Heat finishes under yellow. Harvick takes it.

 

[GA_Boater]

Final stage restart for 1 turn and Johnson Byron touch. Johnson junks his car, collects Big Bro, Hemrick, Klingerman and Menard.

Newman squeezed through, Suarez and Bowyer are OK - The final 3 left for the last playoff spot. Johnson will miss the playoffs.

With 50 laps to go and still under caution, the points situation for the final two playoff spots;

Suarez currently 5th, Newman 8th, Bowyer 15th In points they are: Suarez 654 Bowyer 653 Newman 652 Drivers separated by 3 points for the final two spots.

On the restart - Blaney around Harvick for 1st.

 

[GA_Boater]

Yellow flag for Larson spinning and smacking the inside wall. Harvick was finishing a pit stop, so it helps him. Suarez pitted and was out before the flag and was 1st car a lap down, so he gets the Lucky Dawg.

Looks like NASCAR is trying to lose the few remaining fans with the gun nonsense.

 

[GA_Boater]

On the restart Hamlin squeezed Bowman who spun into the inside wall. Another 1/2 lap restart. :facepalm:

 

[GA_Boater]

A clean restart! 20 to go for Harvick.

 

[GA_Boater]

Back to yellow for Tifft slamming the wall. 13 laps of mayhem left.

 

[GA_Boater]

Joey and Harvick battled for the restart lead until Harvick pulled ahead.

7 to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Harvick wins. Newman gets the 16th and final play off spot. Bowyer got the 15th spot. Pending inspection, of course.

It looks like justkiddin 5 wins iFL Indy. Final results on Tuesday

 

[GA_Boater]

justkiddin 5 wins the final regular season race. Congrats, JK5. :first:

Even with justkiddin 5 winning on Sunday, a late season surge and excessive rib bone flinging by FlaCowboy, givess the regular season crown to FC. Congrats, Cowboy.

But it isn't over yet! iFL has a playoff format for the Championship drive to Homestead. Pick 2 playoff drivers, 2 non-playoff drivers and a garage driver. Other than that, there are no restrictions It's the same iFL playoffs as last year.

Las Vegas will host the 1st Cup playoff race, the final X-Men regular season race and the 3rd Truck playoff race.

And Breaking News - Paul Menard is retiring from full-time Cup racing for the Wood Brothers. Matt D gets to drive for the iconic team in the #21!
