My NEW Championship Four! | NASCAR Round of 8 Preview & Anaylsis

The Round of 8 has officially begun, and with just three races left before the Championship 4, every lap counts. Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, William Byron, Christopher Bell, Chase Elliott, Briscoe, and Joey Logano are still in the hunt — but with three completely different track types ahead, this stretch will test every team’s versatility and composure under pressure.

• Can Denny Hamlin finally capitalize on his late-season speed and secure that elusive championship berth?
• Is Ryan Blaney’s consistency enough to carry him through another round, or will bad luck strike again?
• Will Kyle Larson’s dominance at high-speed tracks translate to Martinsville and Homestead?
• Is William Byron still the most well-rounded contender in this field?
• Can Christopher Bell repeat last year’s clutch Round of 8 performance?
• Does Chase Elliott have enough momentum to make a late push into the Championship 4?
• Could Briscoe or Logano play spoiler and shake up the playoff picture?
• And with three very different challenges ahead — intermediate, short track, and superspeedway — who adapts best when it matters most?

The road to Phoenix is as unpredictable as ever, and this round could deliver the biggest shakeup yet. Every team’s margin for error is gone — so who survives the chaos, and who watches their championship hopes slip away?
