After the NASCAR Cup Series race at Nashville Superspeedway, Bubba Wallace was the first driver out of the playoffs by a staggering 51 points. It looked like Wallace would need a win, but everything has changed. With four races left in the 2024 NASCAR regular season, the playoff bubble has become very crowded as drivers look to be one of the final 16 competitors.

The next four races are at Richmond, Michigan, Daytona, and Darlington, which all present unpredictable factors. So, what does the playoff bubble look like during the 2024 Olympic break? Below, we look at the current standings.

2024 NASCAR Cup Series playoff bubble (four races left)

13) No. 19 Martin Truex Jr.: +108

14) No. 54 Ty Gibbs: +42

16) No. 17 Chris Buescher: +17

16) No. 1 Ross Chastain: +7

17) No. 23 Bubba Wallace: -7

18) No. 14 Chase Briscoe: -83

19) No. 8 Kyle Busch: -112

20) No. 38 Todd Gilliland: -118

Martin Truex Jr. has a healthy gap, while Ty Gibbs, Chris Buescher, and Ross Chastain try to hold off Wallace. If there aren’t any new winners, this is the fight for the final playoff spots on points; however, a new driver in victory lane would change everything.
