The Round of 16 has come and gone dropping four drivers from the Playoffs. Kevin Harvick, Austin Dillon, Tyler Reddick and Kyle Busch (ironically all have some sort of tie to RCR) were eliminated following the Bristol Night Race. The Round of 12 will start this week with a visit to the lone star state. Texas Motor Speedway will host the fourth race of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. The Auto Trader EchoPark Automotive 500 will take place on Sunday afternoon rivaling the NFL Sunday slate. The points reset to 3000 plus whatever playoff points each driver has for the next three races.
Joining the NASCAR Cup Series in Texas will be the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The Xfinity Series will be starting its playoffs this weekend on Saturday afternoon. Seven races to go for both the Xfinity and Cup Series until we crown a champion in both.
