2003 ShopRite Series Season (Modern NASCAR Playoffs)

This is the unofficial 2003 ShopRite Series Standings if it had the current NASCAR playoff format. We had 13 different winners (signups that were replacements too) that raced full-time but if this was official, Robby Gordon would have declined his waiver and 12 spots would be clinched. The four that would make it in on points would be Zhong Xina, Rob Rodie, Gavin Grogu, and Asher Byron. Byron would get his first 2 wins during the playoffs, Grogu got his first win after he was eliminated in the RO16, while Xina and Rodie didn't win. In fact, no rookies won this season. Had this been the official season, Xina would have won the championship.
==Rules==
While we are doing the modern playoff format, we are not doing the modern point system. We are still using the point system used in the 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Season. The win and you're in system is in play, and so is the elimination, just the points will have bigger gaps.
