Carnasciale's clutch finish caps a near-perfect Comp season! But will it be enough to win him the title?!?

The Competition Eliminator championship chase might be the most compelling story in sportsman drag racing right now.

Joe Carnasciale has put together a nearly perfect season with seven wins, one runner-up, and 659 points -  a résumé that would normally have a World Championship all but locked up. But five-time and reigning World Champion Jeff Taylor still has a path.

In this NERD OUT, I'm breaking down the points, why round counts matter so much in Comp, and what Taylor needs to accomplish over the remaining National Events to potentially chase down Carnasciale.

Seven wins versus a five-time World Champion chasing number six. This one could get wild.
