With three races to go until the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, RFK Racing teammates Chris Buescher and Ryan Preece are separated by just 23 points.
There are two wild-card tracks (Watkins Glen International and Daytona International Speedway) and one short track (Richmond Raceway) to come.
While any number of scenarios could play out at Daytona, it’s looking like either Buescher and Preece will make the playoffs, but not both.
Who will make it? Or will there be an upset winner like Harrison Burton last year that leaves RFK empty-handed?
