Last-place, tail end of the field, the worst finishing position in the race.
One of the biggest disappoints in a driver's career is to finish last in a race by any means, be it a crash, mechanical problem, or even a Disqualification. Since 2009, Brock Beard has covered the top three series of the real life NASCAR scene by detailing who finishes last on his site, LASTCAR. Brock does an incredible job giving notice to those teams and drivers who don't get a chance to have the spotlight shine down on them when it comes to being covered by the television broadcast.
Back in 2017, I had the honor of contacting Brock about allowing me to use the idea for my own YouTube racing league. Sure, the idea isn't copyrighted, and I could have just done it without asking, but I feel that Brock deserved the respect and recognition before I forged ahead with my own coverage. And so, I did, for each and every series and race I did, I single-handily wrote each and every single blog post that has been posted to this site, trying to use the same formula and setup Brock did and bring it to life with each race.
As fun as it has been covering all the races the past six years, I have come to the realization that doing it for EVERY single series I do will be extremely time consuming, and with more series to have yet to debut, the amount of coverage of these series as well as having to write up them up will cut into not only the posting of the races, but for the blogs themselves. I don't regret writing a single one of them as it has given me the chance to give coverage to the drivers of my league who don't also get screen time as well as helping my own writing get better over time.
So, with that being said, what happens to the SCRLASTCAR blog? Well, I am happy to announce that starting right now, the SCRL's coverage of LASTCAR will NOT come to a complete end. The SCRL's coverage will continue to cover all three of the SCRL's NASCAR Division: the Grand National Series(Cup), Busch Grand National Series(Xfinity) and the Rainbow Dash Truck Series. The SCRL ARCA Series, the SCRL IndyCar, Tim Hortons, NASCAR Legends, Formula One and Whelen Series will all continue to have coverage, but records will not be kept on the site. Any other remaining series, or future series have yet to debut will NOT be covered by this blog and will focus on it's attention on the main series that we cover.
For those that have stopped by this blog, I thank you and hopefully you have enjoyed these wacky coverages of races I've been doing since 2013 as a league and 2017 as a blogger, and I hope that you all remain as the SCRL continues to grow and puts on some of the best racing YouTube has to offer.
