There are 6,840 different top 3 finishes.

In how many ways can the top 3 cars finish the race?

We need to count the number of options for each position.

  • For the first position there are 20 possible options (20 cars).
  • For the second position, there are 19 options (because one car is already on the first position).
  • For the third position, there are 18 options.

The number of different top 3 finishes is given by the product between the numbers of options, so we have:

20*19*18 = 6,840

There are 6,840 different top 3 finishes.
