The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs are here, and Joey Logano is once again in the spotlight. After defending the playoff format at media day, questions remain: Can he pull off another improbable run like last season? At the same time, Bubba Wallace enters just his second playoff appearance, and for the first time, he says he truly feels like a championship contender. With a wide-open field and no dominant driver, this postseason could be one of the most unpredictable in years.
When you line up the schedule, the odds, and the storylines, it’s easy to see why this year feels different. Joey may not repeat, but Team Penske’s strength at short, flat ovals keeps him dangerous. Meanwhile, Bubba has wins at Kansas and Talladega in his pocket, plus some of the best speed of his career heading into the playoffs. If NASCAR wanted unpredictability and parity, they’ve certainly got it now. This postseason is shaping up to be chaos, and that’s exactly why you won’t want to miss a lap. Who do you think is the dark horse to watch?
