Race 3 of the Flirter Round is in the Books!! Who Got Bent Over in Dover??? 7 Teams Moving on to the Teaser Round!!!!

Man!  Sorry for giving you the don't get bent over in Dover warning, but Dover is usually brutal for some teams... and Sunday was no different.  But for 7 it was a springboard into the Teaser Round.

First, let's say goodbye to 4 teams who had outstanding years:

Spinning had the TOP PICK in New Hampshire, but BSOTW'd Chicago and Dover and fell from 3rd to 7th during the 1st Round.  This puts her out of the Chase by 2 points as Ideal who is actually running 8th gets to advance by virtue of his win in Chicago.  

Beef was strong in Chicago and had the TOP PICK in Dover, but a 2 point Harvick day in New Hampshire did him in.

Pursuit was a virtual lock to move on but DQ'd on Sunday with a no pick... with Jimmie Johnson still available... He's sick about it, and sees his solid year come to an end with that mistake.

Fast was solid all year long, but had some tough luck in all three races of the Flirter Round and find themselves out of it.  Still a very impressive rookie year!

Congratulations on a solid year guys!

Welcome to the TEASER ROUND!

A couple of things to point out on the standings above:

• RUSTY, DUST, IDEAL have been awarded 3 Bonus Points for their 1st round wins.
• Points IN/OUT of Next Round are now pointed at 5th place for the 7 teams still in it as 5th or better is what you need to move on to the Fluffer Round.
