Truck playoff format changed for 2020
Now instead of eight drivers qualifying for the playoffs, 10 will qualify for the playoffs beginning in the 2020 season.
Nothing about the three-round, seven-race playoff format is slated to change as far as the schedule is concerned, but eliminations will work in a slightly different manner.
The three-race round of 10 will serve as what was once the three-race round of 8. After this round, two drivers will be eliminated, thus making what was once the three-race round of 6 the three-race round of 8.From there, four drivers will be eliminated to narrow the field down to the four Championship 4 competitors ahead of the season finale, thus effectively removing the round of 6.
