The second race in the second playoff round is at Charlotte this week. The Cup and Nationwide contests are night races, Friday and Saturday. This is the last night race of the year.
Here is the weekend schedule from MRN;
JJ took a big hit in the standings after his tangle with Biffle and the tire issues also hurt Jr. and Keso on Sunday. Harvick managed to recover somewhat when he pitted out of sequence after suspecting a tire was going bad. Gordon and Kenseth are tied in the bump spot, 17 points behind. Logano has the lead and a free ride into the Eliminator round starting after 'Dega. BTW - JJ almost owns Charlotte and is the top ranked driver. If he pulls off a win, points don't matter.

- The Twerp is getting a new crew chief next year. Gibbs is shaking up team leadership and Edwards needs a complete support crew because he will be heading up a brand new fourth team for JGR.
- Sam Hornish Jr. is replacing Marcos Ambrose in the #9 at RPM. Ambrose is going back home to OZ to race again the V8 Supercar series for Penske.
- Michael Waltrip is still surviving on DWTS. He's managing to stay right above the bump spot.
cjm31 was the Kansas winner and is taking the :first: this week. 64osby had a good week, he came in second, just a few points behind cjm. And he added a mess of overall points to increase his lead over FlaCowboy, now 391 behind.
