Hey NRL Drivers!

Like every year we follow the latest Sprint Cup rules as close as possible. We'll also extend to 16 qualifiers.

NASCAR doesn't publish the rule book, in fact I found even last night another minor rule about the livery of cars qualified for the chase which we could follow and would look very nice in Herby's videos, see "Livery" at the end.

.

What you need to know for racing is written at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASCAR_rules_and_regulations#Championship_p... , I'll just add the differeneces with explanation why:

As the NRL is no million dollar business we value "real life first" higher then the NRL. That's the reason why we skip this part of rule which states under "Qualification": "... and attempted to qualify for every race". BTW: In the latest example Tony Stewart NASCAR shows also flexible on this rule if Stewart would win in Richmond.

However - and this is important - the part before "...in the top 30 in points" we keep. This means Spyder's qualification is not yet sure although he has 2 victories!

The other change we introduced already last year - we asked the qualified drivers if they think they are able to participate regularily during the chase. I think 2 drivers told no AND agreed on to give their chase spot to the next in the order. Gentlemen agreement, working between NRL members.

Just to be sure: We ask just at chase start, not again at the following 3 cuts.

.

What does this mean practical with still one race missing?

Sure qualified are all drivers with one or more victories.
(Position | Name | Points after reset)
1. »฿sяs«Cαcŧillα ӂ - 2030
2. »฿sяs« Delas - 2015
3. アムЏレ ČהK - 2009 (might be 2000, I still don't trust that all drivers inside the top 30 can keep their bonus points!)
4. >>NRT>> Spyder - 2006 same as Paul, additional: his top 30 position is not yet secure, he might still even drop out completely
5. >NRT>>Martelprod (R), »฿sяs«Снїпд, >>NRT>>Suma²²> 2003

As we don't have more than 26 winners, the other spots are given to drivers with most points so far. Sure qualified are already:
8. ๓๑๏ ¬Jamęlgő, »฿sяs«ΠĀгĭΛη, >>NRT>> KUKU Smile and ๓๑๏¬iӄîӃ๏๓๏®เ - 2000

In a good position with another solid result:
๓๑๏ ¬ elba, ๓๑๏¬Shadoώ ツ and ๓๑๏ ¬jjaaperoloco

At the moment would be also qualified:
>>NRT>> Moחkey©H & »ss« זןןצ २, but another new race winner from one of the drivers behind them and in the end in the top 30 would cost one of them their qualification.

[edit:]From вω. ๒є нλρρ¥ ツ« until P32 a victory is the only chance to still change the picture.

.

During the chase it works also different than the last years. The procedure in short:
- The chase members race together with all NRL members.
- Every three races the field of chase drivers gets reduced by four drivers in the next cut.
- "You win, you're in" (the next round; theoretical you could win the first race and skip 2 races)
- To be confirmed: I believe winners take 3 bonus points into the next round. Informations are not precisely, I think there will be talking about on TV coverage and we'll know it in one or two weeks.
- on the final cut after race 9 the four remaining title contenders sure won't take bonus points into the big final. Who finishs first of these four will be the champion. No counting required.

If anything is not clear please ask now here in the comments, or early during practise on the server, but please not 5 minutes before the races. Wink

Good Luck all Chase participants and good races for all of us. May the best get the champion 2014 !
