Two weeks ago at IRP Ty Majeski continued his impressive season on Short tracks this year as he won his way into the Truck Series Playoffs Road of 8. This was only the first race of the Round of 10, but there are some ways that drivers and owners can clinched a spot into the next round without winning. Below are the scenarios in which no matter what happens in the race Sunday, if the scenario happens then the ticket is punched to the playoffs. Likely the drivers will not need this much, but this is the maximum that needs to be done to clinch. However in the instance where a driver needs more or less than another, that is what needs to be done (or better) no exceptions.
