Too Afraid to Ask

The “cut line” is the points number you have to be above to keep your playoff hopes alive. If you’re near it, one bad race can knock you out.

The “cut line” is the points threshold that determines which drivers advance to the next stage of the season (the playoffs/championship contention). Drivers near it can either make it with a strong finish or miss it with a poor one.
