DOUBLE ELIM/BRACKET
In the winners' bracket, our two overall leaders (BLOWINSMOKE and Turn Right Once In Awhile) face big deficits entering the final race of the sixth round. After four eliminations in the losers' bracket next week, we'll be down to eight teams in this competition.


DOUBLE ELIM/HEAT
In the winners' heat, BLOWIN and Turn Right would drop to the losers' heat and Damn Sunday and #3 Dale would advance and earn a top-8 finish. In the losers' heat (reminder: one race to go in the round), OVERALL contenders Bassman and Rolling are on the verge of elimination.


CHASE
16 drivers would qualify for the Chase if the regular season ended today. That number should shrink over the next five weeks.


SINGLE ELIM/BRACKET
All four quarterfinal matchups are separated by less than 50 points after two of six races in the round.


SINGLE ELIM/HEAT
Similar deal with the timeframe of this round, but it's a tad more interesting. If it ended today, BLOWIN, Turn Right and 3 Virgins (also among the OVERALL contenders) would be eliminated.
