the final four at Phoenix?
There are two spots in NASCAR's championship race up for grabs in the final race of the third round of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs at Martinsville. Bell and Larson are locked in because of their wins in the first two races of the round and a win by any of the other six playoff drivers means another automatic berth into the final.
William Byron is likely the only driver who doesn't have to worry about another playoff driver winning the race. Byron enters as the top driver in the points standings behind Bell and Larson thanks to finishes of seventh and fourth over the first two races of the third round. Everyone else needs to be thinking about a win. Here's how we'd handicap the final four chances of everyone not-named Larson or Bell.Byron isn’t totally safe entering the final race of the third round, but he should be feeling very good about his chances. Solid finishes in the first two stages will give Byron a good cushion in case something goes wrong in the second half of the race. The worst-case scenario for Byron is a crash or equipment failure in the first stage.
