Brad Keselowski says he needs “a miracle” at Daytona International Speedway to make the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. Multiple outlets report that he is among several drivers chasing the final postseason spots going into the regular-season finale at the 400-mile Daytona race.
The contention is for the last three positions in NASCAR’s playoff field for the “Chase” stage. Along with Keselowski, Christopher Bell Preece and others are discussed as competing for those remaining berths, with Bubba Wallace, Austin Cindric and Shane van Gisbergen also named as drivers still in contention.
Coverage frames the situation as a points-and-results race where a strong finish at Daytona is required to secure a place in the playoffs. While outlets differ slightly in emphasis—some focusing on Keselowski’s remarks and urgency, others outlining the list of contenders and the playoff math—they consistently describe a tightly grouped fight for the final spots during Daytona’s closing event of the regular season.
