DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR returns to Daytona International Speedway to finalize its 16-driver playoff lineup. Tyler Reddick and Alex Bowman hold the 15th and 16th positions but aren’t locked in. Reddick has a 29-point lead over Bowman. However, a first-time winner on Saturday could claim an open spot. Bowman, the only Hendrick driver without a win this season, has a 60-point lead over Ryan Preece for the final spot. Other contenders include Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Kyle Busch, and Chris Buescher. Erik Jones, at 23rd in the standings, must win to make the playoffs.
