The first part of the 2023 Championship Four is set.
NASCAR's final four races are also the Round of Eight and Championship Four rounds of its playoffs, making them the most important of the season for any driver hoping to win a title. For a driver expecting a title, these are the moments your season hinges on. A win in the next three locks an eligible driver into the championship round regardless of your points situation, though. That means life just got a lot easier for the winner of today's race at Las Vegas, Kyle Larson.
The points banked over the course of the regular season can make the first two rounds of the playoff surprisingly forgiving, as regular season champion Martin Truex Jr. learned when he advanced without a top fifteen in each round this season. Now that only four drivers advance, and only seven on points, that buffer means quite a lot less. Truex is in by just two points, alongside William Byron and Denny Hamlin on the good side of the cutoff line.
