Spade Racing Lowbuck Team Tournament--Semifinal Results



Saturday Night's race at Kansas seemed to have it all--last-second drama (Harvick's charge for the lead), unexplained drama (the lights going out), and, seeing as how this is the 2014 season, extremely irritating drama (the weather delay).  But it also had Lowbuck drama, as the four remaining teams in the Spade Racing Lowbuck Team Tournament duked it out on the track for a shot at the finals.  Here's the results:
1. 51 (Justin Allgaier) over 4. 40 (Landon Cassill)--An early wreck seemed to take out half of the Lowbuck entrants, including virtually every fast-food sponsored team.  Landon Cassill was caught up, and had to settle for 42nd place.  Justin Allgaier, running in the top-20 most of the race, was able to comfortably cruise to a victory, even though a later crash relegated him to a 36th-place finish.
7. 7 (Michael Annett) over 3. 36 (Reed Sorenson)--Michael Annett's cinderella run continues!  Annett, while not in a contending car, was able to avoid most of the day's on-track trouble and finish a solid, if not spectacular, 25th.  Sorenson, meanwhile, gave a valiant effort, only to come up short in 32nd-place.
So it appeared that we had our Final set for Friday Night's Sprint Showdown:
1. 51 (Justin Allgaier) vs. 7. 7 (Michael Annett)
...however, the 51 team has announced that they are skipping the Sprint Showdown to focus on the Coke 600.  As a result, all Michael Annett will have to do is start the race, and he will clinch it.
Pretty anticlimactic, eh?
Well, such is life, and such is lowbuck racing.
