However, after an up-and-down night for the 16 drivers in the Playoff field, there are some drivers not feeling as great leaving the 1.366-mile track known as The Lady in Black. Shane van Gisbergen dropped to 12th in the championship standings, and he finds himself just three points above the cutline after a 32nd-place finish.

Joey Logano, Austin Cindric, Josh Berry, and Alex Bowman will head into next weekend's race at World Wide Technology Raceway below the cutline.
