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.
