Picks Review:
Chonk had the top pick this week; Gordon. Gordon finished 2nd and ran well all day. A speeding penalty put him behind the 8-ball, but he recovered and led again, but Jr. was the top dog in Martinsville. Chonk would have loved to get this win, but he does jump from 4th to 1st and has a nice cushion from the 3rd and 4th place spots. Good job Chonk!
Beef took Kenseth who also had his troubles, but a nice 6th place finish keeps Beef in the number 2 spot.
The DOOTW Award has to go to Piston's 16th place McMurray pick. Piston is only 1 point clear of the bottom spot, but if this round ended today he would be in... but it doesn't.
Skidmarks had the BSOTW pick with Johnson. Johnson has disappointed this year when it has counted, but he ran well at Martinsville until he had to come in for a green flag pit stop... this put him way behind and he ended up crashing into Mears to end his day. Skid drop 3 spots from 1st to 4th and would be the odd man out if the round ended today... but it doesn't.
Other Ramblings:
Texas this Sunday. Yee Haw!!!
This week's Texas race will end the Fluffer Round. The top 3 teams will move on to the Nut Buster Round, will have their points reset, and will battle each other for the "chips" over the last two races. Sounds simple, but you have to be in it to win it... and one of these teams will not be in it.
So what will these guys do? Do you feel safe enough to save your best drivers for Phoenix and Homestead? Or do you treat this race like it's your last? With only 14 points separating these teams... no one is safe. A win and you're in, but have you saved the right drivers to navigate to the end of this thing?
Get to the next round and you will definitely be munching on chips amigos! Good luck to all!
Cheers!
