Sorry for the late post again... and my apologies to Gordon for hoping he would take the Chase this year. Penguin took 1st place Johnson to take an 18 point lead with two races left and no drivers left to pick. Rasta falls out of the tie for the top spot with his 14th place Truex Jr. pick. However, Skidmarks moves into the 3rd money spot with his Truex Jr. pick. Beef passes Graziano with his 13th place Kyle Busch pick and Graziano falls out of the money spot with the BSOTW Gordon pick (38th).
Asleep continues his solid Chase run with 4th place Kenseth pick, while Piston keeps slowly gaining ground. This week they took 2nd place Dale Jr. to move within 19.
So two races left... Phoenix tomorrow and Homestead next week. Penguin (yes I am speaking in the third person) has Newman, Biffle, and maybe Hamlin who is showing some signs of being the driver he once was. Asleep has a few more options: Logano, Edwards, Truex Jr. to protect the Chase lead.
I know everyone is in the same boat, but the decisions made for the next two races will be critical as still nothing has been determined.
I still have the question on how far back can one come to take one of the top spots. Can Empty still take 3rd? If Piston made a run for the 3rd spot, could they also take the Chase? Who knows if any of the possible scenarios in my mind will play out. All I know is I do not feel comfortable with my 18 point lead and still feel that there is a lot of work left to do... and possibly a little praying.
Cheers!
