4 Racers are down 2 games in their Best 3 out of 5 Matchups, and are facing ELIMINATION in Race #3 (and the next 3 races overall if they survive that long):
* #24 Jeff Gordon - #24 has 2 big blowout style losses to #33 Clint Bowyer. A 22 point loss and a 12 point loss show that #24 hasn't even been competitive yet against #33. Can #24 turn it around in Race #3 and get a Win? Or is it Season Over?
* #99 Carl Edwards - #99 had victory in his sights the first 2 races, and both times failed at the very end, and picked up the disappointing narrow loss instead. Can #99 finally find Victory in Race #3? Or does #16 Biffle score the Sweep instead?
* #9 Kasey Kahne - #9 wrecks or has disaster happen at some point in the race, and ends his competitive day. #18 has had 2 14th place finishes, and both were good enough for the win. Can #9 bounce back? Or is #18 advancing?
* #39 Ryan Newman - #39 is another one who wrecks at some point during the race, and ends his competitive day. Can #39 get out of his wrecking slump? Or does another wreck with a Loss await #39 at Race #3? #11 Hamlin will take a victory any way it happens, as he too had a bad Race #2, but his disaster happened after #39. Who Wins Race #3? #39? or #11?
