NASCAR’s latest in-season challenge has set the motorsport world on fire, igniting excitement and speculation among fans and drivers alike. This high-stakes bracket-style tournament offers a jaw-dropping $1 million prize to the ultimate victor, adding an electrifying twist to the already adrenaline-pumping races.
The competition features the top 32 drivers based on points from three weeks ago, excluding latecomer Shane van Gisbergen, who missed the cutoff despite a recent stellar performance in Mexico City. Each week, two drivers go head-to-head in a thrilling showdown akin to March Madness, with the sole objective of outpacing their opponent to advance to the next round.
Over the course of five intense weeks coinciding with TNT’s broadcast schedule of select NASCAR Cup races, drivers will battle it out at iconic tracks such as Atlanta, Sonoma, and Indianapolis, culminating in the epic finale at the Brickyard 400. The current frontrunner, Denny Hamlin, leads the pack as the No. 1 seed, while underdog Ty Dillon enters as the No. 32 seed, offering a tantalizing long-shot opportunity for daring bettors.
