PLUS THE 3 ADDITIONAL BONUS QUESTION MATCHUPS ARE STILL GOING ON AS WELL!

ENJOY!

#24 Jeff Gordon - Will he defeat #18 Kyle Busch in Round #2?

#24 Jeff Gordon is on a 3 Game (Race) Win Streak. He faced being SWEPT by #33 Clint Bowyer, and instead won the next 3 in a row to advance to the 2nd Round.

Now #24 Jeff Gordon takes on #18 Kyle Busch in the Battle of Attitudes. Both think they are KING of the Mountain, but in this Classic Matchup only ONE can WIN and ADVANCE to the FINAL FOUR / 3RD ROUND. Will it be #24 or #18 who WINS? It is a Best 3 out of 5 Series!

#18 Kyle Busch - CHEER him? Or BOO him?

Who is the "Darth Vader" of Racing these days who gets the most BOOs when you attend a Race Live? Is it #24 Jeff Gordon? #18 Kyle Busch? #12 Brad K? #48 Jimmie Johnson? Somebody else? This really varies from track to track as well as current racing events. 1 week a Racer may be the "Bad Guy" and get BOOOs, and the next week be the "Good Guy" and get CHEERS.

What Racers do YOU like to CHEER for? and also BOO? A Racer who either gets CHEERs or BOOs is doing something right. If you are a Racer you don't want no fan reaction at all. Even the Legendary #3 Dale Earnhardt got BOOs before and embraced it by the fans, and later he became a HERO.

The BIGGEST MATCHUP in Round #2 of the Tournament is the Battle of "Darth Vaders" at one time or another of #18 KYLE BUSCH versus #24 JEFF GORDON. Can #18 take down the 4-Time Champ and live up to his "Next Champ" hype? If these 2 would have been paired up in the Round #1 then #18 would have won 3 Games to 2. The Matchup is in Round #2 instead, and what will happen?

Lady Luck = #39 Ryan Newman

What is the 1 Racer in the 2nd Round of the 2010 NRL Tournament that feels LUCKY right now? #39 Ryan Newman! In his 5 Races in Round #1 of this tournament he NEVER had a TOP 15 FINISH, but yet this was good enough to defeat #11 Denny Hamlin (2008 NRL World Champ - Team Format) 3 Games to 2. It was a classic series that #39 won the final 3 races in a row and one of those by miracle basically in Race #4.

In a sense #39 Ryan Newman has been given a "2nd Chance", and has Advanced to the 2nd Round. Will he take advantage of this 2nd Chance and upset Round #1 MVP #17 MATT KENSETH? Or will #17 prove to #39 his Lady Luck is about to run out??

ROUND #1 MVP Goes To . . #17 KENSETH!

The Best Overall Racer in Round #1 of the 2010 NRL TOURNAMENT, and OFFICIAL MVP is #17 MATT KENSETH. Matt finished in the Top 8 of all 5 Races and had to endure a tough 5 Game Series with #5 Mark Martin. At one point Matt was even trailing Martin in the Series 1 Game to 2. Kenseth was SOLID in all 5 Races, and in the end WON the Series 3 Games to 2. CONGRATS to #17 MATT KENSETH - MVP of Round #1!

Honorable Mention goes to #16 Greg Biffle for SWEEPING #99 Carl Edwards.

Race #5: Bristol Preview - #83 Versus #14

#83 Brian Vickers versus #14 Tony Stewart in Race #5 at Bristol to see which Racer will ADVANCE to the 2nd Round of the 2010 NRL Tournament. This Classic Series has went back and forth with Each Racer in the Series Lead at some point, and now it is all Tied at 2 to 2. It is time to break the time and determine a SERIES WINNER . . will it be #83 or #14??

Race Winner Recap:
* Race #1 = #83
* Race #2 = #14
* Race #3 = #14
* Race #4 = #83
* Race #5 = ??

Bristol Average Finish:
#83 = 24.7
#14 = 17.1

Last 2 Bristol Finishes:
#83 = 12, 29
#14 = 33, 17

Stats Breakdown:
The stats don't pick a clear cut favorite. This is another TOSSUP that could go either way. Both have the fire, desire, and winning skills, but only ONE can WIN. WHO will it be? It is 2009 NRL WORLD CHAMPION (Old TEAM Format) in #83 VERSUS 2009 NRL Regular Season MVP and 2 - Time NASCAR CHAMP #14. TIME FOR BRISTOL ELIMINATION RACE #5 MARCH 21ST, 2010!!!!!

Race #5: Bristol Preview - #9 Versus #18

#18 Kyle Busch won the first 2 races in this series, but now #9 Kasey Kahne has won the last 2 to force ELIMINATION RACE #5 at BRISTOL!!! WHO will WIN at BRISTOL and ADVANCE??

Race Winner Recap:

* Race #1 = #18

* Race #2 = #18

* Race #3 = #9

* Race #4 = #9

* Race #5 = ??

Bristol Average Finish:

#9 = 20.0

#18 = 10.2

Last 2 Bristol Finishes:

#9 = 28, 5

#18 = 1, 1

Stats Breakdown:

#18 is the HUGE FAVORITE to defeat #9 at Bristol. #18 has took FIRST PLACE at the last 2 Bristol Races, and he looks to continue his winning ways. #18 is the Racer to beat in this Matchup at Bristol. Can #9 score the Huge Bristol Upset? Or is #18 too DOMINANT at BRISTOL??

Race #5: Bristol Preview - #33 Versus #24

#33 Clint Bowyer tried to SHOCK the WORLD by SWEEPING #24 Jeff Gordon but it didn't happen. Somehow, some way #24 rallied to win the last 2 races over #33, and now we go to ELIMINATION RACE #5 at BRISTOL on MARCH 21ST!! This is 1 of 5 Elimination Matchups at Bristol and it is MUST SEE RACING ACTION!! Can #33 score the Biggest Upset in NRL RACER vs RACER History with a Race #5 Win? Or will #24 make it 3 Wins in a Row to Advance??

Race Winner Recap:
* Race #1 = #33
* Race #2 = #33
* Race #3 = #24
* Race #4 = #24
* Race #5 = ??

Bristol Average Finish:
#33 = 15.2
#24 = 11.6

Last 2 Bristol Finishes:
#33 = 21, 13
#24 = 23, 4

Stats Breakdown:
The stats favor #24, and #33 had #24 beat in Race #4, but in a wild gamble #33 took 2 tires instead of 4 on his final pitstop, and this led to defeat disaster. Can #33 rebound for this big Race #4 Loss? Or does #24 get another win and advance?

Race #5: Bristol Preview - #39 Versus #11

#39 Ryan Newman was all but eliminated but somehow has managed to pick up 2 wins in a row over #11 Denny Hamlin, and now these two square off in a Classic Do or Die Matchup.

Race Winner Recap:
* Race #1 = #11
* Race #2 = #11
* Race #3 = #39
* Race #4 = #39
* Race #5 = ??

Bristol Average Finish:
#39 = 18.4
#11 = 11.6

Last 2 Bristol Finishes:
#39 = 6, 7
#11 = 5, 2

Stats Breakdown:
* The stats narrowly give #11 the advantage but Lady Luck is on the side of #39 right now, and sometimes that is all it takes. I wouldn't place any bets on this 50 / 50 Matchup!

Race #5: Bristol Preview - #17 Versus #5

#17 Matt Kenseth vs #5 Mark Martin in an Elimination Race at Bristol. The Series is Tied 2 to 2, and only one can Advance to the 2nd Round of the Tournament.

Race Winner Recap:
* Race #1 = #17
* Race #2 = #5
* Race #3 = #5
* Race #4 = #17
* Race #5 = ??

Bristol Average Finish:
#17 = 13.1
#5 = 12.4

Last 2 Bristol Finishes:
#17 = 10, 33
#5 = 2, 6

Stats Breakdown:
* A slight edge to #5, but in 2010 #17 has been the better overall Racer making this Do or Die Matchup a TOSSUP! Can #17 get the WIN and ADVANCE, or will #5 continue his quest to be 2010 NRL World Champion? This Big Time Matchup also has the extra bonus of FORD versus CHEVY! Are YOU a FORD Fan? CHEVY Fan? Or Something Else?

#42 Juan Montoya lost his final 2 races to #2 Kurt Busch by 2 points each, and had his chances to win in Race #4 at Atlanta with 2 laps to go, but had a bad restart to lose. Race #3 and #4 were the key races in this classic series, and both racers will always remember that final restart with 2 laps to go with the season on the line for #42. #2 won this series 3 Race to 1 with the two classic 2 points wins.

NRL BONUS COVERAGE: #99 VS #12 RIVALRY, and INTENTIONAL WRECK!

Where do YOU stand on the intentional wreck of #99 Carl Edwards wrecking #12 Brad Keselowski at the end of the Atlanta race on March 7th, 2010?? #99 was over 150 laps behind in the race while #12 was in the Top 10, and with 2 laps to go #99 just bulldozed #12, and the #12 car flipped with fence in full view (shades of horrible #99 Talladega wreck last year that injured 5 fans) and came crashing down hard on the driver side roof. No fans were injured, and #12 appeared okay. #12 says it is now in the hands of Nascar. Okay NRL Players, what would YOU do with #99?? Probation? Fine? Suspend him for a Race? Nothing at all? YOU DECIDE!!! NOTE: #99 was eliminated in the 1st Round of the NRL Tournament, and #12 is a future prospect of NRL and both racers should be in the All Star Challenge late this summer.

UPDATE: The penalty given to #99 Carl Edwards on March 9th, 2010, was a 3 race probation. (Basically nothing). Do you AGREE or DISAGREE?? WELCOME to the BRAND NEW WORLD of Nascar where Wrecking on purpose is now allowed without Race Suspension!!! WOW!!

#2 KURT BUSCH WINS ATLANTA RACE #4!!!

W-O-W!!! WHAT A WILD NRL RACE ENDING AT ATLANTA!!! WITH 2 LAPS TO GO IT WAS A RESTART WITH #2 KURT BUSCH AND #42 JUAN MONTOYA ON THE FRONT ROW. #2 NEEDED TO WIN TO ADVANCE IN THE TOURNAMENT, AND #42 NEEDED TO WIN TO TIE THE SERIES AT 2 ALL. #2 BLEW AWAY #42 ON THE RESTART, AND WENT ON TO WIN THE ATLANTA RACE! HE DEFEATED #42 IN THE PROCESS, AND ADVANCES IN THE 2010 NRL TOURNAMENT!! IT IS ON TO ROUND #2 FOR #2 KURT BUSCH!! CONGRATS KURT!!!

NRL RACE #4 PREVIEW: 7 out of 8 Matchups are STILL ALIVE!!

Race #4 Questions:
* Can #83 Vickers defeat #14 Stewart to tie the Series?

* Can #24 Gordon continue his rally over #33 Bowyer?
* Can #39 Newman pull off another late race rally over #11 Hamlin?
* Can #17 Kenseth recover from his narrow 1 point loss to #5 Martin and win?
* Can #42 Montoya recover from two 13 point races and score a big win over #2 Kurt Busch?
* Can #31 Burton continue to put heavy pressure on #48 and score a close win?

WOW!! RACE #3 MATCHUP EXCITEMENT!!!

6 out of 8 NRL Matchups decided by 6 or less points! And 4 of those Matchups decided by 2 or less points!!! WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!! ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN in the NRL!!!

#16 GREG BIFFLE SWEEPS #99 CARL EDWARDS!

3 narrow defeats of losing by 3 points, 3 points, and 2 points have eliminated the popular Columbia, Missouri Racer #99 Carl Edwards. 52 out of 62 Players predicted #99 to win over #16, and it didn't happen.
