Michigan Results - Larson Locks Chonk in the Chase!!! What about the rest of you???

Well lookey here... as guaranteed we had a winner this week.  Congrats to Chonk for locking in!  He now joins Rusty and #Wifey as guaranteed teams in the Chase.  But wait there's more... I can tell you that Piston and Graziano have locked in as well.  They are both more than 90 points away from 9th, so even if they finish last or DQ in the last 2 races they are in... Congrats fellas!  

Race Summary:  Chonk won and picked up 2 huge spots in doing so.  Rusty and Beef each drop a spot in the Elite 8 and the rest of us pretty much stayed the same.  

THROUGH THE FIELD:

LOCKED IN -CHASE HEALTH

 Piston - 1st - Looking good to finish 1 or 2

Graziano - 2nd - Looking good to finish 1 or 2

Chonk - 4th - Could catch 3rd, but will be fighting Rusty and Beef for 4th - 6th in Darlington

Rusty - 5th - Needs to stop the slide, but is in the fight for 4th-6th with Chonk and Beef

#Wifey - 10th - Could get back in the Elite 8, but will need 2 solid weeks and some luck.

ELITE 8 - CHASE HEALTH

Shepard - 3rd - Looking to lock in this week... could catch 2nd and will want to fend of those 4th-6th cars.

Beef - 6th - Needs to stay solid - 37 points ahead of 9th.  Could climb up a couple of spots.
Ideal - 7th - Needs to stay solid - 28 points ahead of 9th.  A solid week this week could decide if he will grab a higher qualifying spot or just try to hang on.  A win could potentially accomplish both.

Dust - 8th - Needs 2 more solid weeks - 15 points clear of 9th
