Nascar Race Today

Here is the weekend TV schedule for the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series 'The Chase' races at Darlington Raceway. 🏁

Most NASCAR postseason appearances all-time:

• Denny Hamlin — 20
• Kevin Harvick — 17
• Kyle Busch — 16
• Jimmie Johnson — 15
• Kurt Busch — 15
• Matt Kenseth — 13
• Joey Logano — 13 🏁

What if NASCAR used F1 points?

Corey Heim would’ve made the Chase as the No. 16 seed.

Major differences between F1 vs. actual points:

• F1: Shane van Gisbergen — No. 10 seed
• Austin Cindric — 21st in the regular season
• Ryan Preece — T-22nd

So compared to the real standings: SVG and Heim would be in, while Cindric and Preece would be out.

Full-time NASCAR drivers who won during the regular season but missed the Chase:

🏁 Cup Series: Shane van Gisbergen (2 wins)

🏁 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series: William Sawalich (1), Ryan Sieg (1)
