Round 2 of the Teaser in Kansas was action packed. Ideal took Race Winner Harvick and unless 4 or 5 teams pick the next race winner AND finish higher in total point than he does in the top 5... he is locked in the Fluffer Round. I'll go waaay out on a limb and say he and Chonk now hold 2 of the 5 available Fluffer spots.
So that presents us with an interesting situation. Ideal now sits in 6th with a win in this round, so he really kind of holds the 2nd spot as he is pretty much guaranteed to move on. Shepard sits in 5th from a points standings perspective, but since only 5 spots will move on to the Fluffer and Ideal who sits in 6th has a win in the Round... Shepard is really sitting in 6th. So Shepard and Graziano (7th) are the 2 teams on the outside looking in as we come to the 3rd Teaser Round race.
To make it even more interesting... that 3rd race happens to be in Talladega. I usually would be saying that Graz and Shepard must try to find a way to get a win on Sunday to move on but we're going to Talladega.
Let's assume Chonk and Ideal are a lock. That leaves Piston, Rusty, Beef, Shepard and Graziano left to fight for the last 3 available spots. 2 teams will be left out on Sunday but all 5 teams are vulnerable. 21 points separate Piston, Rusty, Beef, and Shepard and Graziano trails a qualifying spot by 30 points. If Graziano can't get a win, it's basically 4 teams fighting for 3 spots. If Graziano can somehow pick the race winner... and I think he may need to do just that... it gets even more interesting. That means that those same 4 teams will be fighting for 2 spots.
Talladega is a perfect race for some crazy shit to happen. Some will choose right and some will choose wrong this weekend for sure. I think Chonk and Ideal are loving life right about now. The rest of you lucky fools have some work to do to get into the Fluffer.
Good luck fellas!
Cheers!
