It looks like the championship repeat is almost out of question for Vaughn Gittin Jr. after he failed to qualify in Long Beach. With the points system it is virtually impossible (not statistically) to win a championship. Needless to say nobody has done it in history to date.
In his favor might be the retirement of Tanner Foust and Sam Hubinette’s failure to compete at Long Beach could mean he has a chance but I doubt it. One of the Falken teammates or Chris Forsberg I think is going to step to the task of running a championship points race without JR in the running.
(Vaughn Gittin qualified 33rd)
Wheres the list????
Rhys Millen failed to show up at long beach in 08 and managed a 3rd place overall in championship that year by only winning 2 events. Its a long shot but there is slight hope.
What happened? Did he just overcook it and spin on his laps?
Plus look at JRs stats from last year. If he mimics that season for the rest of this one he should be ok.
Bad first run w 41 pts n second i think spin or stalled at tge hairpin. Wow what a weekend. Bunch of issues from alot of people.
Nice! Good start to the season. Don’t count out Tuerck for a championship.
Danny George did you ever make it on track? I haven’t seen any pictures of your car yet.
