NASCAR acknowledged it's contemplating a playoff-type system similar to the Chase for the ultra-competitive Truck tour.
One scenario that's been discussed would feature eight contenders in a seven-race elimination where two drivers are knocked out after each three-race segment with the four teams battling for the title at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Twenty-one points currently separate third-place Tyler Reddick from series points leader Erik Jones in the truck standings. Defending truck champion Matt Crafton trails Jones by 17 points as he attempts to become the first driver to win three consecutive titles.
This season the truck series has enjoyed 13 different winners in the first 21 events. The proposed seven-race Chase would occupy roughly 30 percent of the schedule - a greater portion than the Chase for the Sprint Cup consumes (27.78 percent).
