Big scores at Dover

Raise your hand if you're happy that you saved Kyle Busch for a strong run at the end of the season!! .... Gory details here.

Congrats to Team Lester for moving up to No. 1; we have five teams within 100 points of the top spot for the first time in a long time.
We had 22 teams score 300 or more points - just the fifth time this season we've accomplished that. Our average of 243 was also impressive, given that it includes eight 0s from the teams that aren't playing anymore.
CHASE
Van's continues to hold the top spot with a 20-point lead over BLOWINSMOKE and a 52-point lead over Cooter. AFTER BURNER and No right turns (with our top score from Dover, 355 points) are each within 100 points of the lead. Remember, top scores/wins result in an additional 50 points.


SINGLE ELIMINATION
Two races to go in the semifinals. Rev leads Van's by 61 and TURBO leads Rolling by 33. The race at Talladega completes that round ... watch out for the 'Big One.'


DOUBLE ELIMINATION

After the first week of the third-place matchup (loser places third, winner advances to the final), Longs Gap holds a 47-point lead over testcar. This round also ends in Alabama.


WORLD CUP
Congrats to Cooter, Team Lester, Barrie Lang and RacingAngel, who advanced to the semifinals. Cooter takes on Lester and Barrie plays Angel; the round runs through the race at Martinsville.
Angel made the the most surprising run to the Final Four. Angel won three of its last four in the Champion Qualifying group to edge and eliminate AFTER BURNER. In the bracket section, Angel was seeded 15th out of 16 teams and knocked out the No. 2 and No. 7 teams to advance to the semifinals.
HEAD TO HEAD
UPDATE: Yabos left us after Dover; didn't boot 'em, team just packed up and left. Sucks for that team, good for us. Yabos was in the top five in the Head to Head with 50-plus victories after finishing the first half in the Yahoo standings in second place. Yabos was also in the Chase and stood 15th in the overall Yahoo standings; the team had been eliminated from our other competitions already. We're down to 41 teams.
