Kevin Harvick won the 2020 NASCAR regular-season title on Saturday night at Daytona, and he’ll start the 2020 Playoffs atop the standings as the NASCAR Cup Series season draws to a close.
The Playoff field of 16 drivers will face off over a three-race opening round before a total of four drivers are eliminated. The field will be cut to 8 drivers after another three races, and finally to a Final Four for the winner-take-all season finale at Phoenix Raceway.
