#10 through #6

Chevrolet, LW: 10. CODY COUGHLIN. #10. Finishing three laps down in 28th place at Eldora hurt Cody Coughlin’s playoff hopes. He is over 100 points below the playoff cut line and must win to nab a Truck Series playoff berth. With only three races left in the regular season, he is running out of chances.. No. 2, GMS Racing

No. 13, ThorSport Racing. Ford, LW: 9. MYATT SNIDER. #9. Myatt Snider finished the second stage of the race at Eldora in eighth place, but faded he to 20th at the end. Three stage points will not help him make the Truck Series playoffs. He is 99 points below the playoff cut line and must win to be in the playoffs.

#8. Matt Crafton was the last driver to go out in single-truck qualifying at Eldora. Because 38 drivers made their qualifying attempts, the grip on the track was minimal. However, he found enough grip to qualify in ninth place. He parlayed that run with a victory in his qualifying race. Ultimately, he finished the race in fourth. While he didn’t win, he continued his run to make the playoffs on points. Although he is the last driver above the playoff cut line, he has a 99-point lead over teammate Myatt Snider below the cut line. He’ll look to continue that run as he pursues a third career Truck Series championship.. No. 88, ThorSport Racing. Ford, LW: 8. MATT CRAFTON

GRANT ENFINGER. #7. 0.038 seconds was the difference between a second place finish and a win and thus a playoff berth for Grant Enfinger at Eldora. However, he is still the first driver who would make the Truck Series playoffs on points. Races similar to the Eldora Dirt Derby will certainly aid him in his quest to make the playoffs. Of course, a victory would clinch him a berth in them as well. Although he raced teammate Chase Briscoe as hard as he could during that final dash to the finish, he could not quite clinch that berth.. No. 98, ThorSport Racing. Ford, LW: 7

Ford, LW: 6. STEWART FRIESEN. #6. The prohibitive favorite to win at Eldora came up short by two spots. Still, a third place finish is an impressive run for Stewart Friesen. If nothing else, it showcased his talent, as he rebounded nicely from a lap 29 spin. He has been close on several occasions this season as he continues to chase his first career Truck Series victory.. No. 52, Halmar Friesen Racing
