The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs are now down to just eight remaining drivers competing for the 2022 championship at Phoenix Raceway in November.
The playoffs began with 16 drivers, and after three races, the bottom four (Kevin Harvick, Austin Dillon, Kyle Busch and Tyler Reddick) were eliminated. And after the Round of 12 ended last weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Roval with Christopher Bell taking the checkered flag, four more drivers (Kyle Larson, Daniel Suárez, Austin Cindric and Alex Bowman) were cut from the playoff field.
