75% sure this Irish very talented, slightly larger then most workaday man won't have a seat next season.
 
I had a blast racing today. Sorry I bailed so quick, but two laps to go and a bunch of company showed up. My guests are also my excuse for the spin at 2 to go after a pretty much flawless race. I managed to sneak through both major incidents, I helped push Drop back to the lead pack, I pulled 'The Champ' back to the lead pack, and before I spun, I myself managed to join the lead pack near the end of the race. Once I spun, I decided to stay in the pit for the last two, so as not to negatively effect the race by re-entering the track. Congrats to Niop, and to Joe, you can't get any closer then that. I think the scheduled 'weeks off' that Drop put in the schedule should help me with being able to commit to the racing, so I'd like to throw my 'hat in the ring' for Sprint Cup. Good race today guys, thanks for letting me run.
 
As long as I've got a full-time Nationwide seat with preferably a European team and a part-time Sprint Cup seat for some of the grand-slam events, I'll be very happy indeed.

Awesome racing tonight guys, had loads of fun. The plan was for me to take the title but with the backup plan evolving around Joe. As he was there with us at the end we had to change things around and it all became about Niop.

And I'm so happy it worked, even if by a point.

Well done Mr 3 Time, awesome working with you for the season, can't wait for next :D

Unlucky to Joe, losing to Championships in two nights, by now two Hendrick drivers, you must be hurting.

Anyway, title is mine next season :nervous:

REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR NOMINATIONS IN FOR THE SPRINTS AS WELL GUYS 👍

Wow, there's a team.
 
Speechless, looking like David v Goliath for everyone bar Hendrick and Ford.

Here's where we stand as of right now.
 
So a 1st and a 3rd for team usa in the championship!? They are rioting in streets here as we speak!

Congrats niop, your one fast sob!
 
I gotta say, I really didn't expect it to unfold like this. All the veterans and serious Championship contenders seem to be all grouped together between two teams. It may be difficult to fill the remaining slots as drivers look over the teams so far. You may have been better off waiting for the team owners to be decided before announcing the actual teams. The deck seems to be a little stacked.

I had things planned out much differently. But it's weird how things change on the fly, and people change your mind one way or another.


Edit: Hendrick is now full.

Ooh, ooh! Pick me! :lol:

Alright, so let me explain my strengths. I am very, very good at High Speed Ring, Indianapolis, and Twin Ring Motegi - Super Speedway (given I have a good setup :lol:). These tracks are my main strengths.

On the negative side, SSRX, Daytona, and Suzuka East tend to give me a lot of trouble, though I can see myself improving on Suzuka. I also need a good setup to run strong, but when I do have a good setup, expect to see me up in the front of the pack, a strong contender for the win.
 
Now just waiting for what Carb says..
