## Championship

### 3rd

Winford Bradford Rutherford

The **2006 Piston Cup Season** was the 63rd season of the Piston Cup Racing Series. This season sparked great change as Chick Hicks now had a bone to pick with every other racer after causing the King's Crash the previous year. Almost all of his attempts at wrecking racers failed either due to his age or other racers wrecking him. After placing poorly in the rankings, Chick Hicks retired after the season.

## Changes

### Points

To prevent another tie in a standings, racers will receive a 10 point bonus for the most laps led.

### New rookies

All sponsors from last year stayed with 1 new rookie, Cal Weathers in the number 42 for Dinoco replacing Strip Weathers.
