Big Teams sharing the stage with the one- and two-car outfits, as a record 10-teams are represented in this year's 16-team Playoffs.
No team considered a superpower in the sport—Hendrick Motorsports, Team Penske, Joe Gibbs Racing and Stewart-Haas Racing—placed all of its cars in the playoffs.
In a NASCAR Cup Series playoff field that has a record 10 teams represented, half of the 16-drivers come from organizations with two cars or less, an unheard-of statistic just three years ago. 23XI Racing, featuring Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick, is one of just two two-car teams to put both of its drivers into the Playoffs.This season’s playoffs possess a different look from previous years due to one thing—parity.
Due to the parity, Kyle Busch believes the biggest gains in a race are made when others make mistakes. “At no point do I feel like we’re ever completely out of the game,” McDowell says. “The gap is so tight now that you’re only a few things away from getting it right and being in contention. Used to be you’d go to a mile-and-a-half and the top-five guys would be three-, four- or five-tenths faster than 20th. Now they’re a tenth faster. So, every little detail of execution matters on the race car and setup.
