Another short track race has come and gone, and another week of shuffling has taken place. No team picked race winner Kurt Busch, but many teams had a nice points day. The Eh...'s, DOOTW, and BSOTW picks were not too terrible, but there was plenty movement in the standings after Richmond... let's get to it.
TOP PICKS:
Skidmarks took McMurray who finished 4th. Skid jumps up a spot into 2nd and is just 6 points out of the top spot. Skidmarks has hung around the top all season long and looks quite comfortable at the head of the pack. Congratulations on another strong week Skidmarks!
Penguin and Chonk took pole sitter and 5th place finisher Logano. Penguin jumps up 3 spots to 6th and is back into Club Ocho Primo! Chonk jumps up one spot and is out of the basement where he has sat for the last 5 races. Our reigning champ* is sitting 71 points out of 8th and 115 points back overall with 0 wins and will need to put a nice run together to get himself in position to defend his title*. Let's see if he will be one of those teams to make a run as we near the end of the Spring semester of our league. Well done guys!
Dust and Rasta took 7th place Kenseth. Dust moves up a spot into 4th. Dust has been a member of Club Ocho Primo all season long... his low has been 7th and his high 2nd. Zero wins though... so he'll have to keep it up or start getting some wins to ensure his postseason spot. Rasta stays in 13th and is still trying to recover from his DQ in Phoenix. 2 top 5's and a Top 10 since the DQ has helped him get to within shouting distance of Club Ocho Primo... can he string a few more top finishes together??? Let's see. Nice job fellas!
Asleep took Bowyer who had a nice 9th place finish. Asleep is only 24 points out of Club Ocho Primo and 68 points out overall... he has 1 win and could possibly be in 5th within 1 race under the right circumstances. A few more solid races will make a difference for this team for sure. Keep it up Asleep!
EH...:
Rusty, Ideal, and Piston took 17th place finisher Brad K. Rusty remains in 1st and is still 6 points clear of 2nd with 2 wins. Ideal stays in 5th with 2 wins and Piston jumps up a spot to 9th... just 5 points out of Club Ocho Primo with 1 win. No harm really for this so so finish by one of the race favorites.
DOOTW:
Kiss the wall took 19th place finisher Edwards. This is really an Eh... finish since Kiss only loses one spot (8th), but he is only 5 points clear of 9th place. Kiss has 2 wins, so no panic for this team.
BSOTW:
Hamlin's 22nd place finish gives Empty (3rd), Graziano (7th), Shepard (10th), Beef (11th), Pursuit (15th) the BSOTW award this week. Empty (1 win) drops a spot for the 2nd week in a row... notable since he was in 1st just 2 races ago. Graz (0 wins) drops 3 spots to 7th just 7 points clear of 9th. Shepard (1 win) drops 2 spots and is now out of Club Ocho Primo. Beef (1 win) stays in 11th and is just 23 points out of Club Ocho Primo. Pursuit (1 win) drops 1 spot and has taken over the basement from Chonk. 76 points out of 8th and 120 points back overall... Pursuit will need to make a high Speed rally to become a factor in this thing...
Having said all of that... I would take a 22nd place BSOTW any day.
Other Ramblings:
Talladega this Sunday... another shake up possibility???
1st through 8th could still swap places... 5th through 12th could also, so we are still in the same place as we were last week as far as that goes.
Good luck on Sunday during the crap shoot fellas!
Cheers!
