ONE DOWN: FAST FRIDAY PLAYOFF FIELDS INCHING CLOSER TO FINAL FOUR

SEEKONK, Mass. — With round one complete in the Sunoco Drive For The Cup at Seekonk Speedway, the playoff fields of six in each Fast Friday division have two more races before the Final Four drivers are set. 


After round one, some divisions have some surprises currently outside the cutoff.


In the Seekonk Grand Prix Bandolero Bandits, David Bernier used three bonus points from the regular season and a second-place finish in round one to show the way with eight playoff points. Luka Dib, who won the playoff opener, has six points, while Mason Silva (4) and Jase Chaber (3) are currently the other Final Four contenders as they run. With work to do, Carl Satterlund Jr (2) and Ayla Martin (1) will be looking to find their way into the Final Four over the next two weeks.
