FTCS Standings: May 12, 2008: In the FASCAR Thunder Cup Series Standings, Karen Smith missed the Dodge Challenger 500 which means that someone could take over the #1 spot in the FTCS Standings and that one player that took advantage of this was Jason Pruett. Jason Pruett was sitting 3rd last week and was 124 points out of 1st Place, and with a 3rd Place finish this week-end at the Dodge Challenger 500 that was enuff to take over the #1 spot in the FTCS. Despite missing the Dodge Challenger 500 Karen Smith only dropped 1 spot to 2nd Place. Last weeks #2 Player Philip Hamm struggled at the Darlington Raceway this weekend coming home with a 27th Place Finish and drops down 1 spot to 3rd. Moving up 1 spot to 4th is this weeks winner Paul Ouderkirk and rounding out the Top 5 and moving up 2 spots is Kevin Vincavage.
