The Full Throttle Cup Series makes its return to Martinsville Speedway for the Chase cutoff race this Monday. This race marks the end of the regular season (first 16 races of 24).
Burnout ended up clinching the regular season points lead a week early with a victory at Michigan. Dore will not be able to drop enough points to surpass Burnout at Martinsville so he will most likely end up 2nd with Delux in 3rd. As for Szymek, a podium will not be possible so his mission will be to score a win to gain himself a bonus point entering the Chase.
As for the fifth and now final spot in the Chase, Simms will enter if he wins or if Jordan or Tom fail to score a victory. One thing to note is how strong Crash, a relative newcomer, ran in the Spring event, 2nd place. This may be some hope to Jordan and Tom to know that a win may be possible if they try hard and focus.
Due to Burnout locking the regular season points lead, he will be a backup pace car in the race should Shyguy miss the event.
