This page shows the "WEEKLY" results, and Pay-outs. When the file download look at the bottom and you'll also tabs that say "Segment" "Overall" "Chase" "Super 7" and the rest of the side games.
BELOW this I write a blurb about that weeks race; and also which players did what, what drivers did well (or poorly) etc. Folks say they love this as it is interesting and often funny
Take a second and join me for
Man what a race - personally I enjoyed it. I reminded me of the old days when teams would take some time in practice to help toughen up their tires in case that's what they needed in the race. I loved the drivers / teams had to manage their tires. Strategy came into play and it wasn't just a 'run wide open' type of affair. You can tell the veterans found their way to the front as they paced themselves early so their tires would last longer. You can always make your tires last longer; but it involved lifting your foot off the floor. It was sur interesting watching to see who over-drove their cars; and run so hard they killed their tires; when after we ran about 40 laps; waiting to see if someone would blow a tire. I know at one point everyone had pitted but Keselowski and someone else; and was 2+ laps behind. If they would have had a yellow at that point; even after cars waved around almost all of the field would have been a lap down and the race would have been on. Loved how it played out and how different teams had the option of using different stratagies. To many races now day force the teams to all use the SAME strategy because of the yellows at the end of stages. I'm OK with stages and giving out points; but I'd like to see the yellow stay in the flagman's back pocket and keep on racing.
NEXT WEEK we are off to COTA and the first road race of the year. It'll be interesting to see what part-time drivers come to race in Cup (and the other series)
Five races down and three to go in Segment #1. I', already looking at what drivers I want to move into different groups at the end of the first Segment of the game. More on that later.
Three races to go in this one. The road course next week; and then two more short tracks.
This weeks results below.

WEEKLY
Winner - Al Allison Winning score - 499 MAX score - 588 Low To Cash - 458
Man I glanced at the scores when I did the results and "thought" I had managed to be in a five-way tie for the win. I over looked Al Allison and he beat us by eight points. We had Gragson and he had Gilliland which made the 8 point difference. As mentioned; five of us scored 491 to tie for second. Last weeks willer Weldon W was one of those. Tenth place was Jimmy G with 469; while last cash saw Tony N score 445 to grab the last cash spot.
Segment Weldon W - 2206 Low To Cash - Joe R1 - 2042
Segment 1 - Weldon made a big jump last week; then finished second this week. Still he is only 16 points ahead of Bruce F. Jeff S2 is third with 2148 (-58); followed by April A 2140 (-66) and Ron C2 2115 (-91). SO Weldon and Bruce's good week has saw them put a little gap on the field. Geoff M sits in tenth with 2080 (-126) and last cash is Joe R1 at 2042 (-164). All the way down to 51st is less than 100 away from the segment money with three races to go before the first payout. Arlene K was last cash last week; and slid back just a bit and now sits 22nd just 12 points away from the money.
Overall - Low To Cash -
Overall - Over all will be a mirror image of Segment #1. When we reset the scores and get into Segment #2 then this will start being updated.
THE CHASE - Bruce F still leads Low To advance - Terry J1 - 2088
Bruce F is still leading at 2190. Followed by Jeff S2 at 2148. April A was in the final spot last week; but moved up into third this week at 2140.
At this point; I'll start covering more about who is at the cut off spot. You gotta be 8th or better to advance as a non-winner. Terry J1 sits in eighth place right now with 2088. He is only 5 points behind Chris T; and 20 behind Joe R2.
First person out right now is Geoff M at 2080; just 8 behind Terry. Jimmy G1 and Jimmy G2 are next. It's a tight pack and 21 races until the cut.
As of now we have had five races and five different winners. If not for Al A; we would have had a five way tie for the win this week and ALL those folks would have automatically advanced to the Chase.
Survivor - IMMUNITY - Al Allison
As mentioned before; names in BOLD on the weekly results tab have been eliminated.
We also have immunity. HIGH score for the week has immunity for the next race. Since Dave J won this week; he could have low score the next race; but would have immunity and NOT be eliminated. Immunity is only good for the following race.
This week the five lowest scores not already eliminated were Mark A; Neal T; Brian H; Peggy D; and Andrew C
