The NASCAR Cup Series Playoff bubble just got even tighter—and it’s not just about points anymore. From Bubba Wallace’s surge to Joey Logano quietly creeping up, the fight for the final few spots is turning into an all-out war. But while the top 10 seem locked in, the chaos from 11th to 20th is enough to flip the script any Sunday.
The math says only 3–4 spots are realistically open, and the names fighting for them are Cup champions, playoff regulars, and young guns on the rise. Some are gambling on wins. Others are banking on consistency. But as the regular season winds down, one thing’s clear: there’s no room for error left. Who’s your pick for the final playoff spot—and who’s out? Drop your hot takes.
