NR2003 Career UI 2025-10-04

Users can now make a driver ineligible for the post season by simply adding a * to their win total on the season standings page (e.g 4*)

Season Results Colors have been updated to match Wikipedia's race result color coding to help enhance authenticity. You can now see your points gaps on the standings page by hovering your cursor over points totals

Added Option for Custom Points Payout in Full Season Points Format and Adjusted Color Coding for Season Results Page, Wins Now Appear White. Points Tie breaker used to be wins only, now follows proper order wins, 2nds, 3rds... and so on

Users can now view all drivers results in one easy to read table. Track names can be edited in the header simply by clicking and typing in your 3 letter track abbreviation. Results are automatically taken from each calendar event.

Only 11-20th in points are eligible for Wild Card spots in the 2011 chase format. Wild Cards are now defined

Issue was found in the rare event the regular season champion went winless they were being added as a 17th playoff driver rather than replacing the winner with the lowest point total. This has now been resolved.

If this event occurs the points leader will be shown in the playoff bubble with their cut line gap displaying "PTS LEADER" drivers outside the playoffs with a win will show their pts gap behind the driver with the lowest point total currently in the playoffs. Drivers outside the playoffs without a win will show their gap behind the winless points leader.

Sorry for the amount of updates. I can only test so many scenarios myself and this issue was found through the help of the community.

If anyone finds more issues please do not hesitate to reach out and ill try my bets to correct them.

Bug was found regarding Kyle and Kurt Busch statistics being combined in some rare cases depending on what car numbers they were using. Issue has been resolved.

DO NOT USE BRIAN AND BRAD KESELOWSKI OR DONNIE AND DAVEY ALLISON IN THE SAME RACE. Their stats will combine.

After completing a full season using the web app I've worked out all bugs and implemented all features. This will be the final version, it is now a stand alone exe. your data will not carry over from the previous version. you can re upload all race result files in bulk for the all time wins list and team ratings pages, career calendar you will have to go one by one for your current season unfortunately.
