Top Picks:
Rusty came about 1/4 of a lap from getting his 3rd win and being locked into the Chase... His driver Harvick (2nd) was the class of the field, but in the end Gordon took the checkered flag. His 2nd place finish jumps him up 2 places, but he would have loved to have grabbed that 3rd win. A very nice bounce back from last week's BSOTW honors.
Logano finished 4th. Skidmarks is back into the 2nd place spot and also bounces back from last week's BSOTW and Penguin remains in the 4th spot.
Asleep picked 6th place Edwards. He moves up to a tie for 8th, but only 4 points out of that 7th place Chase qualifying spot. Check out the new column.
Eh:
Rookie Kyle Larsen (12th) was this week's most popular pick. He didn't get yet another top 10 finish, but he did not sh*t the bed. He continues to impress and I am hoping he gets a win this season and is a part of this thing at the end. Leader Chonk "This is Why I'm Hot" Motorsports, 5th Place Piston, 7th Place Dust, Chase Qualifier Rowdy (Bounces back from the dirtiest bed from last week), and Empty (Crawls out of the Dutch Oven) all took the impressive rookie.
13th place Keselowski was the 2nd most popular pick this week. The #2 car looked strong and was definitely a pre-race favorite, but I think that late pit stop was a killer for him and kept him out of a top finish.
Pursuit (also is only 4 points out of that 7th place Chase spot), Shepard, Rasta (Also crawls out of the oven from the Netherlands), Ideal (Rebounds from last week's BSOTW as well).
Graziano and A-Game chose 16th place Biffle. Graziano drops back to 3rd while A-Game remains in the basement, but it's still early.
DOOTW:
Kiss chose 23rd place finisher Bowyer. Kiss drops a spot to 6th, but remains in a Chase spot, but a BSOTW and DOOTW in back to back weeks may be a cause for concern for his team.... except for the fact that he has 2 wins.
BSOTW:
Beef took 29th place finisher Kurt Busch. His two wins and him continue a free fall that started 3 weeks ago when he was sitting comfortably in 5th. BSOTW, DOOTW, BSOTW and he is now tied for 13th. But he has two wins... so I think he'll be just fine.
Other Ramblings:
We get a weekend off due to the All Star Weekend. Charlotte will be here before you know it!
Hopefully the new standings formatting will be helpful to see who would be in and who would be out if the Chase started today. Plus the points out of the Bonus Qualifying spots column should hopefully be helpful information... Thanks for the suggestions Chonk.
Bonus Stat:
Finishes posted this week from teams that participated in a manly 4 dude midnight hot tub session in Myrtle Beach -
Chonk 12th
Dust 12th
Beef 29th
Redneck Racing - Needs to rejoin the League.
I think we know the moral to that story...
Cheers!
