After a typical GASCAR first start cluster which saw Hulking Spoon put Super into a doo hickie, Top lose control and tap MINI thus creating a two car road block for FORD the race was restarted and calmer heads prevailed on the second green flag.
A four car pack of Viking, Top, Ford and Super quickly formed with some battling that the crowd thought was sure to bring out a caution. However they sorted themselves out and the race settled down with six different drivers leading a lap through competition and pit stops.
Hulking created some needed excitement to an otherwise boring race as he was used as a pick by the leaders on three different occasions. Ford and Viking battled some but mostly tried to catch Top who used his ridiculous amount of PI to his advantage on the oval portion of the course. DJ, subbing for Vette, was ready to pounce if any of the top four faltered but his lack of top end speed kept him out of striking distance. Vinny soldiered on to sixth and MINI had a thoroughly unspectacular race and tried to talk Hulking into flipping his car to bring out a caution.
Ford's third place finish created a 14 point gap with two races to go. With next week's race at the Nurburgring paying double points, Ford could wrap up the title with a second place finish. Other complicated scenarios exist as well but I was told there would be no math. There is a log jog with Vette, MINI and Viking for third place with Super only one point ahead. Top is not mathematically eliminated but we would need a win and a poor showing by Ford this week.
The burning questions as GASCAR heads to Germany: Can Ford hold his mud and race at the front? Will team orders come into play for FordFuel Racing? Will Viking play dirty?
Stay tuned race fans. This could get ugly.

ReplyDeleteI read these most weeks, sounds like a really interesting series. Ford seems like a douche tho, and should definently be put in the wall.
ReplyDeleteWoah we have a follower! World Domination!
ReplyDeleteDear Loyal Follower, First of all congratulations on your good taste. Second, Ford is not a douche. In fact, none of the people in this series are. None of that will stop Viking from putting him in the wall if Ford stands between Viking and a win.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, our series chairman, Viking, will post the next race to youtube so the world can experience the greatness that is GASCAR.
