Talladega Results - On to the Fluffer!!!!!

Hey guys.  I wanted to post the official standings for the last race of the Teaser Round...  I'll do an official update later in the week, but Congrats to Kiss, Skid, Graz, Rusty, and Beef on making it on through to the Fluffer Round!  It was a good run for Ideal and Piston, but we have to say adios to those guys.  Talk to you later in the week.  Cheers!

Notice a change in the points as Skid gets an additional 3 points to start the Fluffer Round for his win in the Teaser Round.

The Field:

So Kiss has been a frontrunner for the entire Chase thus far with Skidmarks right on his heels.  Both teams and Rusty qualified for the Chase on points and wins, while Graz and Beef made it in on wins alone and have clawed their way up the ladder to be sitting in the Fluffer Round with a real chance to take home this Championship.  

If no one gets a win, Rusty and Beef will need some serious Poo Poo flying in the sheets from the top 3 teams.  A win and you advance*  

Who will move on???  I guess we'll see over the next 2 races.  Congratulations to all 5 of you once again and the best of luck in the Fluffer!

Cheers!

Other Ramblings:

Martinsville on Sunday!

Only 2 races in this round fellas.  Points will be reset to 2000 for the 3 lucky bastards er I mean teams that make it on through + 3 points for any wins over the next 2 races.  

Rules Refresher:

           The NFCL Chase is a four round format starting at Chicagoland (race 27) and continuing through Homestead (race 36)

·        A win in any round automatically advances that team to the next round (in theory)

·        Wins result in 3 bonus points added to that team’s total to start the next round during the Chase (if that     team qualifies for the next round)

·        Only seven teams will advance after the first round

·        Two teams will be eliminated after the second round

·        Two teams will be eliminated after the third round

·        Only three teams will enter the fourth and final round for the NASCAR Fantassy Cup

       

            Third round (races 33 & 34) - “The Fluffer”

•       The top three teams based on points accumulated during races 27-34 will advance to the final round
•       Wins automatically advance teams; same format for balance of filling in the teams and tiebreakers applies

TieBreaker Scenarios:

§  The first tiebreaker is number of wins in the current round

§  Second tiebreaker is number of wins during the entire Chase

§  Third tiebreaker is number of wins during the regular season

§  Fourth tiebreaker is number of points during the regular season

§  Fifth tiebreaker is whoever got their first win first

Talladega Drivers!!! Here We Go!!!!!!

Kansas Results - 2 Races Down and 1 Teaser Race to Go!!!!

Hola Amigos!  I just got back from a 6 day stay in Vegas... mother %&$#er.  Good thing it was for work, so I had responsibilities.  I just need to find someone to help me get a tattoo removed and I think I may have married a chicken... good times.

Enough about that... let's talk about Kansas.  The standings are tightening up, but only 2 teams swapped positions this week.  Skidmarks is still the only team locked* into the Fluffer Round.  Kiss is still at the front of the pack choosing Truex Jr. (15th).  2nd place car Skid has a solid week taking 9th place Keselowski.  3rd place Graziano and 4th place Rusty had the top pick this week of Hamlin (2nd).  Beef jumps up a spot to 5th with his 3rd place Johnson pick, while Piston drops a spot to 6th with their 17th place Biffle pick.  Ideal has a good week taking Edwards (8th), but he remains in 7th and at the back of the pack.

So where are we????   Other than Skid and his win, every team is at risk in Talladega.  Well... Kiss is in pretty good shape as well... he just needs to remember to submit a pick for Sunday's race.  Technically everyone else is in danger of not moving on...  Remember wins automatically advance the team to the next round granted 5 other teams don't get wins, so just being in the top 5 may not be enough.  14 points separate 5th through 7th, so no one is safe... plus there's a little unpredictable race called Talladega waiting for us in a couple of days.  Looking ahead to the Fluffer Round... the points still accumulate, so you still have to keep that in mind as you make your picks this week.  But 1st things 1st, you need to be one of the top 5 teams at the end of Sunday's race.  Good luck fellas... I can't wait to see it all play out.

Cheers!

Charlotte Results - Race 1 of the Flirter was an Eventful One - Skidmarks Gets a HUGE WIN!!!!!!

Results Summary:

The heat is definitely on Race Fans!  Charlotte had a little of everything... Skid (up a spot to 2nd ) chose Logano who gets the win and locks himself into the Fluffer Round.*  

*If all 7 teams get wins he would have to finish in the top 5 and win any necessary tie breakers. 

Ideal chose Kenseth who BSOTW'd for him.  Ideal drops 5 spots to 7th.  Our leader Kiss chose Edwards who brought it home in 6th.  3rd Place Graziano took Edwards as well which was good for a 2 spot jump.  Rusty jumps up 2 spots to 4th with his 4th place Hamlin pick.  Piston (5th) and Beef (6th) DOOTW'd with their 20th place Kyle Busch pick.  

Other Ramblings:

Kansas this week with Talladega looming to close out the Flirter Round.  

Skidmarks is pretty much locked in barring a miracle and Kiss is guaranteed top 5 for at least the next race.  The rest of the spots are up for grabs.  20 points separate 3rd - 6th.  7th is only 17 points away from 5th... the point is you guys need to keep digging.  A win and you're pretty much in... even if you are outside the top 5 in points.  

Decisions, Decisions... I wish I were battling with you guys right now.

Good Luck in Kansas this week!

Cheers!
