With two races remaining in the Cup season, it appears that any player outside of, say, the Top Ten in the leader board has been mathematically eliminated from any chance of winning the game's championship.

Among those that remain in contention, there are several pick combinations left in each player's stable of drivers.

Current leader @kkfan91 has only Ross Chastain left to go along with a "C Group" driver while both @LewTheShoe, @JJ_14, and @Magicmiler each have two "A Group" drivers to chose from.

Also in contention are @Mr. E, @Conover, and @hmmm298 as each of them have an "A Group" driver remaining but, like @kkfan, will have to reach into the "C Group" for one of the last two races.

Interestingly, four of the players mentioned still have William Byron left.

Meanwhile, a local band is busy practicing in anticipation of the season ending Awards Banquet.

From the Official Game Rules:

15 - After the 36th and final points paying race, the game's championship will be awarded to the player with the fewest total points, that is, the player whose driver picks over the course of the season had the best average finishing position.

16 - In the event of a points tie among two or more players atop the leader board at season's end, the game's championship will be awarded to the player (among those players) that had the most first place picks.

17 - In the event of a points tie, and a tie for most first place picks, among two or more players atop the leader board at season's end, the game's championship will be awarded to the player (among those players) that had the most top five picks.

18 - In the event of a points tie, and a tie for most first place picks and top five picks, among two or more players atop the leader board at season's end, the game's championship will be awarded to the player (among those players) that had the most top ten picks.

We’re gonna be the highest scoring finisher to have not had a 1st place pick!

Stenhouse is very unpredictable, I wouldn't count him out. He's pretty solid at Martinsville.

Interesting to look at really shows how limiting bad days is very important when it comes to total score.

Since there are only 2 races remaining and about 36-37 cars per race, it appears that only the top 8 is still mathematically in the championship hunt.

But see, you’re assuming @kkfan91 doesn’t try to bend the rules a bit and get penalized and docked 20 championship points.
