Oval Series – Desperado become just the 3rd team to win a Week in the Oval series this season.
1 – Apex (-)
Apex got some bad luck this week as many of their drivers were caught up in wrecks which lead to by far their worst week of the season scoring under 200 points. They still keep the top spot thanks to the work they did earlier this season, but if they get another week like this then watch out.
2 – NLR (-)
They were 1 SLM race away from possibly taking the top spot this week and taking out nearly half the gap between themselves and Apex. They were still able to gain significant ground and making the gap for a possible comeback a little easier.
3 – Brew Crew (-)
Beat NLR by 2 points to take 2nd on the weekend while also taking a strong hold on 3rd in the overall standings. Now can they close the ground on NLR?
4 – Desperado (+2)
Picking up 2 Wins on the way to the top spot this week has Desperado jumping up the Power Rankings. Now the question remains to be if they can find consistent form and make a challenge higher up the standings.
5 – Low Fuel (-1)
Their worst week of the season sees Low Fuel sliding down the overall standings and they find themselves in a battle for the top of the mid table teams. Can they regain their early season form with 3 weeks left?
6 – WCI (-1)
After a huge bounce back week in Week 7, WCI caught some bad luck which leads to their worst week of the season.
7 – Shooter (-)
Ralph Lumely and Cole Shoemaker gave some great performances as the team looks forward to next season.

William Thompson came very close to his first win of the season finishing 2nd in the SLM race for the 3rd week in a row!
Road Series – Low Fuel was 1 race from clean sweeping Week 8!
1 – NLR (-)
Evan Ethell’s dominating performance as well as the rest of the IndyCar team saved NLR from losing their hold on the Top spot in the Road Series. They need to find an answer for if Low Fuel holds this current form though.
2 – Low Fuel (+2)
It’s hard not to over react and put them 1st after the week that they had. They nearly had a clean sweep if it wasn’t for NLR winning the IndyCar race. They also set a league first in MultiClass as not only are they the first team to win all 3 categories but they went 1/2 in GT3 gaining the absolute most points possible in MC.
3 – Apex (-)
Apex takes 2nd on the week by 2 points over NLR, which has them back in 3rd place for the 1st time since week 4. Is there more to come?
4 – Brew Crew (-2)
Scoring under 100 points this week as Brew crew sliding in both the overall standings and the Power Rankings. They had a hold on the Top of the Mid Table Teams for most of the season but only a few points separate them from Apex and Desperado.
5 – Desperado (-)
A decent performance in Week 8 has Desperado holding firm in 5th when there was some openings to climb up the standings this week.
6 – WCI (-)
AJ Striker lead the way for WCI, picking up another Top 5 after her win in Week 7. WCI though did fall back a bit from their Week 7 performance.
7 – Shooter (-)
A bit of a tough week for Shooter even though their F1 drivers took home 3rd and 4th in Week 8.

Tyler Commander lead the way taking home 2nd at Watkins Glen!
