There is no clear favorite as NASCAR's playoffs get ready to begin Sunday at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina.

Tyler Reddick came into the NASCAR race at Daytona International Speedway just one place above the cutline in the playoff standings

The 45 car failed inspection at the Kansas Speedway, while he drove through multiple pit boxes in Atlanta, leaving him at the rear of the field. Despite claiming a respectable fourth-place result at the chequered flag, Reddick was still deprived of the closures required to take wins, a task which he was easily able to fulfil 12 months ago.
