The four drivers navigated nine playoff races to reach Phoenix. Hamlin booked his spot by winning the third-round opener at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Briscoe won the following week at Talladega Superspeedway, and Byron capped off the third round with a victory at Martinsville Speedway. Larson made the Championship 4 on points after edging JGR’s Christopher Bell by seven points.
