Looks like Stroker Ace will miss his first playoffs unless he sweeps the final two races.

Hey, Rob's back up in the top 10. How the hell did that happen after this miserable season!

I went on vacation for 12 days and my drivers scored 3 wins. Maybe I need to quit meddling.
Shop rumors suggest Blue may be looking to hang it up after the season to make room for one of our young drivers to field a Truck team next year. |

2 more good races seem to have Schaplowsky in the hunt for the playoffs, but it'll take a couple top 5 finishes (at least). Still not a bad run. Word is the camp will be looking to add a driver to the Cup Series and a driver, possibly 2 drivers, to the truck series in the offseason

Race #9 of 15 - Geico 500 Results
What a mess today at Talladega. 5 cautions knocked out 22 cars from the running. A small pack of cars ran up front all day with Connor Root leading the most laps with 52. As the laps wound down everyone seemed to be on a different pit strategy and it was the #66 team of points leader Lew Sifford who had the best strategy of all as he needed one less pit stop than everyone else and ended up with an easy victory by 16.54 over Jace Hunter. I never thought I'd see something quite like this at a superspeedway. After Hunter in 2nd was Comrade Twelve in 3rd. Benton Gale and Hawk Grey rounded out the top 5.

Standings after Race #9 of 15
Only one race remains until the playoffs are set. After his win Lew Sifford has locked up his playoff spot as has Connor Root and Hawk Grey. Rob Nielsen, Helen Wheels and Chuck Long all are in a good spot and only need average runs at Iowa. The real mystery now becomes who will get the final two wild card spots. Red Neckanback sits 9th in points and if he drops out of the top 10 he will automatically get a spot with his 2 wins. Avery Thomas currently has the first wild card spot in 11th. If he gets into the top 10 and Neckanback and Jackson stay in as well that opens up a spot for Blue Neckansack or a new potential winner.

Looks like barring a massive failure at Iowa the #6 team and Dexter should be in the playoffs.

Race #10 of 15 - Mountain Dew 300 Results
It was starting to look like we wouldn't have a Duke in the playoffs for the first time. Luke Duke, however, made sure that wouldn't happen when he passed Benton Gale for the lead with 27 laps remaining and went on to take the win and get a spot in the playoffs. Gale led 102 laps and finished 2nd. Jeremy Letto came home 3rd and was followed by Hana Ginsberg and Ginny Tonic. Mike Schaplowsky led the most laps with 127 before finishing 11th.

Woo hoo! Both drivers in the playoffs. Chuck Long took his promotion seriously.
The offseason was a good one for Godzilla Motorsports.

Woof.
Tough season for the boys at Dixieland, especially for Bo as he just didn't seem to make the good runs this year. Nice to see our last race domination continue and Luke to get his first, and long overdue win. On to the playoffs!

A couple races back I thought for sure Mustafa would make the chase, and now he sits 22nd after 10. We need to make some changes again.

Race #11 of 15 - QuikTrip 500 Results
It's been a tough season for Hana Ginsberg. Only one season removed from a trip to the playoffs, Hana struggled throughout the season and missed the playoffs with a 20th place finish after the first 10 races. Today, Cyberams Racing seemed to not just get Hana's teammate David Ginsberg ready for the playoffs, but made sure the #17 car was just as strong. Hana led 109 laps on the day and David led 82 as the teammates finished 1st and 2nd with Hana winning by 8.61 seconds over David's #16 car.
In 3rd place was the Connor Root as he continues his terrific rookie season. In 4th was another playoff driver, Patrick Hutt. And in 5th was Bo Duke who put together a good finish after a frustrating season. Playoff driver, rookie Chuck Long finished 6th. In 7th was truck series driver Barrett Hays making his Cup Series debut. Deacon Palmer had a strong run with an 8th place finish with Wheely McStephens and Jeremy Letto rounding out the top 10. Rob Nielsen, looking for his 2nd title finished 11th and playoff driver Avery Thomas was 12th. Lew Sifford finished 14th. Hawk Grey 15th. Helen Wheels finished 17th as she begins her quest for a second straight title. Benton Gale was 20th, Luke Duke 31st. Red Neckanback was the final playoff driver in 33rd. |

Food City 500 Preview
The FOFC Sprint Cup Series heads to Bristol tomorrow for the Food City 500 which will be the second of five playoff races. After Atlanta, Connor Root has jumped out to an early 9 point advantage over Lew Sifford. Root has been terrific all season long. Expectations were high for the Season 1 Truck Series champion but I don't think anyone quite expected to see him fare so well so quickly. Sifford is another huge surprise. He was barely a factor in the Cup Series' first two seasons but it's obvious the #66 team took lessons from teammate Helen Wheels' Season 2 championship and applied them to their car as they look for an improbably championship run. One of the favorites for Bristol has to be Red Neckanback. Neckanback has established himself as one of the top short track drivers on the circuit with two wins this season at short tracks. It wouldn't be a surprise at all to see the #69 car in victory lane. Expect Neckanback to be strong and I would also expect to see Bo Duke up near the front despite not being in the playoffs. |

Race #12 of 15 - Food City 500 Results
A bit of a shocker today. After winning his 2nd straight Daytona 500, Comrade Twelve didn't have much to show for his season, until today. The driver of the 12 car led the race's final 60 laps to take the win over Indy Wahl, Aaron Kappe, Will Kizer and Mustafa Henderson.
The top finishing playoff driver was Red Neckanback in 6th. A lot of the playoff drivers had disappointing days, Luke Duke finished 22nd, Patrick Hutt 23rd, Connor Root finished 29th, Hawk Grey 32nd. |

Bristol bunched up the points quite a bit with 3 races left. Lew Sifford leads the points by 2 over David Ginsberg. In 3rd is Connor Root only 3 points back from the lead. Chuck Long is 4th only 6 points behind the leader. Rob Nielsen sits in 5th, 9 points back of Sifford. We have a 3-way tie for 6th between Avery Thomas, Patrick Hutt, and Helen Wheels and they are only 14 back from the leader. Benton Gale sits in 9th only 15 back of Sifford.

Chuck Long is doing well. In 2 different races. Cup champ and rookie of the year.
Disappointing race for Hawk. He needs to step it up.

The race is in, but I won't be able to get it posted until later tonight at the earliest.
But, a non-playoff driver is your winner today at Old Spice. Any guesses as to who? |

Race #14 of 15 - Hollywood Casino 400 Results
Bo Duke's #01 team finally found their old form, just a little too late to salvage his season. Bo led 176 laps on the day and picked up an easy win for the #01 team. In 2nd was rookie Connor Root who nows heads to Homestead with a great chance at winning the title.
DNF's from David Ginsberg and Helen Wheels have essentially eliminated them from title contention. Last edited by cmp : 08-05-2015 at 04:32 PM. |

Lew Sifford holds a 4 point lead over Connor Root as we head to the season finale. Rob Nielsen sits 12 points behind Sifford as he seeks his 2nd title. Benton Gale is 4th, 16 points back and still has a shot at the title as well.
