SCF Racing Team Challenge - Chase Edition (Race 9)

[JKC]

Welcome to another running of the Racing Team Challenge!
This contest is open to anyone that wants to participate.

Here are the basic rules:

1. Pick 4 different drivers as your “team” that you think will have the best chance of finishing in the top 4 of the race. NO “TEAMS” HAVING ONE DRIVER MORE THAN ONCE FOR A RACE! HOWEVER YOU CAN CHOOSE THE SAME DRIVERS EVERY WEEK IF YOU WISH.

2. The goal of this is to have the BEST average finish with the 4 drivers you pick.

Example: If someone picked the drivers that finished 2, 4, 10, 17 (average finish - 8.25) and if someone else picked the drivers that finished 6, 7, 12, 27 (average finish - 13). The one with the average finish 8.25 would win as it is the best.

3. Picks and weekly tie breaker can be changed until the start of qualifying. Any changes to your post after qualifying starts will have you disqualified for the race.

4. Since there is a weekly winner, a tie breaker is needed. The tie breaker to help determine the weekly winner is:

1. Without going over, where will Dale Earnhardt Jr. finish in this race?

Guesses for this will be first come first serve for this tie breaker, so please check everyone else's guess before making your own. IF EVERYONE GOES OVER, IT WILL BE THE CLOSEST BUT ONLY IF EVERYONE GOES OVER WITH THEIR GUESS.
NOTE: THE OVERALL TIE BREAKERS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS THEY NEEDED TO BE ANSWERED BY THE START OF QUALIFYING FOR RACE 7.

5. Missing a race from this or getting disqualified will get you an average finish of 45.5. That is the average finish for positions 44, 45, 46, 47. So make sure you don’t miss a race or get disqualified!

6. The member that has the best average finish for each race will be awarded the weekly winner prize mentioned below. The member that has the lowest combined total from their average finishes will be awarded the overall winner prize mentioned below.

7. Most important rule is to have fun doing this as well as watching the race.

Thanks everyone for taking part in this. Race ten will be posted soon, and congrats to the weekly winner...bgnfan4God. That is your third win during this! Your prize will be taken care of soon as well.

Also, with this win for bgnfan4God, the overall standings are looking better for him, but there are still three others that are still not mathematically eliminated from this. For those that are, it is now all about pride and going out to try to win that final race!

Only one more to go, and thanks again for those that are taking part in this!
