What is the alternative rule if they can't fill it with winners?

Highest folks in points without a win get those spots. So right now the 3 highest without a win would make the playoffs.

Yeah, so like Harvick today was bumped out of the top 16 spots for the playoffs when Reddick won. He probably wasn't celebrating like we were. lol It's so weird for Harvick, MTJ and Blaney to not have wins by now.

Also.. fun fact... the only full time driver without a DNF right now is Aric Almirola.

I hope Harvick doesn't make the playoffs.

I hope Harvick doesn't make the playoffs.

Why's that? Harvick's been my favorite driver since he took over for Earnhardt in '01.

I liked him then also but his bad attitude made me sour on him over the years.

Parker Kligerman wins at Mid-Ohio! I have wanted to see him end up in a full time ride someplace for awhile now. Hopefully next year he gets that wish. Great win for a small team in the truck series.

I always like to see the underdog win.

Congrats to Chase Elliott for winning at his home track. Them starting the siren from a car battery is awesome. lol Wild how that whole thing turned out. Chase winning in Atlanta with Rutledge waiting in his home town in case he won.

I really wanted to see Truex Jr. win though. So while I have no issue with Chase I did feel bummed out. MTJ was so close! Plus I want to see there be 16 different winners!

Atlanta's ending up to be a better track than I thought that it would be going in to this season. When Elliott got around LaJoie there at the end I knew it was over and then Lajoie wrecked. He just isn't used to being up at the front like that.

Georgia boys won both races in Atlanta this weekend! HELL YEAH

Congrats to Chase!

They were lucky to meet Chase.

Ford already met Chase. Last year at the 500, Profits showed up and gave Chase a WWE Championship for winning the 2020 Championship.

uh...what? 2024? They really wanted to get him locked down so bad. lol I like Reddick being at RCR. So it's going to suck to see him go to 23XI.
