Richmond Results - Chase Preview - Holy Toledo race fans!!!!

Holy Toledo race fans!!!! (A shout out to the long time legendary Houston Astros Broadcaster Milo Hamilton who passed today.)  

Richmond was the final race before the Chase and was extremely eventful... I think this is a preview to how our fight for the championship will go this year.  We had some major shuffling at the top... we had 2 teams switch places in and out of Club Ocho Primo (I am sofa king glad I will not be writing Club Ocho Primo any longer).  Let's get to it.

Shout out to 2000 Champion Dust for finishing strong with 4 top 10's plus a win this week  in Richmond to lock himself in the Chase.  Congratulations Dust!

We say goodbye to our 2012 Champion Shepard who threw his Harvick Hail Mary, but came up a little short.  He joins 2014 Champ* Chonk and 2013 Champ Rasta.

So that means our lineup is set to go for the Chase.  

• 2010 Champion Kiss finished the regular season jumping up 2 spots to 3rd, and had 6 wins.  He will start the Chase as the top seed.  
• 2-Time Champion (2005 and 2011) Skidmarks jumped up 1 spot to a tie for 1st (he and Piston will split the 1 and 2 Bonus Points) and secures the 2nd seed.
• Piston made it all the way back to the top in the final regular season race at Richmond, but with only 2 wins they will start the Chase as the 3rd seed.
• 2006 Champion Rusty falls a spot to 4th at the finish the regular season and is our 4th seed.
• Empty free falls 4 huge spots to 5th and will be our 5th seed.
• Ideal finishes in 7th, but jumps over Dust to be our 6th seed as he has 1 more win.
• 2000 Champion Dust has some nice momentum heading in the Chase and will be our 7th seed.
• Asleep climbed up 1 extremely valuable spot to take away 8th from Graziano... he is our 8th seed and grabs 11 Bonus points that he would not have had otherwise.
• Wild Card teams  will start with 1000 points... they are:  Graziano, 2004 and 2014* Champion Beef, 2007 Champion Pursuit, and Penguin. 

Congratulations to our 2015 Chasers!!!!!
