well, well, well....here we go.
winner
it's officially shepard against fat penguin....stewart against hamlin. the good news for FP is that he avoided picking the same driver as shepard. the bad news is that steward finished 19th. going into homestead, shepard can guarantee a win with a finish of 15th or better.
what if shepard and fat penguin tie?
good question. if, for some reason, shepard and fat penguin end with the same number of points, then the tiebreaker goes to whoever had the most wins. the funny thing is, they both had 6 wins. the next tiebreaker is number of 2nd place finishes, which goes to fat penguin.
3rd place
there is no 3rd place prize. now, there are several team that DO have a shot at the 2nd place, but they would need fat penguin's most likely hamlin pick to make a sharp right turn in lap 1.
worst combined points with no DQs
barring a seizure or some freak accident, that will go to yours truly. in fact, just to be extra safe, i'm submitting a just-in-case pick right now of dale earnhardt jr. that, of course, will most likely change before sunday.
35 action
$100 on the line here, and we are in a 3-way tie among asleep at the wheel, piston pumpin, and skidmarks. will they use a little strategy in the final race to go after the extra cash? we shall see.
43 action
i've never worked so hard for 50 bucks, and i only have 1 chance left to get it. my boy timmy hill, who i've never heard of, finished 29th yesterday. meanwhile, doc beef landed an accidental 43rd place finish with his truex pick. will doc beef go after another 43rd place finish for the extra cash? eat my dust, rusty truck, and doc beef all have one 43rd place finish, but EMD has two 42nds, vs. RT's one.
bonus round
EMD has a 13 point lead with 1 to go. piston pumpin' and shepard still have a shot, but they need some help.
best of luck to everyone with action left!
