In the first weekend of October, defending champ TroyA wins his first week of the season with a 361, thanks to a lineup led by L. Jackson, Walker, Chase, Kraft, Fairbairn and the Broncos D.
SteveB rode a Monday night surge into second place with a 350, thanks to a roster featuring Conner, Hunt, Sermon, Chase, McLaurin, D. Moore, Bowers, and Tucker. SteveB edged Ravi (347) by three points.

Two owners failed to clear the Mendoza line in Week 5.
