GTP Nascar Nationwide Series
Round 3: Zippo 100
Autodromo Nazionale Monza (No Chicane)
28 laps
Round 3 takes us to our first of 4 road courses this season, the high speed Italian course in Monza. Many Nationwide drivers have backgrounds in road racing, whether in TOCA, PURE or other leagues, so predicting a winner will not be easy.
Nationwide Power Rankings after Round 2:
1. Grinols (RAB Racing)
Who else, really? 2 wins in 2 races puts him in control of the title race early on. Whether he's able to translate his oval success onto the road course remains to be seen.
2. TRYNOR88 (JR Motorsports)
After underfuelling at Daytona and Spinning at Motegi, Trynor should definitely have more points than he does now, but the fact that he's still 3rd in total points is testament to his sheer skills and consistency. Trynor has proven before he's capable of winning while turning right and a win this week would do him wonders
3. D4LVY_ (RAB Racing)
Part of the dominate RAB squad at Daytona, Dave was able to pretty much cruise to a 2nd place, but didn't have a very good day at Motegi, falling well short of his teammates. With the depth of talent in the field, he's going to need to step up and not have another race like that.
4. mustardaddict (RAB Racing)
Pretty much the opposite of D4lvy_, mustard missed the first race completely, but finished a solid 2nd at Motegi. Like Trynor, he's also very good on road courses, and should be considered a threat to win this week.
5. OwensRacing (Roush Racing)
Again, a poor day in 1 race followed by a strong showing in the other, look for him to do well again this week, as the PURE driver won the preseason Nurburgring race.
Was gonna do 10 but didn't have much time this week.
Also, quitting this to play COD of all things is laughably dumb.
