Let the official countdown begin: In less than 366 days there will be official playoff racing action in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) at iconic Bristol Motor Speedway.

Diehard fans of The Last Great Colosseum have pleaded and begged for the historic racetrack to be a part of the post-season for many years, and NASCAR delivered by placing The World's Fastest Half-Mile in a key playoff spot on its 2020 season schedule. The race weekend will feature playoff races in both the Xfinity Series and the Gander Outdoors Truck Series as well.

The drama on Saturday, September 19th is guaranteed to be at an all-time high when the best stock car drivers in the world face the first cut-off race in the 2020 MENCS Playoffs. That evening on the fabled all-concrete high-banks, four drivers will be eliminated from championship contention, reducing the eligible champion's list from 16 to 12.  

Based on past history alone under the lights at the legendary bullring, which was tagged "The Holy Grail of Short Tracks" by Kurt Busch in 2018, all the scenarios at play here will surely produce an epic finish.


Can you imagine the beating and banging among rivals that will be sure to materialize during the final 10 laps with playoff implications on the line as drivers are muscling their cars into position? Not only will there be drivers up front rubbing fenders for the victory, but there will be several drivers scattered throughout the field who will be fighting with everything they've got to keep their Playoff dreams alive.

It's certainly going to be a race that you don't want to miss.
