Another race that no working person gets to see; I totally forgot about it until 3 pm this afternoon! Good ol’ Jeff Gordon gets the win, pretty impressive with 85 wins, 3rd all-time. Unfortunately for Yooper Drive, it still wasn’t enough to take down #1 Buzz. Good news for Ol’ 2-Time: $30 in skins money this year.

Skin: Jeff Gordon (Yooper Drive), $5
The playoff field is shaping up; 4 teams have clinched: Buzz, GMNY Racing, Donnie Barqs, and T-Bone. Several teams are fairly close in record, and when it comes to playoff seeding and who makes it, HEAD-TO-HEAD is the first tie-breaker! KNOW THE RULES.
In the Petty Division: If Shake and Bake wins this week, they clinch. Even if they lose and either FenderBenders or Chandler Smoke win, it will go to a tiebreaker, of which the first tiebreaker is head-to-head, and Shake and Bake leads both teams in that category.
In the Earnhardt division: Buzz and GMNY Racing are tied in record and in head-to-head, but Buzz leads in points. If they both lose and either Donnie Barqs and T-Bone win, goes to tie-breaker for head-to-head. Should make for an exciting week!
I will be setting up a loser’s bracket for those who don’t make the playoffs; teams #7 and #8 will get a bye, very similar to Toilet Bowl settings in Football.
