JOLIET, IL — The ASJ-VHR juggernaut has battled through seven months and 25 races just to start all over again. And they knew it was coming!
Since February 23, some 29 SJ drivers have ventured into the weekly Tuesday night melee that has been the inaugaural ASJ effort at a full VHR season. The brainchild of the ambitious [SJ]Junebug, the league was developed to follow the extensive NASCAR Sprint Cup Season from the United States. And maintaining fields of 8-12 over 25 races thus far, the league is proving to be a rousing success for a first year effort.
But now, with 10 races to go, the top ten drivers have been artificially separated by the rest of the points field for the Chase. Two jokers have also been added to fill out the 12-man Chase Field, based on number of victories thus far. However, unlike other sports that employ a playoff-type system, this playoff’s (The Chase) competitors must vie for their championship while the remainder of the league battle for the same race trophies needed to secure the championship. Complicated? That’s NASCAR.
Going into the Chase, the championship contenders are:
Pos. Driver Points
1. KL Mallender 2015
2. AlarmedBread 2012
3. Cobra 2012
4. Fitch 2009
5. JuneBug 2006
6. MrDee 2006
7. Hooch 2003
8. xk289ci 2000
9. Michel 2000
10. Jimbo 2000
11. Forsythe (WC) 2000
12. RockyC (WC) 2000
The top ten drivers have been given the base 2000 points, then awarded three bonus points for each victory during the season thus far. Chase Positions 11 and 12 were then filled with the two drivers from positions 11 through 20 with the most victories and they were given the base 2000 points.
Compare that to the points before the Chase:
- Pos. Driver Points
- 1. Hooch 1016
- 2. Junebug 1007
- 3. Mr. Dee 952
- 4. xk289 886
- 5. Fitch 803
- 6. AlarmedBread 720
- 7. Cobra 306
- 8. Michel Vaillant 280
- 9. Kevin L Mallender 279
- 10. Jimbo 262
The end result? A two horse race for the championship has become 12 cats in a bag, fighting it out! And that bag is surrounded by a pack of dogs. The fur is gonna fly! So come join the chaos, the fields are still open to all of SJ, and larger fields just add to the competition.
