A little while back, just after the @NASCAR playoff field was set, I made some predictions on who would advance round-by-round, all the way to the finale at @HomesteadMiami Speedway. Here's how the first portion of it panned out vs. what I predicted: #NASCARPlayoffs

My prediction for those who would be OUT after the first round were the 6, 10, 14, and one of the two Hendrick Motorsports cars other than the #9 car. #NASCARPlayoffs

Well, I got half of that right, because the 6 and 10 cars WERE among the four KOd in the first round, but the others KOd in the first round were the 1 and 20 cars (the 20 was certainly hurt by what happened after the race at Richmond, when he was DQ'd). #NASCARPlayoffs

So now, here are the twelve left after the first round of the #NASCARPlayoffs:

2-Keselowski
4-Harvick
9-Elliott
11-Hamlin
12-Blaney
14-Bowyer
18-Ky. Busch
19-Truex
22-Logano
24-Byron
42-Larson
88-Bowman

Here's my latest forecast on who advances round-by-round and who I think makes the final race at @HomesteadMiami Speedway:

KOd in the Round of 12: 12, 14, 24, 88
KOd in the Round of 8: 2, 9, 19, 42
Making the Finale: 4, 11, 18, 22

ELIMINATED: 1, 6, 10, 20

@HomesteadMiami And yes, I will update this again in another small thread once the final 8 are set after three more races. #NASCARPlayoffs
