LMR DarthMario wins the 2nd Running of the WRL Pepsi Max Cup Series Daytona 250
After Dominating the race leading over 40 of the 100 Laps. (More than Twice as much as any other driver) LMR DarthMario won in his first WRL Points Paying Start extending the Streak of WRL/SORA First time winners in their first points paying start.
In a race that saw over 20 caution flags due to lag, Mario was in front of it all for the majority of it working with Ford Teammates Windcharger8199 and hu4ch017.
"It sucks that I finished 5th", said Windcharger, "but I am glad that Mark (DarthMario) won and represented TORA very well. He is a great representation for the league and the TORA Community that I am glad to call him a Ford Teammate and I look forward to trying to win the Manufacturers Championship with him."
The League moves onto Indianapolis Next week for the second of the Triple Crown Races with the final one being Darlington in the Chase for the Cup. Ford has come out of the gate strong, can they keep it up or will Chevrolet or Toyota throw a wrench into their plans for series domination?

NextGreatStorm wins Pole Subbing for x P H 4 N T 8 M
While x P H 4 N T 8 M could not make Qualifying and the Budweiser Duel NextGreatStorm was called in to sub for his Hendrick Motorsport Teammate from the Hutch Racing League and Storm Delievered, not just winning the Pole for the Season opening Daytona 250, but also the Budweiser Duel in Dominating Fashion. However Storms greatest Challenge came from the Duo of Windcharger8199 and LMR DarthMario until they went three wide behind Storm for second place and the 99 got loose.
"Me and Mark tried to rekindle that Indianapolis TORA TCR DTM Magic that we had earlier this year but I guess when I saw the 88 come up the race track, I moved up to avoid causing a massive wreck and I guess when the 88 went back down Mark had enough momentum to bring him to my inside, we hit slightly and I made one helluva save coming off turn 4. But it would have been close at the line if me and Mark could have stayed hooked up." said Windcharger who retained his 4th place qualifying effort finishing the Duel in 4th place.
Storm unfortuneatly wont be in the #88 come Daytona but he will be credited with the pole and the Duel win.

League Returns after 2 year Absence
The WRL Pepsi Max Cup Series returns to the Console after a two year absence after that controversial fallout with the National Online Racing Championship (NORC) and its Owner Revan Lateralus. But that is not stopping Windcharger8199 from restarting his league with fresh faces, 3 returning veterans (himself included) and 2 new drivers to NASCAR Game leagues from the Community Based Racing League called TORA (The Online Racing Association).
"I know some people would think that its gonna fail again. But I know that if the game itself wasn't region locked to US and Canada Residents only then I know people from Britain would sign up and even one of my Australian Teammates over at Allied Forces would sign up." Said Windcharger8199 after announcing his leagues return.
Windcharger had spent the past 2 years racing at SORA (Southern Official Racing Association) which is now shut down and given its DTM League that he runs to the Virtual Racing Federation (VRF). He has also raced at TORA and UpperEdge and has been itching to find a NASCAR League that is worth his time. Although he races in 2 other NASCAR Leagues, things haven't been as smooth sailing as he would have liked even though he won in his first start in the Hutch Racing League.
"I know Porter (Windcharger) has been trying hard for years to get his series to gain exposure and drivers, and it does put a lot of stress on him, but this is something he loves to do and I really hope it succeeds." said Nick Hemlepp one of Windcharger's friends off the race track. "After all the (Explicative) he's been through he deserves to have his league succeed."
Is he worried about the NORC drivers trying to discredit him, no not really he says, as they do not have anything on the experience that he has gained from UpperEdge and the popularity and reputation he has rebuilt with the help of UpperEdge, TORA and Allied Forces. Although he still says that he would not allow 95% of Current or Former NORC Drivers in his leagues after all the crap they have put him through and still try to not let him live down.
"They suspended me, attacked me on Facebook and blatantly bullied me because Revan was one who plaid favorites. I was targeted by another driver and when I had words with him after a F1 2011 League Race I was suspended and blocked. They even attack me in OMTT on Facebook and it quite frankly has gotten old. I am over it and they need to move on and stop acting like little spoiled children." Windcharger stated. "Its sad when a group of people have to bully someone else, make them feel bad just to pump up their egos. And for a league that strives on fairness, I have not seen it since I have been suspended. You also know its bad when the league owner forces off Assist in F1 2013 just because he can run without them when most people cant. NASCAR I can understand because the handling is pretty solid and Traction Control is not an issue with the games that Eutechnyx has put out. But Codemasters does a better job at making their games that running an F1 Car with No TCS or Stability control is virtually impossible for most people. But I guess hes just frustrated that he hasn't won a NASCAR Series Championship yet that he has to make it harder on people just so he can win championships in other series."
Even with those strong remarks, Windcharger doesn't think that starting his races 2 hours prior to the NORC's First NASCAR Series timeslot on Friday nights would be a problem as he expects the series to grow as the seasons go on. Maybe slowly at first, but he would love to see multiple lobbies in season 3.

UpperEdge Rule Book Adopted
Even Though the UpperEdge Racing Series has moved over to iRacing full time. Their Rulebook is still a great base for racing leagues on the Console. Windcharger8199 the series owner and WRL Founder has adopted the current iRacing rulebook and has made some changes to fit the console series.
"I have always thought that Ryan (AnF Knight on Xbox) has always had a great rule set. True when we started out we had the same rulebook as the National Online Racing Championship (NORC) and then after UpperEdge I found out who was really doing their series right. UpperEdge will always be a part of what I do, whether actually racing in UpperEdge or partnering with them in the DTM or other console series."
The Series starts on July 16th with Qualifying and the Budweiser Duels for the 2nd Running of the WRL Pepsi Max Cup Series Daytona 250 with another Triple Crown Event following the Next week at Indianapolis for the Brickyard 200. Be Sure to keep tuned to the Website for more News and Updates that are to come.
