Jill & Dave on “Shibumi” clinched the B playoffs last week. Cindy “Clutch” Strickland has the A trophy pretty much locked up. There is a chance this could end in a tie with Charlie “In the Fast” Lane, but only if all 3 conditions below are met:
- Tony Stewart wins the race or finishes in the top 5 behind the 48 and 24 (in that order)
- Matt Kenseth finishes outside the top 15
- The 48, 17, and 24 are not in that order.
Anybody want to lay odds?
JJ makes it 4 in a row (and 6 of the last 11) with (yawn) another win this week. Get the details at NASCAR.com

Max points for Jill & Dave on “Shibumi” means the B trophy is all but sewn up. The A trophy on the other hand, is hotly contested. The top 3 are all within 25 points of each other, with 2 races to go. Can “Clutch” Strickland hold on? Will “In the fast” Lane take the trophy home a 3rd time? Is “QoS” too far behind to catch Clutch? Is there a dark horse back in the pack who will “snatch victory from the jaws of defeat”! It won’t be me (Bryan “Spacebar” Spahr)… I’ve been “mathematically eliminated” :(
On a happier note – that was the best 5 laps I’ve watched in a long time. Matt “Robot” Kenseth was a gnat’s hair away from caving in JJ’s quarter panel and sending them both “Yard Sale” down the backstretch. (You know, a yard sale – where you put all your junk from the deepest innards of your house all over your front lawn…). But Robot held on to it and JJ only wet his pants a little, then went on to win by a country mile. Read more glowing praise for MK and JJ at NASCAR.com

Three players, Sonya QOS Spahr (65 max points), Cindy “Clutch” Strickland (55 points) and Jill and Dave “Shibumi” (55 points) had all three of their drivers in the top five … and picked up BIG points.
Jake “JBA all the way” Altizer just might go “ALL THE WAY.” He has 110 total points after 2 races.
