The NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs Round of 8 continues at the behemoth that is Talladega Superspeedway in Saturday’s United Rentals 250 (4 p.m. ET, The CW, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
Four spots are still open for a Championship 4 berth following Aric Almirola’s win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Rookie phenom Connor Zilisch sits comfortably above the cutline by 82 points after a runner-up finish at Vegas. Justin Allgaier (plus-44), Jesse Love (plus-20) and Sam Mayer (plus-6) hold the final three provisional spots above the cutline. Brandon Jones (minus-8), Sheldon Creed (minus-21), Carson Kvapil (minus-22) and Sammy Smith (minus-24) will have this weekend and Martinsville next weekend to race their way back above the cutline before a Championship 4 grid is determined.
2025 ARCA Menards Series Champion Brenden “Butterbean” Queen returns to the Kaulig Racing fold to drive the No. 11 Chevrolet for his third start this year. Connor Mosack will make his debut with Viking Motorsports this weekend after the team announced it was moving on from Matt DiBenedetto for the remaining three races of the season.
