Welcome to the Chase Mofos! Well we are bunched up to start the 2016 Chase and race for the chips. Some familiar teams running atop the leaderboard, but we are a long way from sorting this 1st round out.
Race Recap:
Rusty and Shepard had the TOP PICK Keselowski who finished 5th. Rusty jumps up 2 spots into a tie for 1st and Shepard jumps up 2 spots to 3rd just 4 points off the lead.
Beef took Kenseth (9th) for a nice TOP 10 finish. Beef jumps up 2 spots to 5th.
The rest of the Chasers had an EH... kind of race finishing from 11th to 20th.
OTHER RAMBLINGS:
So no one really shit the bed and no one locked in... and more importantly no one is out of it as 28 points separate the 1st and 9th spots.
An early observation shows that the Bonus Points are playing a big part in where you guys stand after the 1st race. The Rookies find themselves on the outside looking in after the dust settles in Chicago. Can it be overcome? Absolutely. 7 and 10 points are the difference between the 7th, 8th and 9th place.
Piston and Rusty are leading the pack as we have seen all year but these preliminary rounds are all about survival.
Oh yeah... a win in the next 2 races will automatically put you into the Teaser Round... so there's that. Just another thing for you guys to worry about. Must be nice.
New Hampshire on Sunday.
Good luck to all!
Cheers!
For tie breaker purposes I will keep posting this info:
technically, rusty truck should be in 1st, as he currently holds the tiebreaker, no?
