And we are into the chase! Just….
The Australian NASCAR Truck Series Powered by CT Electrical regular season is complete after 11 rounds, and the Chase field is now locked in.
Dave Olejniczak claims the Regular Season Championship, finishing with a 37-point margin over Keith Hackney. After securing a charter mid-season, Olejniczak put together a near-perfect run at the right time to take control of the standings and carry that momentum into the Chase.
Hackney, who dominated the early rounds, finishes second after leading much of the season, while Brad M Newman closes out the regular season in third following one of the strongest comeback drives of the year. Angus Lawford and Josh Michelmore round out the top five as the leading contenders heading into the postseason.
The final 12 drivers advancing to the Chase are now confirmed:
Olejniczak, Hackney, Newman, Lawford, Michelmore, Borg, Freer, Rankin, Faulkner, Danson, Curtis, Bleakley
After a brutal final stretch, several drivers narrowly miss out, with Ryan M Barber, Kutay Dal, Jason Holdsworth, and Blaine Densley all falling short after being in contention late in the season.
With the reset now coming into play, the championship fight tightens once again. The Chase begins next week — and from here, it’s all or nothing.
