NASCAR Xfinity playoff standings ahead of Charlotte elimination race

NASCAR Xfinity Brandon Jones Connor Zilisch Jesse Love Justin Allgaier Nick Sanchez Joe Gibbs Racing the Round of 8

Brandon Jones locked himself into the Round of 8 with a big win Saturday at Kansas Speedway, but he wasn't the only one who clinched a spot in the penultimate round. JR Motorsports' Connor Zilisch and Justin Allgaier have both scored enough points to clinch a spot one week early.

The battle around the cutline will be intense in next week's elimination race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL. Jesse Love is on the bubble with just five points between himself and the drop zone. There are three drivers within single-digit points of him, beginning with Nick Sanchez at -5pts, then Austin Hill at -7pts, and Harrison Burton at -8pts.
