Chase Elliott emerged victorious at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, denying Ryan Blaney a chance of becoming the 20th different winner of the 2022 season by 0.046s.
After the race, these drivers found themselves below the cut line: Austin Cindric, William Byron, Christopher Bell, and Alex Bowman. Chase Briscoe is tied with Cindric and sits just above the cut line.
Bowman’s elimination is now certain as he announced he will miss the Cup race at the Roval, focusing on his continued recovery from a concussion sustained at Texas Motor Speedway two weeks ago. Cody Ware, who injured his ankle at TMS but still raced at Talladega, will sit out the road course race as well.
Also this week, NASCAR slammed Kevin Harvick and the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing team with a massive penalty, deducting 100 points from the driver/team and issuing a $100,000 fine. Crew chief Rodney Childers has also been suspended for the next four races.
