With repeat winner Sheldon Creed taking the victory on the Daytona Road Course, that still leaves five spots open in the postseason as five have been claimed by race winners.
Brett Moffitt, Ben Rhodes, Christian Eckes, Tyler Ankrum, and Todd Gilliland currently occupy the five spots on points.
There was a bit of a shake-up in the Playoff outlook following the Daytona Road Course, as Moffitt jumped from eighth to sixth as the highest-ranked driver without a win. And a 30th-place finish on the Daytona Road Course caused Derek Krause to tumble outside the top 10 to 11th. He was replaced by Tyler Ankrum in the outlook, following his sixth-place result on the Daytona Road Course.

With 12 races in the books this season, former series champion Johnny Sauter is still below the Playoff cutline after a long string of bad luck. He fell this week from 13th to 14th and is now 67 points back from the final Playoff spot. Krause dropped out of the top 10 and is now sitting in 11th with hopes of making the jump above the cutline before the postseason begins. Stewart Friesen has had a tough season, like Sauter, and is currently sitting in 15th, 87 points back from the cutline.
