2016 March Madness NASCAR Style: Final Four

Behind the Wall Final Four

By Richard Tix

It's the last weekend until Championship week at Bristol Motor Speedway. This week Texas Motor Speedway where everything is bigger will decide who advances to the finals. Last week we took a shot at some short track racing to shake up the bracket and see who would come out in the Fourth Final Four in the Behind the Wall bracket.

Below you can check out who advanced and who will match up this week. Take a quick look at how it works below and then take a good look at who will face off during the Duck Commander 500 at TMS.

Rules and Bracket Breakdown

• Brackets were decided by current standings after the race at Las Vegas. Four Divisions, top 4 in the standings got the #1 seeds, 5-8 in the standings got the #2 seeds, 9-12 #3 seeds and so on.
• From the standings the rankings were given out serpentine style. Meaning: The driver ranked 5th (first #2 seed) started in the lowest #1 seed's bracket. That continues until the three seeds where it then goes from top back down.
• Here is how the rounds break down by race (first race we have two eliminations to speed it up).
• Phoenix: Round 32 
• Auto Club: Sweet 16
• Martinsville: Elite 8
• Texas: Final Four
• Bristol: Championship
• The driver that finishes Highest in the race moves on, no bonus points included (Think the last Chase Race)

Well, the NCAA Men's basketball tournament is all over. An exciting final game between UNC and Villanova capped off another fun year (except for the fact that I am a UNC fan so the last game was tough). In the NASCAR world we will head to Texas Motor Speedway to decide who will run Bristol for the fourth annual championship. Kyle Busch was the only #1 seed to advance past the Elight Eight after winning at Martinsville last week. This will be all four drivers second trip to the Final Four on Behind the Wall. JoLo last season and Carl Edwards in 2014 have both made the Championship once (both losing). So, we could have two drivers make their second Championship appearance or have two new guys take a shot at it.
