UPCOMING DROP RACES:
Burnout - Charlotte (19 pts) & Talladega (22 pts)
Szymek - New Hampshire (15 pts) & Charlotte (15 pts)
Dore - Talladega (16 pts) & New Hampshire (23 pts)
Szymek has a 10-point deficit on Burnout but has the most to gain in the two drop races ahead. His three wins to Burnout's two during the playoffs is keeping him well within striking distance of the points lead with the ability to really capitalize on gaining big points back. If Szymek wins both races, he's the champion regardless of bonus points and how Burnout and Dore do.
Dore has a 14-point deficit and most likely needs to win both of the upcoming races to win the championship due to the value of his drop races. However, it isn't quite that easy, as his ability to win the title will depend on how well Burnout gains back points from his dropped races.
