Some of you might not be familiar with the Nascar Sprint Cup rules, so what does it mean exactly?
The maximum points still possible to fetch are 3x 48 = 144 points.
The last position to qualify for the chase without victory is P10 (atm Miguel with 700 points) and P20 (atm Brisco 480) with one or more victories. If more drivers between P11 and P20 have victories first the number of victories, 2nd the total points per driver, 3rd the better single results decide.
Already sure qualified are 7 drivers:
Martelprod (1019, 319 points more than P10 + 3 victories) => Points at start of the chase: 2009
China (1003, 303 p.s to P10 + 2 victories) => 2006
Kuku (968, 268 p.s to P10) => 2000
Airton (965, 265 p.s to P10 + 5 victories) => 2015
Suma (958, 258 p.s to P10) => 2000
Some0ne (939, 239 p.s to P10 + 9 victories) => 2027
Senegat2 (907, 207 p.s to P10) => 2000
.
One driver is in a very comfortable situation:
Razor (821) 23 points missing to secure P10 and keep the 6 bonus points for his 2 victories
From P9 Acilla (707) (+7) over P10 Miguel (700) to P11 LightningNokie (698) (-2) takes place the titanic battle for P9 and P10.
P12 VonTyr (641) (-59), P13 Jamelgo (606) (-94), P14 Hanys (598) (-102), P15 tototto (580) (-120) are also still in the race, but there are some difficult conditions for them:
Theoretically they could get in also still by the points, but that's very unlikely to happen. So "one victory" is their possible ticket into the chase.
P18 - P25 have also still theoretical chances, but it would take them at least 2 victories out of the next 3 races.
Best chances for the 1st wildcard has Shaman (566) (-134 on P10) (+86 on P20) + 2 victories, because it would take 2 double winners between P11 and P20 better placed than him to take him out. As long as he stays in the top 20 which is quite likely.
Shaman would start the chase with 2000 points, as he pays the wildcard with his 2 victories.
In pole position for the 2nd wildcard is Marian (577) (-123 P10) (+103 P20) as he has one victory, BUT it requires him to return to driving.
We will contact all qualified drivers before the chase by email to make clear that non participations should be announced by email to the admins. After 3 not explained non participations the bonus points are lost and P13 (qualification result before the chase) gets the points he would have got on P12.
Good luck to all guys still fighting for the Chase ! May the best get in !
The 70 laps of Bristol ended very close again, 22 seconds between the top 20 (!) and the drama continues. Razor is now also matematically qualified, matematically still 6 points missing to secure his bonus points.
>>NRT>> Shaman's wildcard is practically safe, »฿sяs«ΠĀгĭΛη has meanwhile a very low risk of loosing his wildcard. It would take a new winner between P11 and him or a new double winner between P16 & P20.
»฿sяs« AcillA did a small step direction to the Chase, but "+14" on P10 (and +16 on P11) with 96 points still available is far from safe in the Nascar Racing League
๓๑๏¬Miguel & VЯG LightningN0ӃiE swapped places as they did already a couple of times during the season. Now Nokie is by 2 points on the final direct qualification place.
There is nothing decided yet between these 3 guys, one hard wall can change the complete picture. What I can promise you already now is that all three of them will have two more very hot races, also AcillA won't secure his ticket next Sunday.
