With 15 drivers locked into the Cup playoffs, here's where the others stand entering Saturday's regular-season finale at Daytona.
: Wallace has enjoyed some of his best finishes at Daytona and earned his first career victory at Daytona's sister track of Talladega. If he doesn't wreck, he'll most likely get in on points as long as there is no new winner.
"You just have to go out and run your own race," Wallace said."Who knows what can happen Lap 1 for us next weekend? You have to go with a positive mindset and believe.": The rookie was 13th a year ago at Daytona subbing for Kurt Busch and 25th in the Daytona 500. He likely will need his first career Cup victory to make it into the playoffs.
"I don't really know what mindset to have going there," Gibbs said."Just stay clean and try to make it to the end and have a good finish.": The up-and-down regular season for Suarez will end at a place where he has inconsistent finishes. His best Daytona finish was seventh this year in the Daytona 500.
"At Daytona, anything can happen," Suarez said."Somebody else can make a mistake in front of me and that's it.": Elliott has won in his career at Talladega but never Daytona, where he has a pair of second-place finishes. This year, he has missed seven races — six because of injury, one because of a suspension.
"It's always chaos," he said."So trying to navigate that and understand that there are going to be a lot of other guys in the same boat, I see it as a legit, feasible chance. If I didn't, I probably wouldn't even show up. I feel like it's part of what makes race car drivers tick.": Briscoe was third in the 2022 Daytona 500, but that is the only Daytona race he has finished without getting caught up in a wreck in his past four starts.
