GTP Nascar Nationwide Series
Round 5: AMP Energy 150
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Though fairly quiet in the thread, as the teams head to the legendary Brickyard for the first time, unconfirmed reports of infighting and drama between drivers of one of the top teams has been going on behind closed doors which could drastically change the landscape on the track. How it resolves is yet to be confirmed, but rumors are swirling about a top driver ready to announce a team change shortly before the green flag. That's all I'll say about the matter until a formal announcement is made in the thread.
Oh yeah, a 60 lap race is taking place, and will be the last race before possible physics changes to GT5 throw every setup completely out the window.
Nationwide Power Rankings after Round 4:
1.
Grinols: Three podiums out of 4 races. That's all that needs to be said, frankly. Tried to go for the win at SSRX, but still ended up 3rd.
Trending: STEADY
2.
OwensRacing: An incredible run through turn 4 after almost crashing in turn 3 sees Jeff break through and score his first Nascar series win. He performed well at the preseason race at his home track, and has raced here many time before, so don't be surprised if he makes it 2 in a row.
Trending: UP
3.
mustardaddict: A couple of bad breaks at SSRX topped off by being unable to run down a car with a blown engine out of turn 4 on the last lap. Look for him to bounce back at Indy
Trending: DOWN
4.
D4LVY_: Benefited greatly by being at the front with his teammates when The Big One happened and took home 2nd. Solidly 3rd in points, but consistency might be an issue.
Trending: UP
5.
gokartman: Despite being involved in the Big One, he was able to work his way up and still finish 4th. Like neljack, he's building a nice run of solid results.
