The NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs has passed the halfway mark and only eight drivers remain in the hunt for a championship. Take a look at the playoff standings and where each driver stands entering the Round of 8. William Byron was the most consistent driver during the Round of 12 as he completed the three-race slate with an average finish of 1.66. It’s been a broken record type of playoff run for Martin Truex Jr. thus far. While he has an average finish of 21.3 through the first six playoff races, Truex continues to survive, advance and regain his 15 bonus points from winning the regular season title. Truex owns two victories at Las Vegas and an average finish of 10th in 23 starts. It’s been a fairly strong playoff start for Bell, as he’s scored three poles and three top 10’s.
