A rain-delayed 1000Bulbs.com 500 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway would not shorten the excitement when the race resumed on Monday. A pair of Ryans would finish less that a foot apart – 007-seconds around the superspeedway when the checkers finally dropped. Ryan Blaney would edge Ryan Newman for the “W” and advance to the round of 8 with next week an elimination race at Kansas Speedway. The field will be trimmed to 8 drivers advancing into the playoff field for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Champion.
Drivers that are in jeopardy of not advancing:
7) #2-Brad Keselowski 3078, +20
8) #22-Joey Logano 3076, +18
outside the top 8
9) #88-Alex Bowman 3058, -18
10) #9-Chase Elliott 3054, – 22
9) #14-Clint Bowyer 3052, -24
10) #24-William Byron 3049, -27
