Picks Summary:
2nd Place finisher, Gordon was the top pick this week by Skidmarks. Skid jumps into 4th (only 4 points out of 1st) and has a slim 8 point cushion from Shepard.
Chonk took Kyle Busch (5th) and moves to within 3 points of the top spot.
Piston took Edwards (8th) and moves to within 1 point of the top spot.
Beef took 10th place finisher Kahne and holds onto the lead, but has that sweet win in the Teaser Round and is basically locked in for the Fluffer Round.
Shepard drops to 5th with his 11th place Kurt Busch pick. He is still 12 points back from 1st, but you can see he has dropped back off of the pace being set by the 4 other teams. Hard to call this a BSOTW or DOOTW, but we'll have to say both for this week.
Other Ramblings:
Did I mention Talladega this week on Sunday???
Did I mention that it is the final race of the Teaser Round???
With Charlotte in our rear view mirror and one Teaser Race left to go (Dega), we still have 3 spots up for grabs. Talladega will be very interesting and uncomfortable for all the remaining teams as they battle for points heading into the Fluffer Round... if they make it. What we do know is Beef is in... unless the other 4 teams pick the same driver and that driver happens to win... meanwhile Beef's pick shits the bed and falls to 5th. I can tell you this: Beef is moving on and preparing to be fluffed.
What I can't tell you is who will go with him. 11 points separate the 4 other teams and Talladega has always been a crapshoot. Will one of our teams not named Beef have a BSOTW??? What if Shepard grabs a win??? 3 points separate Piston, Chonk and Skid...
Remember: Points are still important as they will still accumulate for the next 3 races, so you have to keep this in mind as you make your selections this week.
All I can say is good luck to you guys and I am excited to see how it plays out!
Cheers!
