Clinching Scenarios: Truck Series – Bristol

Last month we got to see Layne Riggs play spoiler in the Truck Series as he won the race as a non-playoff driver. Now we head to Bristol where we could see someone clinch their spot in the Round of 8 based on points. Below are the scenarios in which no matter what happens in the race Thursday, if the scenario happens then the ticket is punched to the Round of 8. The only thing that can make a scenario change is if the finishing order changes the tie breaker, but still that only changes some scenarios by 1 point.
P.s. Obviously if a driver wins the race then they are in the next round, but that’s a boring and simple scenario to figure out, so only must win scenarios are mentioned.

*Does not include winning driver/owner scenario
