Already Clinched
The following three drivers have clinched a spot in the 12-driver Xfinity postseason field: Austin Cindric, AJ Allmendinger and Justin Allgaier. Allgaier clinched a spot last weekend at Road America.
Sieg and Jones Heading Home, Again
Two drivers from Georgia entered in this weekend’s race, are extra revved-up about racing at their home track, Atlanta Motor Speedway and looking to finish better than they did earlier this season – RSS Racing’s Ryan Sieg from Tucker and Joe Gibbs Racing’s Brandon Jones from Atlanta.
Jones especially is looking for redemption after finishing 37th at the first Atlanta race. Sieg finished 10th.
Berry Holds onto His Sunoco Rookie Standings Lead, Gibbs Catching Up
Josh Berry held onto the lead in the NASCAR Xfinity Series rookie driver standings over Joe Gibbs Racing’s rising star Ty Gibbs even though he didn’t compete at Road America on Saturday. Berry, who ran a partial schedule for JR Motorsports, is only 18 points ahead of Gibbs after Road America, where Gibbs did compete but had a transmission issue that made him finish 33rd.
Manufacturer’s Championship Up for Grabs
