In the Cup Series Playoffs, this Saturday’s Bass Pro Shops Night Race will once more be an elimination race. At the conclusion, twelve drivers will move on to the Round of 12, while four drivers will be eliminated.
After 500 laps at the Bass Shops Pro Night Race on Saturday, four drivers are heading to Bristol with the knowledge that their hopes of making the playoffs might end.
Importantly, all four of the contenders—Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr., and Harrison Burton—can still advance to the round of 12. Chris Buescher defeated Shane van Gisbergen to win the race at Watkins Glen last time out, but it wasn’t a good day for the playoff-eligible drivers.
Here is everything you need to know about the 2024 Bass Pro Shops Night Race this time around, including viewing options and start time for the race.
