The Bottom 4

[Cola83]

Does any of the current bottom 4 make it to the Round of 8? They are

#3-Austin Dillon
#18-Kyle Busch
#14-Clint Bowyer
#10-Aric Almirol

I think only the #18 has a chance, but he will have to win to do it or maybe he takes out the #22, he does owe him one.

If none of them win, no. But the thing is, all of them are capable of winning. Dillon got into the playoffs by winning (and unlike the other person who made it by winning, Custer, he didn't luck into it), Almirola has also deserved a win this year but had no luck, Clint Bowyer is someone you can never really count out (but the least likely IMHO) and Kyle Busch... he's Kyle Busch.

Edit: Of course the other element is if Bowman crashes out. If he goes out early, it's right in the hands of Busch.

Yes - If the 22 or the 88 wreck out they are in trouble. The 18 always seems to rise up for the occasion.

Last time I saw the 22 it was the points leader of the un-locked cars?

The 22 is last of the 8 cars that are in, he is 21 points to the good, the 88 is 22 points and is 7th. No room for error by either.

Oh wow that DNF really hurt him! Last time I saw (just before that big one that knocked the 22 and 18 out) he was 60 points to the good

Top 8s
10 - 15 (6th)
1 - 11 (10th)
3 - 8 (11th)
14 - 7 (12th)

Kurt's not consistently good enough.
Austin Dillon's luck has to run out.
Bowyer & Almirola have too far to climb.

I don't think that any of them get out of here.

Kurt won Las Vegas and is locked in
DUUURRR*

 

[ddrap14]

Kurt's

Do you mean Kyle?

Edit: As a reminder, Kurt won Las Vegas and is locked in

Mr Doofus rescinds previous post.
There's no way back for Kyle; even if he has been very consistent.

Then again, Joey's got no friends and will probably be tagged through spite.
