5:15 p.m. Ok. This one is simple. Whoever wins the race wins the Championship. Simple right? It wasn't so simple getting here, but as the Champ would say...Bottom line! Ellis was chopped meat right on the starting line. He was way to careful not to redlight and wound up being late. Congratulations to both Rickie and Matt Smith for this Championship.
