"There's 13 drivers locked in and only 16 playoff spots, so they'll be vying real hard for a win at Atlanta Motor Speedway," says Hutchinson. "We increased the banking from 24 to 28 degrees, we had 46 lead changes amongst 20 different drivers," he says referring to the first NASCAR race at Atlanta Motor Speedway earlier in the season.
The 13 drivers who have already clinched playoffs spots are Chase Elliot, Ross Chastain, William Byron, Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson, Tyler Reddick, Kurt Busch, Chase Briscoe, Daniel Suarez, Kyle Busch, Alex Bowman, and Austin Cindric.
