The Playoff Points Will Matter

This might not come as a surprise but the playoff points are going to matter this season. With all of these different points being awarded it’s nearly impossible to think that the playoff points aren’t going to come into play in deciding who makes the final-four in the playoffs.

Now for those who might not know, the playoff points have no impact on Homestead one the final-four is set.

Getting to the final-four will be another story though. The driver that wins the most (Keselowski) is going to have the inside edge on making it to the final-four this season, especially if he gets some segment wins too.
