With just one race left in the Net Posi+ive Cup Series, the championship is up for grabs between Chris Bailey, Kyle Beattie, and Mike Contarino. Each driver has a shot at the title, but the margin for error is slim, and one bad result could change everything. As the drivers gear up for the final showdown, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Chris Bailey Leads the Pack
Sitting atop the standings with 1380 points, Chris Bailey holds a narrow lead. For Bailey, the path to the championship is clear: a finish of 6th or better will secure him the title, no matter what his rivals do.
Bailey has been consistent all season, and he knows that a strong finish will seal the deal. However, with so much on the line, Bailey can’t afford any slip-ups. If he finishes 7th or worse, he opens the door for his competitors to snatch the championship away.
Kyle Beattie’s Push for Victory
Currently in second place with 1337 points, Kyle Beattie knows exactly what he needs: a win in the final race. If Beattie takes the checkered flag, he will bring his total to 1527 points, meaning Bailey must finish 7th or worse for Beattie to take the title.
Beattie has shown speed and skill throughout the season, and he’ll be looking for a perfect performance in the finale. But it’s not just about winning for Beattie—he’ll be watching Bailey’s position closely throughout the race, hoping the points leader slips up.
Mike Contarino’s Outside Shot
Mike Contarino, with 1296 points, faces the toughest road to the title. For Contarino, the situation is simple: he must win the race and hope that both Bailey and Beattie finish lower in the standings. A win would bring Contarino’s total to 1486 points, which means:
Bailey would need to finish 20th or worse.
Beattie would need to finish 7th or worse.
Contarino knows the odds are long, but in racing, anything can happen. He’ll be looking for a perfect race and hoping the pressure gets to his rivals.
