Grand National Drivers List
The updated driver list for the Grand National Pioneers Series.
Eleven drivers added from Pete Adams’ ‘Local Yokels’ freebie set.
That’s 60+ drivers vying for 43 starting grid spots, even though I know that starting grids were much bigger back then.
No changes to the race schedule.
The first and last races are held on fictional race tracks, which I’ve located in Hanford, Washington and Fresno, California.
Stay tuned!
Pepsi Racing League: Race #18
The Series Finale!
The Pepsi 400 from the Southern Super Speedway.
Race results and final standings:
Final race results:
The 2016 Pepsi Cup Racing Series comes to an end.
PLAAY doesn’t appear to be releasing another Truck Series car set, so this is it. No more truck racing.
I do believe that some of these drivers appear in later PLAAY SCRAM series. I may transfer Louttit, Gayle and Saguisag to one of these other series, someday. Perhaps the 2018 SCRAM-B series?
Next up: the Grand National Pioneers Series begins!
Stay tuned!
