Indy Results - Shepard Takes Race Winner Kahne and Locks Himself In!!!!!! Spinning Takes the Lead!

The Brickyard 400 was dominated by Kyle Busch during Stages 1 & 2, but early on in Stage 3 Truex ended any hope of the 18 getting his 1st win of the year by wrecking both of the strongest cars out of the race.  Kahne took advantage and took home the checkered flag and got Shepard his 3rd win of the season to lock his arse in!  He also moves up a spot to 2nd just 4 points out of the top spot.  Plus 3 bonus points for the Chase.  Simple game.  Congratulations Shepard!!!

Kyle Busch grabbed Rusty, Lets Go, Pursuit and Chicken 2 Bonus Points for winning Stage 1 & 2, but only Rusty and Lets Go are currently in the Elite 8.  Kyle earned 23 points for his strong early performance so it could have been much worse.

Spinning took McMurray who earned 27 points and Fast took Johnson who earned only 12 points... meaning that we have a new leader ladies and gentlemen.  Spinning moves up a spot to the top while Fast drops 3 to 4th.  Congrats Spinning!  I know Fast will rebound this week in the Poconos.

With 6 races to go before the Chase, the picture is getting clearer.   We have 5 teams locked in and only 2 are in the Elite 8.  6 more teams have 2 wins and will be looking to get locked in during the next 6 races while battling for those potential Bonus Points.  The question is will you use all of your stuff getting to the playoffs?  Lets check on your CHASE HEALTH:

New Hampshire Results - Hamlin Gets a Huge Win

LARSON PENALTY UPDATE:  It looks like Rusty got hit with the Larson penalty and NASCAR granted him 8 race points for the Kentucky race... I had him 1st in the standings on the spreadsheet, but on further review the site updated his points to reflect the penalty shown on NASCAR.COM.  Sorry Rusty.

RACE RECAP:

Wow!  Hamlin was solid all day and dominated late in the race to take New Hampshire away from Larson and Truex.  Defending Champ Beef and 2007 Champ Pursuit (who DQ'd last week and lost his 2nd Truex Pick) are now the 3rd and 4th teams to lock into the Chase!!!!!  Congrats fellas!

Rusty and Penguin get a stage Bonus Point for Truex winning Stage 1 and Graziano gets a Bonus Point for Kyle Busch winning Stage 2.  They needed their drivers to come through with the win, but it beats a kick in the nads...

OTHER RAMBLINGS:

Brickyard 400 this week on Sunday... a lot of us need lots of help with 7 races to go!  Time to put the pedal to the metal boys and girls!!!

Good Luck to All!

Cheers!

Kenfucky Results - Kyle Busch was Top Pick - No Bonus Points This Week

8 races to go before the Chase and there are some teams in trouble... 9 teams had a solid week and Fast, Piston, Lets Go, Skid and Dust had the TOP PICK.

Pursuit had a DQ and burns a Truex pick, while Rudd and Chicken BSOTW'd with Johnson and Penguin really BSOTW'd with Keselowski.

No Bonus Points for anyone, but those with less than 3 wins and out of the Elite 8 better get their sh*t together...

New Hampshire tomorrow!

Good Luck!

Daytona Results - Stenhouse Wins for Rusty and Ideal!!!!

Congrats to Rusty and Ideal for picking Stenhouse who navigated through the carnage to grab win #2 for Rusty who jumps up 3 spots to 3rd... just 7 points out of the top spot!  Ideal grabs win #4, jumps up 2 spots to 12th and is just 48 points away from the Elite 8.  Will he go for the Bonus Points or save his stuff for the Chase???  They pick up 3 potential Bonus Points to boot.  Congrats on a solid week fellas!

For the rest of us, I have to say that Dust did the best as he jumps up 2 spots to 6th.  Kahne got him 23 points on a day where most of the League earned 17 points or worse.  Graziano gained 10 points on the Elite 8 with his 27 point McMurray pick, but he is still in last and 122 points back with 0 wins.
The rest of us sucked, but we didn't lose any ground on the leaders.
