The drivers are just five races away from the Round of 16 opener at Darlington Raceway.“That [playoff] cut line every year has moved,” Dale Earnhardt Jr. noted. “Every single year, someone below the line has won their way in, and that’s going to move the cut line above Bubba Wallace, which is right now Chris Buescher.”Chris Buescher, driver of the No. 17 for RFK Racing, is currently at +44, 19 points behind Alex Bowman, who sits at +63. As things stand, if there’s a new winner from below the cut line in the coming weeks, things could get trickier even for the Hendrick Motorsports ace.“Maybe last year, we had three guys that were above the cut line at this point that did not make the playoffs. You’re never safe,” the Hall of Famer added.For now, all eyes are on Indianapolis Motor Speedway for this year’s running of the annual Brickyard 400. Fans can watch the race directly from the grandstands or catch its live coverage on TNT Sports, 2 pm ET onwards. Radio updates will be available on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio as well.
