William Byron advanced in the NASCAR playoffs after winning at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday, but a wild race shook up the power rankings.
It’s rare to see Buescher finish worse than he ran all day, but that’s exactly what happened at Texas. He scored 15 stage points, most among all drivers, but faded to finish 14th. The Texas native is still 22 points above the cut line – it just feels like he threw away some points.Buescher’s teammate didn’t have the same pace, but he ended up with a better finish. Keselowski crossed the line in seventh, giving him five straight top-10 finishes.
on the all-time list.Bell strategically finished third in Stage 1 and ended the race in fourth after avoiding a handful of accidents. The No. 20 didn’t have nearly the same speed at Texas as it did in the Round of 16, though. But with all the misfortune around him, Bell is now 20 points above the cut line.Reddick, using the same strategy as Bell, won Stage 1 and led 36 laps. He didn’t have the pace to run out front much longer and eventually dropped outside the top-10.
