Entering the Cup race at Indianapolis, Bubba Wallace was on the hot seat, holding the 16th and final spot inside the playoffs. He had just 16 points over the cut-line and the pressure was on, but he stepped up to the challenge in a big way. Wallace proceeded to take a wrecking ball to the playoff points battle, earning a surprise win in the Brickyard 400.
In doing so, Wallace became the 13th different driver to lock themselves into the playoffs. Tyler Reddick, Alex Bowman, and Chris Buescher are now the only drivers currently in the playoffs on points alone, but that could still change.
