11. Austin Dillon – 2,005 points

Austin Dillon may be this year’s Daytona 500 champion, but that’s basically all he’s got on his resume this year going into the playoffs. Dillon wasn’t even in the top 16 in regular-season points and only made the playoffs by virtue of his victory. He’s had some speed, but has few results to show for it. The third-generation driver is one who appears to be at great risk of being eliminated early.
