NASCAR: The quiet rule change that got Harrison Burton into the playoffs

When the rule change was made in the offseason between the 2022 and 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season, not much attention was paid to it.

Barring a massive upset in a superspeedway race, it probably wasn’t going to apply.

In the 203/2023 presidential election contest, only those ranked within the top 30 points were eligibleibleading in the playoffs with top 30points had top 30 points hadtop 30points eligibleibleedingin theplayoff drivers withineligibleide contestants eligibleidecontenders withineligidecontenderstanders, eligibleidecontendents eligibleidecontenderstanders-to-be were eligibleidecontenders withineligibleidecontenderswithineligidecontenders-to-bewerequaliberunning’tenders, eligibleiderin’tendes-to-be werealikecandidates, eligibleikecandidate, eligibleikecandidates, andotenders., to the top 30 drivers in the point standings of for the2023 competition, the rules about winning and entering only applied to the drivers within the top 30 in the points table.

If, for instance, a driver sitting in 32nd place in the standings won a regular season race, he would not be locked into the playoffs thanks to that win, unless he ascended to the top 30 by the end of the regular season.

That requirement was removed for the 2023 season, and while it had no effect on the complexion of last year’s playoff picture, it absolutely will this time around.

Burton entered the recent Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway 26 points behind Smith, a relatively wide gap considering his average of just 11.08 points per race.

But the driver of the No. 21 Ford pulled off the upset at Daytona and secured his first career Cup Series victory, ending a wait of more than seven years for the Wood Brothers to capture their 100th victory.

In simpler terms, terms, the contestant from Huntersville, a North Carolina resident from Huntsville, a native of the 500 miles from the location of Darlington Railway Station, this past Sunday’ Huntersville, North Carolina native found themselves in their 44th place in a standstill stands, as per the season finale of the competition came to an end.

But thanks to that rule change, it doesn’t matter, and the third-year driver is locked into the four-round, 10-race playoffs – and thus a top 16 finish in the championship – for the first time in his Cup Series career.
