This week is Daytona where wild things can happen, and even with 3 races left until the Xfinity Series playoffs this includes a driver clinching a playoff spot based on points. Below are the scenarios in which no matter what happens in the race Friday, if the scenario happens then the ticket is punched to the playoffs. Likely the drivers will not need this much, but this is the maximum that needs to be done to clinch. However in the instance where a driver needs more or less than another, that is what needs to be done (or better) no exceptions.
