Believe it or not, just seven drivers are locked into NASCAR Cup's Playoff field with three races remaining before Playoffs.
Richmond hasn’t been good to Blaney. The Team Penske driver has one pole in 12 starts dating to 2016, but no victories or top 5s, and only two top 10s in 12 starts. The top 10s were his 10th-place last fall and his seventh this past April. He’s led only 128 of a possible 4,813 laps, all of them last spring.
Going into this weekend, 17th-ranked Truex Jr. is the only driver close enough to make the Playoffs on points. Jones is 18th-ranked, but trails Blaney by 190. He’s optimistic, even though he’s in the unenviable position of having to win one of the next three to have any hope at all.Tim NwachukwuThe Camping World Truck Series continues its seven-race Playoff Series with a 250-lap, 187-mile race Saturday night at Richmond.
Grant Enfinger won last month’s Playoff-opener at IRP ahead of Ben Rhodes, Zane Smith, Stewart Friesen, and Corey Heim. The truck teams practice and qualify in the afternoon this weekend, then run 250 laps Saturday night.Full-time Xfinity Series star Ty Gibbs once again will replace the injured Kurt Busch in this weekend’s Cup Series race. Busch, a 34-time winner and 2004 champion, is suffering concussion-like symptoms from a hard qualifying crash at Pocono Raceway last month.
