Joey Logano is in serious danger of failing to defend his NASCAR Cup Series championship, for the fourth time in four defences.

The reigning champ needed some last lap shenanigans to sneak past Ross Chastain and into the Round of 8, but got exactly what he needed in a dramatic race at the Charlotte Roval.

Both of 23XI Racing's cars were eliminated despite Tyler Reddick's pole position start, with neither ever seriously threatening Logano's place in the next round.

Logano survived purely by the grace of Chastain's pit road mistakes, as well as Denny Hamlin's crew omitting to tell him that he could eliminate the reigning champion by simply holding position on track, but is on the outside looking in once again now.

With all of that said, let's take a look at the latest playoff standings below.
