The finale for the short lived 2019 Potluck is nothing short of spectacular with a run up to the very last race and a standings finish that is one of the closest ever in Tnadz Racing.

Race 1:
Trying to follow everything that happened for 40 laps with a no damage race would take far too much time. Instead, we'll look at the play of the race. Zolecki, who had a great start and had been leading for a while, ended up getting knocked down the order after a bad time. Then, with only a couple laps left, Smith was on pace to potentially grab a podium when Jamie blasted him at the intersection, sending him down to 6th.
Race 2:
Ross managed to avoid most of the carnage in the second run with moderate damage on for the win. It was not without its close calls though as The Egg and Sandy stayed afloat for a good part of the race for a decent finish outside the top 10.
Race 3:
A slow start may have either kept Slab from a win or gifted him a 2nd, just depends on how you look at it. But after spinning through the intersection on lap 1, he recovered and didn't get nailed on the track anywhere.
The only other surviving human, Smith, was fighting for a Championship win and needed to finish 4th after his Race 1 setback and harassment from The Egg. While in 5th, he caught Coral with one to go and ran him into the wall.
But the 77 wasn't dead. But he was damaged and went for the pits. Tnadz would have had to pass him by the start finish line to claim the spot but missed out by a second. And that second caused him to place second in the points by...a...single...point. What an ending.
The next series will go to the more civilized and cultivated world of road courses. It's The Shorties: Roadcourse Edition.
