With Atlanta, Watkins Glen, and Bristol all in the opening round of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, it's safe to say that drivers are feeling pretty uneasy.
Five years ago, that three-race stretch in the opening round of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs wouldn’t be so terrifying to the 16 championship-eligible drivers. However, in the year 2024, just about everybody is feeling uneasy heading into the post-season.
‘Uncertainty’ is the buzzword for the opening round of the NASCAR Playoffs this season, with it taking over as the wildcard round from the Round of 12, which has traditionally included Charlotte Motor Speedway’s ROVAL and Talladega Superspeedway . An overwhelming majority of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoff field shares a version of the same two sentiments: 1) Chaos is imminent, and 2) What happens in this first round may not completely be in your control.
“I’ll be honest, the first round is the scariest it’s been in a long time with Atlanta, a superspeedway, starting us off,” said Christopher Bell, who has made the Final Four in back-to-back seasons. “We all know how that can go, and then we go to Watkins Glen, which should be a normal racetrack, but with the expected tire degradation and wearing out tires really early and struggling to make laps and having to pit all the time.
