If you give the 19 max pts the next 2 races(380) and the 99 min pts(68), the 19 still falls short of passing the 99 by 12 pts.!! Not to mention the 99 is -77 pts out of first. So then why is mayfield not marked as mathmatically eliminated on nascar OFF. Dr. Standings ?? can somebody explain this or am I doing something wrong.
technically he isnt mathematically eliminated yet..............everyone assumes its a given that Stewart and Johnson will start both races.......but if something happened where they couldn't they would recieve 0 points, not the bare minimum for coming in last place.
On NASCAR.com's standings they state right there...: All projected scenarios assume a driver will start all remaining races.
Even if Stewart couldn't start the last 2 races, Mayfield could not get past him in the points since he's 407 behind him. The most he could score his 380... so yes he is eliminated.
Just looked at nascar.com and truck and busch standings are up to date with the contenders. 2 racers each, why not just do the dam big boys also?? Guess they dont want to give anybody a complex!! M
