DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — NASCAR’s regular season finished with a pair of surprises in winless drivers Harrison Burton and Chase Briscoe pulling off unexpected victories at Daytona and Darlington. Don’t look for more stunners when the playoffs start next week and NASCAR’s power programs, Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing and Team Penske, dominate the grid with 11 of the 16 drivers who will chase the championship next Sunday in Atlanta. Throw in Burton and owner Wood Brothers’ connection with Penske, and 75% of the field has blue-blood connections to research, equipment and advanced technology that give their racers most everything they need to succeed. “I mean, the way I look at it is we got nothing to lose, right?” Briscoe said after his dramatic, late, three-wide pass to win the Southern 500. “If you can win at Darlington, you can win anywhere on the schedule.”
