Richmond - Chase field grows to 15

Gory details are here.



CHASE
Van's Bums had just its third sub-200-point week, and as a result, 15 teams will make the Chase instead of just 12. No right turns, yduck and AFTER BURNER joined last week's top 12. The cutoff ended up at 6,857 - sorry AERO PUSH; you missed the playoffs by just seven points.
Reminder on the Chase standings: 50 points for each 'win' during the season (top score of the week) and the places were also staggered in 5-point increments from places 1-15 and again for 16-50.
As a result, BLOWINSMOKE starts the Chase in second place despite qualifying as the No. 13 team. It pays to win.



HOT/COLD
KLA Sadler, No right turns, Barrie Lang, Cooter, need4speed, AFTER BURNER, and Chevy's Redneck have posted back-to-back 300-plus-point races.
The consecutive sub-200 club features our now regular no-shows.



SINGLE ELIMINATION
Halfway through the semifinals.
No one had a breakout week at Richmond and both matchups are close, considering there are three races left in the round.



DOUBLE ELIMINATION
With one race to go in the Eighth Round, Yabos and testcar are tied and RacingAngel holds a 34-point lead over Longs Gap. Both are loser-out matchups. As a result, New Hampshire is a little more interesting. The winners meet in the Ninth Round; Van's Bums is waiting for the last one standing in the championship.



WORLD CUP
Halfway through the quarterfinals in the Chase bracket. Cooter and Barrie Lang have opened up good leads with two races to go.



HEAD TO HEAD
Team Lester increased its lead to 3 games with a 4-0 run at Richmond. Rubbins Racin, TURBO and Yabos took over second place after speedracer went 0-4 at Richmond and dropped to fifth. One of Lester's two matchups this week is with No. 8 KLA Sadler.
