With the regular season coming to its last race, there is one spot left to grab for the 2021 Cup Series playoffs.
The 2021 Cup Series regular season has seen 14 different winners with one race remaining. Kyle Larson leads the pack with five wins, followed by Martin Truex Jr. and Alex Bowman with three wins each.
Kevin Harvick became the 15th driver to grab a playoff spot after a 14th-place finish Sunday at Michigan International Speedway. This means that there is only one point up for grabs for the remaining drivers in the 2021 Cup Series playoffs.
Why Ryan Blaney has Kyle Busch to thank for after his Michigan win?
Here is how the table looks like:
1. Kyle Larson … 5 wins, 37 playoff points
2. Martin Truex Jr. … 3 wins, 20 playoff points
