My main apologies again for my disorganisation and lack of commitment so far in this league. I believed, as confirmed in the chat, AJ Foyt will buy the Petty Dodge Chassis for a supposedly 400K.

King is happy to get another customer!

Dose Kirk Shlemerdine have to do something? Wait for Yates to figure their chassis out?

If you still want to buy a Yates customer chassis, yeah. Alternatively, you can look into a Roush or Ganassi customer car.

Chassis Tier Design: 4 (Hoping for the best with RNGs)
Number of Chassis Built: 5 (One for Kirk Shelmerdine)

Car number: #28

Kirk will pay the money for Yates which will put his team $100k in debt, right Salamander?

To help with finances, Kirk would like to offer a part-time paydrive deal for drivers in the order below. Kirk is looking to get $100k for the seat and is offering seven races: Pocono, Sonoma, Watkins Glen, New Hampshire, spring Martinsville race and both Bristol races.

1. Willy Dallenbach Jr.
2. Brandon Ash
3. Tom Hubert

----------

KIRK SHELMERDINE RACING
After purchasing the customer Yates chassis, Kirk Shelmerdine Racing is now $100k in debt.

As for the proposed paydrivers, Wally Dallenbach Jr. is A) Not particularly impressed that Kirk can't spell his name and B) Not willing to pay to drive. He ignores the offer.

Brandon Ash is interested, but would have difficulty raising the necessary cash.

1-40 Can't bring any money
41-60 $30k
61-80 $50k
81-90 $70k
91-99 $90k
100 $100k
7!

Brandon Ash is unable to find a sponsor for Shelmerdine. He would drive for free though.

Tom Hubert also is interested, but like Ash will have difficulty finding the necessary cash. He has a better shot of it though.

1-25 Can't bring any money
26-50 $30k
51-70 $50k
71-85 $70k
86-95 $90k
95-100 $100k
86!

Hubert can bring $90k for 7 races with Kirk Shelmerdine's team.

Ted Musgrave would consider driving for free for a couple of races as long as they don't clash with his Truck series schedule, but he's not gonna bother looking for a sponsor to pay to drive for a backmarker, he has better things to do with his time.

Samster · Post by **Samster** » 26 May 2017, 04:12

Yay, our chassis isn't terrible! In fact our budget mobile is a point better than Evernham's Tier 1.

Our aero is a little weak but I'm pretty sure aero has the least effect in NR2003. And the Roush-Yates engine I believe is meant to be the most powerful during the mid-2000s. We should be midfield or at least not DNQing.

Sorry, the purchases for Shepherd are invalid. As DEI is running Roush-Yates Ford engines, their chassis is only valid for Ford-powered entries. You will either need to switch your chassis supply to Penske/Evernham/Petty, who supply Dodge chassis, or switch your Engine supply to one of the Roush-Yates offerings.

----------

With all chassis plans complete, it's time to determine for what teams Steve Park, Mike Skinner, and Ken Schrader will be running for in the 2004 Bud Shootout.

STEVE PARK
Steve Park scored 2 poles last year amidst an otherwise miserable season. As such, he has an offer from RCR for the #90 car, after being let go by them at the end of 2003. He also has an offer from PPI, but they seem less competitive.

1-70 RCR #90
71-100 PPI #32
80!
Park decides his pride is worth a little bit more than a decent ride in the Bud Shootout - he'll drive for PPI.

MIKE SKINNER
The Truck series legend's foray into Cup seems to have come to an end, though scoring a pole in the #01 car at the fall Richmond race last year enables him to run the Bud Shootout at least once more. He has an offer from Morgan-McClure, who dumped him rather abruptly in the middle of last year, and from Bill Davis for the #23, who also appear to have a superior package.

1-85 Bill Davis #23
86-100 Morgan-McClure #4
18!
Skinner takes the Davis drive.

KEN SCHRADER
And lastly, we have Ken Schrader. The veteran racer won the Shootout back in 1989 and 1990, and has offers from Penske to race the #12, and from Evernham for the #9. Both seem solid choices.

1-50 Penske #12
51-100 Evernham #9
39!
Schrader opts for the #12.

----------

With that, the entry list for the Bud Shootout is set. The field is set by random draw, and so looks like this:

1st. #12 Penske Racing Dodge: Ken Schrader (1989 & 1990 winner)
2nd. #11 Joe Gibbs Racing Chevrolet: Elliott Sadler (2 poles in 2003)
3rd. #09 Phoenix Racing Ford: Bill Elliott (1987 winner)
4th. #18 Joe Gibbs Racing Chevrolet: Bobby Labonte (4 poles in 2003)
5th. #20 Joe Gibbs Racing Chevrolet: Tony Stewart (1 pole in 2003)
6th. #6 Roush Racing Ford: Mark Martin (1999 winner)
7th. #8 Dale Earnhardt Inc. Ford: Dale Earnhardt Jr. (2003 winner)
8th. #42 Chip Ganassi Racing Ford: Jamie McMurray (1 pole in 2003)
9th. #22 Bill Davis Racing Chevrolet: Ryan Newman (11 poles in 2003)
10th. #88 Robert Yates Racing Ford: Dale Jarrett (1996 & 2000 winner)
11th. #32 PPI Motorsports Dodge: Steve Park (2 poles in 2003)
12th. #5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet: Terry Labonte (1 pole in 2003)
13th. #23 Bill Davis Racing Chevrolet: Mike Skinner (1 pole in 2003)
14th. #97 Roush Racing Ford: Jeremy Mayfield (1 pole in 2003)
15th. #29 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet: Kevin Harvick (1 pole in 2003)
16th. #41 Chip Ganassi Racing Ford: Dave Blaney (1 pole in 2003)
17th. #30 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet: Jimmie Johnson (2 poles in 2003)
18th. #24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet: Jeff Gordon (4 poles in 2003)
19th. #01 MB2 Motorsports Chevrolet: Boris Said (1 pole in 2003)
20th. #0 Haas CNC Racing Ford: Jeff Green (1 pole in 2003)
21st. #2 Penske Racing Dodge: Rusty Wallace (1998 winner)

$200k goes to the winner of the Bud Shootout, with $100k going to 2nd place, and $50k to 3rd. May the best man win!

MARTIN WINS SECOND SHOOTOUT IN FUEL MILEAGE THRILLER

The defining moment of the 2004 Bud Shootout came on lap 66. Jeremy Mayfield, after dominating the second half of the race following a caution just before the halfway mark for debris, pitted for fuel. He assumed that others would not be able to make the distance. He was wrong.

Following Mayfield in the lead group were Mark Martin, Steve Park, Bobby Labonte, Dale Earnhardt Jr, and Mike Skinner. While Mayfield led, these 5 drivers saved fuel so that they might just be able to make it to the finish. It was not a case of simply holding formation though, as new leader Martin caught the pair of Jeff Green and Kevin Harvick, who had lost the draft early. Martin attempted to pass them to the high side but ran out of momentum and remained side-by-side with Harvick. This led to a tense situation as Steve Park maneuvered his was to the inside line behind Harvick. However, the lapped car of Terry Labonte lined up behind Martin, and somehow the pair had enough pace on the high line to prevent Martin losing position to Park.

On the final lap, however, Labonte lost contact with the #6 car, and it looked like Park may be able to take the win in his only scheduled appearance in the Cup series in 2004. However, it turned out that Park had not saved quite enough fuel as his car suddenly lost speed on the backstretch. With the other cars in the lead pack delayed as a result, the path seemed clear for Martin to repeat his 1999 Shootout victory. However, as he led out of turn 4, he himself began to slow - just short of the fuel he needed to finish. This would seem to open the door for Bobby Labonte, aided by Mike Skinner, to take the win, however, as they closed heading into the tri-oval, Martin made a crucial block to stall their progress enough to deny them victory. Labonte and Skinner would have to settle for 2nd and 3rd. Mayfield finished 13th, after leading 34 of 70 laps.

Full results

Fourth is a pretty good start to the season for PPI; it appears our car does have the pace to run in the top 10 and fight for the win, even if fuel consumption isn't great right now.

As we are now seeing the first prize money being awarded, I'll now explain the system for awarding prize money and in-season upgrades.

Prize money will be awarded as follows for all but the recognised 'Crown Jewel' races - i.e., the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600, Brickyard 400, and Mountain Dew Southern 500. Winnings will be as follows:

1st: $200k
Top 5: $100k
Top 10: $50k
Top 20: $30k
Top 30: $20k
31st and below: $10k
DNQ: Nothing

For the Daytona 500, winnings will be as follows:
1st: $1.5 million
2nd: $1 million
Top 5: $500k
Top 10: $250k
Top 20: $150k
Top 30: $100k
31st and below: $50k
DNQ: Nothing

As for in season upgrades, these will be available every 6 races. Works teams can upgrade their chassis to be more competitive in aero, chassis, and reliability. Customer teams can attempt this too, but are less likely to be as successful. However, they can choose to help fund a Works team upgrade, or purchase one if it's already available. The details on that are free to be worked out amongst yourselves. The exact details on what upgrades are possible will be made available after the 3rd race of the season.

By the way, if you feel like a rule needs changing - either because it's badly thought out, or because changing it might benefit you somehow, feel free to post about it here. The more convincing your argument (see Pasta's article here for a good example) and more teams you rally to your cause, the more likely I am to implement it. I'd like this series to be as free-form as possible - within reason, of course.

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 31 May 2017, 22:04

I'm aware that this is a double post - but it occurs to me as I'm setting up for Daytona 500 qualifying that I haven't told anyone outside of the chat how this is going to work. In a word, badly.

Joking, really, it's not that bad. Just... complicated. You see, the easy part is the top 38 drivers in qualifying all qualify on the times they set in qualifying. After that, we use provisionals to figure out the other 5 starters. Who gets provisionals? That's the tricky part. You can try and figure it out for yourself if you want, but trust me when I say I have a good handle on it. After spending a couple days working it out... essentially, though, I'll keep track of your provisionals on the spreadsheet as you earn them. I'll also keep track of Owner Points on the spreadsheet, once the season starts, as this will determine which teams enter based on provisionals.

You may notice on the spreadsheet for Provisionals, that the car number in row 19 is blank. This is because that was the #40 team, but Pasta has now shut that team down. As such it is free to be sold off (or not) as Pasta wishes. I would suggest that it's done before qualifying for the Daytona 500, so let me know, Pasta, if you plan to do anything with it.

As for the Daytona 500 - well that's an entirely different manner. First, qualifying is run as normal. After this, the first row of the grid is set. Then, the twin duels are run - one with all the drivers qualifying in odd-numbered positions, the other with evens. These races set the grid for the first 15 rows (Except row 1 of course). After this, the next 8 positions go to the fastest drivers in qualifying that did not already make the field. After that, we use provisionals as outlined above.

Still with me? I applaud your persistence, it took me like 3 or 4 re-reads just so I can understand what I'm saying here, and I've been trying to understand the qualifying rules for a couple days now. The good news is that I'm scrapping this system as NASCAR did in real life for the 2005 season. I will announce a new system (which may be altered depending on team input) after race 6.

It is a full time entry. You may also renumber it if you wish - you aren't purchasing the number itself so much as the associated entry points and provisionals. You could even assign those it to the #64, turn that into a full-time entry, and hire Park to run the remaining 24 races of the schedule. Though he would like to know if you're going to pay him... (he would take basically anything at this stage)
