Take a second and join me for

Well gang, I hate to say it, but this wraps up the 2026 season.  It's been a fun year, and I hope all of you had fun also, and will be back in 2027.  I plan on keeping things basically the same with the same entry fee, side games, and pay-outs.  Come on back and play again.  I am sure it'll be an interesting year as we see some drivers swap teams, some new drivers added to the series, and even a new make as Dodge returns.  I want to MAKE SURE if any of you CHANGE EMAIL addresses or phone numbers, you LET ME KNOW.  I'll need to be able to contact you when time to get going next year comes around, and my little game is one of those that is easy to forget to update.  I've had the same email address for 24 years and I plan to keep on keeping on with it so you should be able to find me there.
I know I mentioned next year may be the final year, and I've had a TON of you folks contact me and beg me to keep going.  We'll see how next year plays out and decide then.  In the mean time if you want to get an extra player, or have your spouse or family member or co-workers join in - Have them contact me or send me their email address and I'll contact them.
Let's look at this weeks results and how it shuffled the standings and pay-outs as we close out the year.

WEEKLY
Winner -  Kevin H   Winning score - 486    MAX score -  542    Low To Cash -  Davey S - 427
Winner this week was: John H with a score of 486.  John beat Cliff H1 by 8 points, and Bill H by 11.  Dusty L was fourth 12 back, and Anthony N rounded out the top 5 19 back at 467.  Interesting as we saw picks spread out all over the place, we saw very few ties.  In fact we only had one tie in the top 20 finishers, and that was down for 13th and 14th.  Rounding out the top ten finishers this week was Ron D with 462;  Zack F 461;  Lee K 454;  Howard W 453;  and James R with 450.  Last cash was Davey S at 427.  So even though we had few ties, scores were still fairly close.  We had one rookie in the money, and as we close the year, we saw four gals grab some cash.

Segment   Jeff S2   Leading score - 4279     Low To Cash -  Lee K - 4160
Segment 2 - Jeff S2 grabbed the lead from Robyn last week and held it by 59.  But she came storming back this week, but just fell short losing to Jeff by four points.  Blaine S1 was -86 last week, but like Robyn also caught Jeff and fell short by 12.  Skip was fourth two weeks ago, but fell to 11th last week at -133.  He made a nice recovery this week and got back to finish fourth -59.  Chris T was seventh last week -121 up to fifth -66.  Alexus was ninth -130 last week, but finished the year in sixth -75.  Cliff H2 slid a bit this week, falling from fifth -106, down to seventh -79.  Jimmy G ended the year in eighth -90; while Chuck C2 is ninth -93.  James R rounded out the top ten -97, and Ron C1 was 11th -99.  Pretty impressive.  A ten race run, and the top 11 were all within 100 points.  In fact the top 20 was all within 119 points as Lee K got the last cash spot -119.  Christa B was the first person out at -121.
We had two rookies in the money, and we ended with four gals in the money.

Overall -    Anita M - 15,341       Low To Cash -  Blaine S1 - 14,968
Anita had a decent week; missed the money, but did well enough to hang onto the lead here and be the 2026 Overall Champ.  Ron C1 moved into second this week going from -96 to -53.  Jimmy G also moved up one spot into third going from -111 up to -69.  Weldon fell from second -86 down to fourth -84.  Dusty L had a great week finishing fourth.  She was 10th -242 here last week, and moved up to fifth -128.  Chuck C2 dropped a spot as Dusty moved up as he ended -129.  Alexis F remained seventh going from -203 to -148.  Chris T also held his spot ending -179.  Robyn P also had a bad week last week falling to 11th -252.  This week she recovered a bit moving up to finish the year in ninth -197.  David F1 was one that took a tumble this week as he fell from sixth -195 down to tenth -204.  He ended up tied with Scott E for tenth.  Blaine S1 was last cash last week -447.  He scored well enough to hang on to that spot and grabbed the last spot in the money at -373.
We ended with three rookies in the money, and had five gals in the money.
Winner also gets a brick in their name at Victory Junction.  Congrats Anita

THE CHASE  -           
The new Tab is called CHASE2.
So as the Chase comes to a close; - Robyn P managed to ride her good early weeks of the Chase to claim the win by 136.  As I pointed out last week, points were really close behind Robyn, and we could see a big shuffle in the standings here.  Just check out how close these points are as we go along....  We saw Skip H jump from seventh -155 up to second -136.  Chuck C2 ended up third -137 after being fourth -124 last week.  Alexis F came home fourth -143 moving up from sixth last week.  Ron C1 tied Alexis for fourth at -143 as he was fifth last week -131.  Dusty L used her good week to move from 19th -241 last week, up to sixth -151.  Christa B saw a slide down from second -108 down to seventh -162, but still in the money.   Anita was tied with Christa last week and she slid also and ended up eighth -163.  Jimmy G ended up ninth -173 after being eighth -160 last week.  Joe R2 and Weldon rounded out the top ten LAST week, but fell out of the money as Dusty and Chris T moved in.  Chris moved from 13th -185 into the final cash spot -185 as he bypassed three folks to grab that last spot.
In these ten pay out spots we had three rookies, and a whopping five gals.
Winner also gets a brick in their name at Victory Junction.  Congrats Robyn

Survivor -            IMMUNITY  -  NONE -
Survivor proved to be a tough game as is usual.  Our four players that make it to the final race all went head to head with the highest score winning, and money paid out in the order of scores.  Ron C1 won with 393; just barely beating Jimmy G1 by ONE point.  Anita and Jeff S1 tied for third at 350.  This game is tougher so it pays $40 - $30 - $20 - $10.  Winner also gets a brick in their name at Victory Junction.  Congrats Ron

FANTASY LIVE -  Chuck C - winner
Things were nip and tuck the last seven weeks as Chuck, Weldon, Mark and Darell battled for the win here.  In the final weeks it narrowed down to just three as Mark fell further back, and as we went into the final week it was a three horse race as they were within 30 points.  Chuck managed to hang on to win as Darell slipped by Weldon to get second by two points.  Mark had fourth place locked up heading into this week.
Winner also gets a brick in their name at Victory Junction.  Congrats Chuck C

Elite 8  -   Leader -  Jeff S1 - 2717    Low To Cash - Bruce  - 2691
NEXT RACE #36 - MIAMI
This game is "ELITE 8".
This is the SEVENTH race of Elite 8.  As of now Robyn P has found herself in the lead as she has just managed to not have a terrible week. Robyn moved up from third and now leads last weeks leader Jeff S1 by 6 points.... 3117-3111.  Dusty was second last week two points back, but fell down to third now and is 18 from the lead.  Joe R1 made a nice move and sits in fourth now, but has a 42 point gap back to third.  But that's easy to make up in one race.  Arlene is just two more markers out; while John H; Arco, Bruce F, Randy S2; and Davey S are all within 15 points of her.  So we have a real battle for those last cash spots, and someone could even pull out the win yet.

Road Rage  -   Leader -   Alex B - 1762      Low To Cash - Matt S / Ron C - 1751
