The Round of 16 will finish up with a wild card in the Charlotte Roval. 12 drivers will move on in the playoffs to the next 3-race round, but only 3 of those spots have been clinched entering the weekend - Round of 16 race winners Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski, along with Martin Truex Jr.

Kevin Harvick enters in good shape - he needs to just start Sunday to clinch his spot in the next round. A win gets any of the Round of 16 drivers into the next round, but other than victory, few of the drivers have a finish that will guarantee them a spot in the next round. (SOURCE - NASCAR release)
