Top of Texas Racing post a season-best 387, its second win of the season, to highlight an up-and-down week for RMFN at Talladega. The overall score dipped to 278 but still well ahead of how we ran during the first three races of the season.
Two former RMFN champs and competition contenders, Yduck and Buford's Boyz, dropped out. We hope to have them back for the 2012 season.
CHASE
38 teams are currently eligible for the Chase. Top of Texas' second win propelled it from the bubble zone to the top 10. Much like the real format, wins matter.
WORLD CUP
We have two rounds remaining in the Track Qualifying phase. With the recent departures, two groups will be significantly impacted.
Yduck was leading its group and Buford's was in second in its group. Since they dropped out, only the records of the remaining group members will be counted in the final standings; we will count prior games vs. Yduck and Buford.
Little Deuce Coupe leads all teams with a perfect 6-0 record.
I also moved up the World Cup Seeds page in the document below - scroll down to see preliminary group pairings if the Champion Qualifying phase started today.
DOUBLE ELIM BRACKET
Yduck and Buford's were assigned 48th-place finishes, despite competing in the winners' bracket.
Rolling Thunder recorded the closest victory in the winners' bracket, beating Tony is The Man by just 9 points.
DOUBLE ELIM HEAT
The departure of Yduck and Buford's allowed two more teams from the losers' heat to advance to the third round - the beneficiaries were Arthur Racing and GOOD TO GO.
In the winners' heat, Swindell Motorsports took the final spot by just 1 point over BLOWINSMOKE (which continues in the losers' heat).
HEAD TO HEAD
RMO Lug Nutz and napolean continue to lead; JoRo's Rockets moved up to third.
SINGLE ELIM BRACKET/HEAT
It's still early in the second round, with four of the six races to go.
SICK PUPS (via Buford's exit) will advance in the bracket; and Yduck and Buford's shared 32nd place in the heat.
