The Professor Clutch Werx Pro Cup Series championship is on the line as the top three contenders—Damian Jenks, Dustin Dunn, and Eric Yost—prepare for the season’s final race. Each driver has a clear path to the title, but the pressure will be on in this thrilling conclusion to the season. Here’s how the championship battle breaks down.
Damian Jenks Holds the Edge
Damian Jenks comes into the final race with 1279 points, holding a 21-point lead over Dustin Dunn and a 55-point lead over Eric Yost. For Jenks, the championship is within reach—he simply needs to finish 2nd or better to guarantee the title, no matter what happens behind him.
Jenks has displayed consistency and skill all season, but the stakes couldn’t be higher in the final race. A finish outside the top two could open the door for his rivals to steal the championship.
Dustin Dunn in Hot Pursuit
With 1258 points, Dustin Dunn knows what he needs to do to take the championship: win the race. If Dunn wins, he will move to 1448 points, meaning Jenks must finish 3rd or worse for Dunn to win the title.
Dunn has been a fierce competitor all season, and he’ll be focused on taking the checkered flag. But even if he wins, he’ll still be watching where Jenks finishes to see if he can snatch the championship away.
Eric Yost’s Long Shot
In third place with 1224 points, Eric Yost needs a near-perfect outcome to claim the title. Yost must win the final race to reach 1414 points, but that’s just the beginning. For Yost to win the championship:
Jenks must finish 10th or worse, and
Dunn must finish 5th or worse.
While the odds may be stacked against Yost, he’s shown he can compete with the best, and if things fall his way, he could pull off a shock victory to take the title.
Championship Scenarios
If Damian Jenks finishes 2nd or better: The championship is his, no matter where the others finish.
If Dustin Dunn wins: Jenks must finish 3rd or worse for Dunn to win the title.
If Eric Yost wins: Jenks must finish 10th or worse, and Dunn must finish 5th or worse for Yost to claim the championship.
