This weekend marks the end of the regular season for the three national series. Kevin Harvick has already clinched the regular season Cup championship. Playoff drivers are pretty much solid except for those near the cut lines. Tonight the X-List playoff driver will be finalized, tomorrow Cup and Sunday Trucks.
The WAWA X-Race is a rescheduled by corona race. For the curious among you, WAWA is convenience store chain on the East coast with an almost cult-like following in the Hoagie Wars. In his younger days, Humpty sampled WAWA hoagies. His remembrance is they are filling and didn't sicken him, so a cut above gas station sushi. He's taking cover from WAWA hoagie fans.
eep: The Cup Coke 400 is the rescheduled 4th Of July race and I have no idea about the Truck race in St. Louis race.
Tonight and tomorrow at Daytona have the chance of pop-up showers and St. Louis should be clear weather-wise. The MRN schedules;

News and Notes
- Who's in, who's out and who could get in the playoffs - Check out the Cup scenarios on Nascar.com
- Rumor - Michael Jordon buying a stake in Richard Petty Motorsports has been denied. :noidea:
- Daytona will have some fans in the stands.
- Dover penalties - Just a bunch of nuts.
- Cole Custer tested the Next Gen at Dover. He said the switch to rack and pinion steering was the big difference from today's car.
- Michael Waltrip has launched a beer brand named "Two Time". OK?
- TV ratings;
- Dover on Saturday - 1.1 and 1.77 million, the smallest Cup Series audience at Dover since 2001.
- Dover on Sunday - 1.2 rating and 1.95 million viewers on NBCSN, up a tick in ratings and 7% in viewership from last year when the race aired opposite NFL games. This year’s race overlapped for an hour with the competing Indy 500 on NBC (2.3, 3.66M).

- Two races, two winners;
- Dover 1 was won by FlaCowboy. Congrats, Cowboy. This is his 5th :first:.
- Dover 2 was won by Humpty's buddy. Also a 5th win this year.
- Overall standings - We have a tie with one race to go in the regular season. Unfortunately it's for 2nd place as FlaCowboy is leading by 90 points. Now if all of Cowboy's drivers loose all 4 tires on the pace laps, anybody can win the regular season championship.
- iFL rosters lock at 7:25 EST tomorrow evening.
Good luck and stay safe;
