Team Stancil Makes Late Season Push

Team Stancil swept the RFC this week to earn themselves two event wins jumping from 6th to 3rd in the event standings. They also managed to gain over 230 points on Team Burns and now sits only 400 points out of second place. Team Stancil and Team Case also managed to once again dominate PBR by placing 7th and 8th nationally, and are well on their way to being PBR commentators.

Home Stretch

Sorry, although I have been updating the standings I guess I haven't posted anything recently.... anyways here is where we stand. We have 17 weeks left before the end of the RFC 2008 season. There is still plenty of time to try and make a run for the lead. As of right now the event points leaders are as follows:

NASCAR: Hames
BASS: Kenny
PBR: Kenny
NHRA: Kenny

OVERALL: Kenny

This week was a huge point swing since many competitors forgot to fill out their NHRA team. Team Case jumped to the front of the NHRA points which had been dominated by Team Burns all season long and in NASCAR Team Spaulding broke the week point record with 589 points and now sits alone in both H2H wins and total points in NASCAR.

Wine Country Wrap Up

The first NASCAR road race has evened up the standings quite a bit. There are again 3 teams tied for first, all with 11 wins. Thanks to Team Brohl dropping two races in a row the standings are becoming more unpredictable. Team Stancil got their second NASCAR event win of the season and would have most likely taken second place in the overall standings had they remembered to enter the PBR event this week. It is the first event that Team Stancil has missed all year and it could come back to hurt them. Team Burns isn't complaining however, they now have a nice cushion to work with and a PBR event win to go with it. An impressive showing again this week for the RFC in the PBR national standing with a 3rd place finish for Team Burns, a 6th place finish for Team Case and a 33rd place finish for Team Spaulding. Team Burns also managed to break the single week PBR record with his score of 497 breaking their own old record of 486. NHRA also saw a record breaking week from Team Case who scored 721 points also eclipising their old record of 640. Team Case picked all four winners of the NHRA events and finished 17th in the national standings.

RIP Scott Kalitta

New Standings Uploaded

Sorry for the late update on the standings this week but they are up now. Keep your eye out because we have bulls and NHRA coming up this week. So pick you NHRA drivers if you havent already and when you notice the bulls have been posted shoot an email to everyone.

Congratulations to Bryan who swept the events this week. He now has 7 event wins and is in second overall in that category. Him and Sack also made a big jump on Burns to try and take the number two overall points position. Next week NASCAR is heading to Sonoma or Infineon Raceway which is a road course so look for some interesting results there.

No Bulls or NHRA This Week

Don't worry if you forgot to pick bulls because there arent any this week, but there is BASS and NASCAR. BASS kicks off today so check out teh weigh-in if you have time.

Back to Normal

The stars have apparently realigned because this week in NASCAR Team Harman lost, Team Brohl won the event, Micheal Waltrip did not carry Stancil's team (let alone even outscore any of his other drivers) and two of Team Case's drivers decided they should crash into each other. So you can stop worrying that things are spiralling out of control and for God's sake stop thinking about making that trade with Harman for Robby Gordon and Joe Nemechek. In other news Team Stancil has been the top scoring team for two weeks in a row and is making a strong push for second place. He took the win in BASS this week and had strong top three showings in PBR and NHRA. Team Burns became the first mutlievent winner for NHRA, and maintains his spot as the top dog in that event. Oh right, and Team Case dominated PBR but that goes without saying.
