NASCAR is set to launch an in-season tournament called the In-Season Challenge, starting with the Quaker State 400. This new format resembles tournaments in other sports and features a single-elimination bracket created from race results across a three-race stretch. Thirty-two drivers have qualified and will compete in head-to-head matchups for a grand prize of $1 million. William Byron, despite a low seed, emerges as a key contender due to his consistent performance and favorable matchups, raising interest around the tournament's dynamics and implications for the regular season.
Starting at next weekend's Quaker State 400 in Atlanta, the NASCAR Cup Series will be launching its own in-season tournament to spice up the regular-season schedule.
Seeding for the inaugural In-Season Challenge came from a three-race stretch, using a mix of highest finishes and points earned, creating a single-elimination bracket.
