Chris Buescher's weeks of treading water for most of the summer have now caught up with him as Austin Dillon's win coupled with Alex Bowman's second-place finish and Buescher's shockingly bad 30th-place finish at a track he won at a mere two years ago have combined to eliminate Buescher from the NASCAR playoffs on points. Buescher was outrun by his teammates Ryan Preece and Brad Keselowski all race and he never seemed to have much speed prior to that either. Despite sitting just inside the playoffs for months, he seemed to be more complacent and conservative this year than he was in previous years, which is never a good sign when nearly 16 drivers win prior to the playoffs each year. Since he is 60 points behind Bowman, who now sits on the playoff cutline, and second-place only pays at most 55 points, Buescher cannot advance to the playoffs unless he wins at Daytona.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
