Fast Loser

A Fast Loser is a term in monster truck racing where the losing truck from a round of racing with the fastest clocked time advances to the next round. This is done whenever the number of trucks in a line-up is not divisible down to one winner: For example, the fast loser is not used whenever the truck line-up is 8, 16, etc. For other numbers, it is used because one of the rounds ends up with an odd number of trucks, so returning one truck converts the number to even, and the brackets continue as normal.
