Starting Lineup for the Bristol Night Race

The NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs field will be cut from the 16 drivers to 12 drivers on Saturday night, as Round One concludes at Bristol Motor Speedway. Heading into this race, there are three drivers already locked in to the next round of the Playoffs (Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, and Denny Hamlin), with Joey Logano, Martin Truex, Jr., and Austin Dillon all having 36 (or more) point advantages over the cut line. With Bristol being a half-mile short track, starting position is very important here.
