Round 23 of Kentucky

OOC This race will take me at least 2-3 weeks to fully publish due to all the one-offs and DDS drivers running in this one.
There will be 80 drivers entered, and each qualifying session will have 12 cars, except Qual-G which will have 8.
The format for this race will be as follows:
Qualifying Session G
Qualifying Session F
Qualifying Session E
Qualifying Session D
Qualifying Session C
Qualifying Session B
Qualifying Session A
Each of the top 4 drivers out of the qualifying sessions make the main event.
Semi 1
Semi 2
Semi 3
Based on overall relevance in the qualifying sessions, each non-qualifying driver will be put into a semi. The top 3 from each semi make the main event.
LCQ1
LCQ2
Each LCQ will contain 22 of the 44 drivers not yet locked into the main. The top 3 from LCQ1 and the top 2 from LCQ2 make the main, and every other driver gets put into the Josh Trainor Consolation Race.
Josh Trainor Consolation Race
This race features the 39 drivers who did not make the main event.
Speed Qualifying for the Main
Each driver that makes the main will run 1 lap on track to go for the pole position for the main.
Kentucky 400 Main Event- 267 laps, 400 miles.

The idea of this race is similar to the NASCAR K&N Pro finale, where the East and West drivers combine and compete against each other for points in their respective series. All of the DDS drivers will receive DDS points and the CTRS regulars gain CTRS points. If they are in both series they earn points for both.

Based on the drivers in each session, here are my predictions on the hardest QS'es to get out of if you are a one off.
Easiest- QSG
2. QSF
3. D
4. C
5. A
6. B
Hardest- E (Roush, Moss, Nawasaki, Rehall, Roberts, Sandfer, 6 one off DDS drivers)
Note: We are guaranteed at least THREE one offs in the main because QSG only has one CTRS regular, PH Williams.
E is the hardest because there are 3 drivers in E that have multiple wins this season, along with the most consistent driver in the entire field in Jake Moss and two rookies associated with ClimberTech in Nawasaki and Roberts.

All credit goes to Kenny Myatt for this format. None of this was an original idea, mainly rip offs from the S22 A700.

Qual Session G:
1. Ryan Yarbough
2. Baron Von Blubba
3. Ingrid Weiss
4. Wilson Wallace
OUT:
5. Henry Williams
6. Sakato Yamazaki

8. Darren Weber
DQ: Bill Braddock Jr.- Bill wiped out Sakato Yamazaki trying to get to pit road and damaged both cars, then Sakato spun out on pit road. Bill's actions warranted a warning by the CTRS as Bill is not a full time driver.

Suspension to Charlie Jackson for 2 races non-replaceable for being desperately slow on track and causing numerous crashes, including the crash setting up the late GWC finish.

OOC: Time to work on that INI. It was good but the crashes were insane.
