With only 3 races left in the Open Container Series, Hot Rod is looking like a sure bet for champion. He's got a 10 point lead on the 2nd place driver and 5 wins out of 9 races. This dude is plain unstoppable in Indy cars!
Last night was yet another example of the Hot Rod dominance. Pert took the pole with a nice 19.1 second lap with Hog right on her tail at 19.2. Krusty showed an 18.9 in practice but was left out in the cold, qualifyin 5th with a 19.37.
Krusty and Hot Rod jumped right out front and fought over the lead. Pert's right front tire tagged Sparky and sent him into the wall, messin up his aero for the rest of the race and Hog cruised past Sparky for 4th.
Hog got caught speeding on pit road and got black flagged. Twice. No, 3 times! 4? I Lost count. Sparky got pinned against the wall in turn 4 and got flagged for wall riding.
Krusty Killed his Kar Koming off a Korner and got Karted off to Konsume mass Kwantities in the pits.
Hog forgot to signal for a pit and Pert met up with his bumper at about 167 mph in turn 3, sending her car flying up into the wall and scattering pieces all over the track, which Rod promptly ran over, miraculously not damaging his ride.
Sparky actually got out front for a few laps after Rod made his last pit, but he didn't have enough go-juice to finish up so Rod took the point back with 5 to go.
1st - Hot Rod
2nd - Sparky
3rd - Hog
4th - Pert
5th - Krusty
By my calculations Spark is the only bastage who could possibly take the OC title away from Rod, and then only if he (Sparky) wins 2 of the last 3 races and Rod comes in 5th in all 3.
Weirder things have happened!
Not very fargin likely though!
