K en has locked it up. He has 180 points over Mike going into the last 2 races. He would have to lose 90 points per race to lose it now. Congrats to Ken and his dominant performance.
M ike picks the winning driver but only gained 9 points. After picking the winner, it was still not enough to gain much on Ken. His worst driver was Dale Jr (20). Mike would have to gain 90 points per race for the last 2 just to tie. Let's all say it loud "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE"! Sorry Champ, no 4-peat.
Sheila's hot streak cooled off a bit. She has placed 4th two weeks in a row. She is now 95 points behind Mike. She needs to gain 47.5 points per race to catch him. This is possible. While she might be looking ahead, the danger is behind her with Jordan only being 10 points back. She only lost 1 point to Jordan this past week.
