Martinsville Results - Gordon Wins for Skid and Rusty!!!

Race 1 of 2 of the Fluffer Round is in the books and 2 teams are sleeping more sound than the other 3.  Man it was good to see Gordon get that win!  You just knew some crazy sh*t was going to go down, but it was still shocking the way it all played out.  Logano was going to win this race for sure right?  He's been so strong during the Chase that you just know his title hopes are not done.  Gifting Gordon a win and a shot to win it all in his last season before moving to the announcer booth... to me was just a Bonus.  I understand what Kenseth did and why, but it's still a dick move.  No one should be more pissed at Kenseth than Graz... but we'll get to that... Now.

Skid and Rusty took race winner Jeff Gordon.  Skid is locked into the Finisher Round which starts in Phoenix after this week's Texas Race.  Rusty is in great shape to move on, but it is not guaranteed.  They will get at least 3 Bonus Points to start the Finisher if/when they move on.

Kiss and Beef took 2nd place car Jamie McMurray.  Kiss drops to 2nd and has a 40 point cushion on 4th place.  Beef is tied for 4th and will need a win most likely if he has any chance to move on and defend his title*.  

Graz shit the bed with his collateral damage car of Kurt Busch getting caught up in the Kenseth Logano love saga... sorry Graz.  Looks like he'll also need a win and some help to move on.

So... some rough, random thoughts on where everyone stands: (May or may not be all encompassing)

Skid is in.

Rusty is in*

• if 2 of the 3 winless teams Kiss, Graz, Beef do not get wins OR
• if Graz or Beef win and do not gain 25 points on Rusty

Kiss is in*

• if he wins in Texas OR
• if he doesn't win in Texas AND if Graz or Beef do not get a win AND he doesn't lose 40 points to either Graz or Beef.   

Beef and Graz are out UNLESS

• They Win and Kiss doesn't OR
• They win, Kiss wins AND they crack the top 3 in points (Rusty would have to BSOTW in this scenario) 
• if they gain 40 points on Kiss (They get a top 5 and Kiss shits the bed in this scenario)

Tiebreaker scenarios may come into play if some of the above scenarios play out...

I guess what I'm trying to say is there is a chance for everyone left to make it in, but Graz and Beef need some magic to happen.

 I can't wait to see it all play out.  Are we going to see some crazy sh*t?  Beef and Graz will be trying to slam Kiss into the wall I am thinking...

Good luck in Texas! 

Cheers!
