The regular season finale is upon us in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. 15 players still have a mathematical chance to be the Regular Season Champion. 10 players are going into this weekend knowing they will be in this year's playoff. 6 more will find out when the checkered flag flies. 14 players are currently in with a win, meaning only 2 players are able to get in by points where several players are in a tight battle for. However, there is always the possibility of a new winner and we can never forget those still chasing to get into the Top-30 in points. There's a lot to look out for this week, the entire season has come down to this point. After the race, the Top-10 in regular season points will also be given more playoff points to add to their total. By this time next week, we will know which 16 players will be battling for the championship in the following 10 weeks.
PLEASE NOTE: Whether or not you make the playoff, it is expected that you still participate! Non-playoff players can still affect how the players advance through the playoff, Stage points, Top-10 points at the finish, and stealing chances for playoff points from the playoff players will add drama and suspense to the league. And of course, if a non-playoff player wins the race, then no playoff competitor will be able to lock themselves into the next round from that race. No matter where you are in the championship standings, your participation is important!

ANNOUNCEMENT - Watch for Duplicate Names
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also please be aware that while this is not a new rule, I am going to start enforcing it now and through the rest of the season and beyond. I will not be playing guessing games and will require you to specify driver picks that may be confused with another driver. If I cannot tell which driver you are selecting, I will not count that driver in your prediction. Each week I will post the driver names that may be of issue, so that way you won't be caught off guard.

PLEASE NOTE: Whether or not you make the playoff, it is expected that you still participate! Non-playoff players can still affect how the players advance through the playoff, Stage points, Top-10 points at the finish, and stealing chances for playoff points from the playoff players will add drama and suspense to the league. And of course, if a non-playoff player wins the race, then no playoff competitor will be able to lock themselves into the next round from that race. No matter where you are in the championship standings, your participation is important!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNOUNCEMENT - Watch for Duplicate Names
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also please be aware that while this is not a new rule, I am going to start enforcing it now and through the rest of the season and beyond. I will not be playing guessing games and will require you to specify driver picks that may be confused with another driver. If I cannot tell which driver you are selecting, I will not count that driver in your prediction. Each week I will post the driver names that may be of issue, so that way you won't be caught off guard.
