Road America

Now that we've had are fun are Ford's expense the real update. Road America was two men short as Mini and Ford were unable to run. Ford had a previous agreement to gain the points Proof gained. At the start of the race, coming outta turn 2 Proof ran into someone the for the first of many times, spinning Roadie out who was collected by Bad. This brought out the first wreck, Viking took the lead and held it for a few laps until going off and getting passed by Super and Proof. Viking raced back up to Super and bumped each other a few times letting Proof create a 3 car race. After some more bumping, Proof and Viking would let Super get away and run each other off track. A few laps later, Proof was distracted and him and Viking went off in turn 1 bringing out the last caution. Everyone was about 14 laps in from there last pit stop. Roadie, Top, Super, and Viking went toward pit road. However, Roadie, Top, and Super all had the same idea to stay out. With 2 laps to go, Super lead Top, Roadie, Proof, Bad, and then Viking the only one with fresh tires. Off the start, Viking was able to take advantage of the fresh tires are start working there the field. Roadie went off the track on the last restart and damaged Super when rejoining the field, Super then retaliated by severely damaging Roadie. Top was then able to take the lead for the first time. Viking managed to get through the rest of the field but Top was too far off once he got there and went on to win his third race of the season. Roadie unhappy with Super stopped and waited for him and wreck Super at the end of the race who dropped back to 5th.

Finishing Order
1st - Top*
2nd - Viking*
3rd - Bad
4th - Proof
5th - Super*
6th - Roadie*

Week 7: Sunset Infield

Lots of words in this update, you guys can suck it.
Sunset has always been a driver favorite, except tonight. The track was attempting to give Darlington a run for her money. On the first lap, the Proof the leader flipped when clipping a curb bringing out the first caution and a restart. Try #2 brought out another caution after a melee ensued in an attempt to avoid a smaller melee, some words were exchange but nothing outta the usual. 3rd times the charge tho, well sorta except Proof who wreck then managed to barrel into the pit entrance all but ending his night. Two groups then formed on the track, because of different fuel strategies. In the middle of the race, Bad brought out a caution after Sunset flipped him in the same spot as Proof. Under caution, Top disappeared because of lag shortly followed by Super. Caution was thrown and driver collected for a final 17 lap sprint. Roadie, Viking, and Ford broke away from pack. An intense 3 car battle followed. Ford hit a couple corners bad and had to race Top. At this point, Top lagged out helping to slow Ford down even more and eventually Ford was damaged. Nearing the last few laps, Viking and Roadie swapped the lead bout 5 times and Ford fell into the clutchs of Super. On the final lap, Viking couldn't quite catch up to Roadie finishing a few tenths outta the lead. Ford meanwhile fell back to Super and something happen (I don't know) but couldn't get around him and take the overall points lead.

P.S. The points can best be described as a "clusterfuck" with half the field tied for the lead.

1st - Roadie* 10 (-10)
2nd - Viking* 8(-5)
3rd - Ford 6
4th - Super* 6
5th - Mini* 5
6th - Top 3
6th - Proof 3 (+5)
7th - Bad* 3 (+10)

P.S.S. There are only three races left in the season.
