With Tuesday's announcement, the points have been shuffled. Jeremy Clements winning his appeal moves him up
to 16th from 20th in the standings, puts him back in the playoffs and takes Ryan Sieg out.
Landon Cassill is now the last driver in the playoffs in 11th. He is 19 points ahead of Sieg and 32 ahead
of Sheldon Creed.
It will make for a complete change of plans for Creed at least. He would have been 13 points behind Sieg and could have
outpointed him with a good night. Now, he'll likely need to win the race to make the playoffs.
