NASCAR Cup Series Playoff Standings After Bristol

Kyle Larson captured a dominant victory in Saturday's Bass Pro Shops Night Race, winning both stages and the race -- earning himself seven valuable playoff points. Now, following the 500-lap contest, the Round of 12 is set and ready to get to the racetrack at Kansas.

Unlike Watkins Glen, the NASCAR Cup Series post-season drivers were mostly stationed at the front of the pack, with seven of the top-10 spots occupied by those eligible for the NASCAR Cup Series title.

Larson (+39) has the safest advantage heading into the second round of the post-season, while Christopher Bell (+24), Tyler Reddick (+17), William Byron (+14), and Ryan Blaney (+11) all have double-digit point advantages.

Denny Hamlin (+7), Chase Elliott (+6), and Joey Logano (+4) are all above the cutline, with Austin Cindric (-4), Daniel Suarez (-6), Alex Bowman (-7) and Chase Briscoe (-7) looking to get themselves into the Round of 8 after the next three-race sequence.
