    NASCAR Cup Series: Cook Out 400 Highlights | NASCAR on FOX \"NASCAR<\/a> <\/p>\n

    Check out the best highlights from the NASCAR Cup Series: Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway.<\/p>\n

    The top 16 drivers make the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. Here are the rest of the drivers on the outside looking in:<\/p>\n

    How do the NASCAR Playoffs work?<\/p>\n

    16 drivers advance to the NASCAR Playoffs. A win guarantees a spot in the playoffs unless there are more winners than spots available. The 16 spots go to the regular-season champion and then 15 drivers based on wins with tiebreakers by points.<\/p>\n

    Right now, there have been 14 winners and the regular-season champion will most likely be a driver who has won a race. So unless there are three new winners (or two new winners and winless Tyler Reddick<\/a> makes up a -125 point deficit to win the regular-season title), everyone with a win will get in.<\/p>\n
