The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs are upon us, with the first race in the Round of 16 beginning Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway. From there, drivers will race for positioning as the field narrows to 12 on Oct. 1 at Dover, then eight at Kansas on Oct. 22 and eventually the Championship 4 after the Nov. 12 Phoenix race for a shot at Homestead on Nov. 19.
With stage racing now a factor in the NASCAR playoffs, the race for the Cup is poised to be as exciting as ever. The question now is, who will take home the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup?
