As if competing on the furiously fast, high-banks of Daytona International Speedway wasn’t exciting enough, the NASCAR Cup Series will decide its final slate of 16 Playoff drivers there in Saturday night’s regular season finale, the Coke Zero Sugar 400.
Kevin Harvick, driver of the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford, formally secured the NASCAR Cup Series regular season championship last weekend at Dover International Speedway and 13 of the 16 Playoff positions are essentially locked in. Ten drivers have earned berths because of race victories — Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Chase Elliott, Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr., Ryan Blaney, Alex Bowman, Austin Dillon and rookie Cole Custer.
