FOFC Racing - Sprint Cup Series - Season 3 - FINAL STANDINGS POSTED!
Welcome to Season 3 of the FOFC Sprint Cup Racing Series. If you would like to sign-up, head on over to our sign-up thread. We now have sign-ups ongoing for our Truck Series as the Sprint Cup Series is currently full. If you already have drivers in the Cup series but want more, sign-up for the Truck Series. New drivers to the series will have to first enter the Truck Series and earn their way to the Cup series. Camping World Truck Series Thread FOFC Racing Sign-Up Thread PLAYOFF FORMAT After 10 "regular season" races, the top 10 drivers, as determined by points accumulated during the season, automatically advance to contend for the Sprint Cup championship. These drivers are joined by two "wild card" qualifiers, specifically the two drivers ranked from 11th through 37th in drivers' points who have the most regular-season race wins. The 12 drivers' championship points are reset to a base of 1,000 per driver. Each of the 10 automatic qualifiers receives a bonus of 3 points for each win during the regular season, while the two wild card qualifiers receive no bonus. Every driver then will receive a bonus for their final position after 10 races. Wild card qualifiers receive no bonus. 1st - 20 bonus points 2nd - 18 bonus points 3rd - 16 bonus points 4th - 14 bonus points 5th - 12 bonus points 6th - 10 bonus points 7th - 8 bonus points 8th - 6 bonus points 9th - 4 bonus points 10th - 2 bonus points Normal scoring applies during the Chase, with race winners earning 43 base points plus 3 bonus points, all drivers who lead a lap earning 1 bonus point, and the driver who leads the most laps earning 1 bonus point in addition to any other points earned. PROMOTION/RELEGATION If any driver from the truck series whose owner only has one driver in the Cup Series is eligible to be promoted to the Cup series if they finish in the top 5 of the truck point standings. Only one driver for each owner will be eligible this season even if two finish in the top 5. Any driver that finishes in the bottom 5 of the Cup Series standings will be at risk for demotion. This season, however, we will only allow demotion of drivers whose owner has two cars in the series. If a driver finishes in the bottom 5 but only has one car in the Cup Series they will not be eligible for demotion. Also, if you have a Truck driver and he finishes in the top 5 of the truck standings, he is eligible to replace one of your Sprint Cup drivers if you wish. For future reference, past champions of the Cup Series will automatically be exempt from any demotions. SCORING SYSTEM Last edited by cmp : 08-07-2015 at 02:51 PM. |

Can't wait to get started in Season 3. Zach's team has made a lot of changes to the car so hopefully they pay off.

The Nielsen boys spent much of the off season in practice, with Rob giving his Danish cousin Magnus several pointers. The two worked on a lot of strategy this season, and Magnus is hopeful his fortunes will turn around this season.

Race #1 of 15 - Daytona 500 Results
As always, the Daytona 500 was a terrific race. This year we had 84 lead changes among 30 drivers throughout the day. Blue Neckansack led 32 laps on the day and Wallace Bryant led 31 as those two were the lap leaders but there was no one dominate car throughout the day.
As the race wound down, Bryant held the lead with 3 to go. Behind him was Comrade Twelve, winner of the Season 2 Daytona 500. Heading into turn 4 on lap 198 Twelve made the pass on the inside and took the lead. Behind him Red Neckanback and Helen Wheels would try and make the move for the win but were unable to as Twelve took the checkered flag for his 2nd straight Daytona 500 win. The highest finishing rookie on the day was Chuck Long in 4th. Connor Root finished 14th, Will Kizer 29th and Jeremy Letto 42nd. Last edited by cmp : 06-25-2015 at 02:42 PM. |

Mediocre start to the season for the #51 team. But you never know what will happen at Daytona anyway. The next two races will be a big test to see if all the changes we made in the offseason take effect.
Crazy though that Comrade Twelve won two straight 500's. |

Great start for Long in his Sprint cup debut. Grey was solid at 11th.
Good start to the season for Godzilla Mortorsports.

Race #2 of 15 - Sylvania 300 Results
Season 2 was a tough one for Right Now Motorsports as Dexter Jackson Sr. finished 35th in the points and Ricky Anderson Jr finished 42nd and was demoted to the Truck Series. Today's Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire might have made up for all of that. Dexter Jackson Sr. completely dominated almost the entire race as he led 258 of 300 laps on the day, only losing the lead for a significant portion to David Ginsberg after pit stops. A final caution with only 8 laps to go bunched up the field again but Jackson pulled right away from Luke Duke to take the win. Lew Sifford ended up 2nd, followed by Duke in 3rd, David Ginsberg in 4th and rookie Connor in 5th.

Well that's more like it! Looks like all the changes the crew made in the offseason have paid dividends already for the #6 team. Now hopefully the rest of the season is like today was for Dexter and the guys.

Another Race with laps led, but at least I was able to finish this one, despite it being just outside the Top 10. Now if he can keep this up, I'd be satisfied as long as he don't fall into the Bottom 5, I'd hate to see him fall back to trucks.

Welcome to the big leagues, Chuck. He really struggled.
Hawk had another consistent performance.

A top 10 for Will Kizer and the #5 team. Great race for the guys earlier on in his rookie season. We're gunning for that Rookie of the Year title.

Race #3 of 15 - Duck Commander 500 Results
Fort Worth, TX - Avery Thomas and his DD Racing #20 crew left everyone else shaking their heads as they left Texas Motor Speedway today. Thomas, driving a special #20 Coca-Cola sponsored car was able to stretch his fuel longer than any other driver in the race and wound winning by 22.78 seconds over second place David Ginsberg, who was the only other driver to finish on the lead lap. Thomas led 76 laps over the races final segments for his first career FOFC Sprint Cup Series win. After Ginsberg in 2nd, rookie Chuck Long put together a great 3rd place run. In 4th place was Luke Duke and Wallace Bryant was 5th.
Rookie Connor Root had a great run early on and led 67 laps before getting involved in an accident and finishing 30th. Dexter Jackson Sr. followed up his dominating win at New Hampshire by leading the most laps, 113, and finishing 8th. Bo Duke led 59 laps on the day before breaking a valve on the car and finishing 37th. |

Standings after Race #3 of 15
It sure looks like Dexter Jackson Sr. and the #6 team found something that worked in the offseason as he leads the points by 8 over David Ginsberg. In 3rd is Lew Sifford who looks to have taken some pointers from teammate and Season 2 champ Helen Wheels. Wheels is tied for 4th with Wallace Bryant.
Some early surprised includew 2-time playoff drivers Bo Duke and Wheely McStephens who finds themselves 36th and 38th early on as well as Patrick Hutt, a 5-time winner on the circuit, who is 40th. Last edited by cmp : 06-30-2015 at 09:35 PM. |

hmm, I appear to be stuck middle of the pack, hopefully things improve as the season goes on. getting a spot in the chase would be nice although I doubt it at this rate. at least I'm consistent at 1 thing, leading at least 1 Lap per race so far.

I nice run by the #44 team.
Patrick Hutt has made an enemy of Hawk Grey after sending him into the wall for no apparent reason.

Well, a little bit of bad news, my computer that I run the game on crashed today. Good news is I recently saved most of the stuff onto a flash drive. I'm going to try and transfer the game over to my other computer and then get everything updated on it and start running races again. I'll try and get as much done as I can this weekend and hopefully start up with race 4 next week.

Race #4 of 15 - STP 500 Results
For the most part it was the usual suspects that find themselves up front at short tracks once again running in the lead. Rob Nielsen took the pole but only led 5 laps before finishing 6th. The remainder of the race, three drivers took turns in the lead. First it was Patrick Hutt who led 108 laps before giving up the lead to Bo Duke who lead 104 laps before rookie Connor Root took over the lead and led for 75 laps. Root wasn't able to hold off Red Neckanback however. Red took the lead and led 140 laps to take the victory, his 2nd career win at Martinsville. In 2nd was Root followed by Bo Duke, Hutt and Aaron Kappe.
