The start of the 2024 NASCAR season is here! In preparation for the season’s start, today we will be predicting the 16 drivers that will make the NASCAR Playoffs.
First we will start with the group of drivers I believe will win a race during the regular season and the order they finish in the regular season standings.
William Byron
Denny Hamlin
Kyle Larson
Chase Elliott
Ross Chastain
Tyler Reddick
Alex Bowman
Ryan Blaney
Christopher Bell
Bubba Wallace
Joey Logano
Kyle Busch
Ty Gibbs
Chase Briscoe
The most shocking person on this list is probably Chase Briscoe. Briscoe won early in the 2022 season and proved he was a capable winner at the Cup Series level. Last year, SHR and Briscoe both had the worst years they have ever had at the Cup Level. I think they are due for a bounce back, Briscoe may not be the most consistent driver but I think he is capable of winning in the new redesigned Ford this year.
I think both Ellitott and Bowman will have bounce back seasons after being injured last year. I’m also banking on the Toyota’s to have a lot of speed, meaning 5 of the 6 JGR/23XI Racing drivers pick up a win. It wouldn’t shock me if Erik Jones is also in the mix for a race win but maybe the first year in a Toyota for Legacy MC is too early to get a win.
