Richmond Results - Edwards Wins Again - But Nobody Picked Him BUT We Have a Little Shuffling Going On!!!

Howdy Amigos!  No team picked up a win in Richmond but many teams had solid finishes.  A couple of teams in the elite 8 struggled while one team on the outside looking in had the top pick.  All in all just over half of the teams shuffled places this week, but no one jumped more than 1 spot up and no one fell more than 2 spots down.  

TOP PICKS:

Skidmarks had the top pick of Kyle Busch (2nd).  Skid moves from a tie for 11th into a tie for 10th and is only 13 points out of the Elite 8.  Nice job Skid!!!

#Wifey (5th +1 spot) and Dust (8th +1 spot) took 3rd Place Johnson. 

Wheels (2nd +1 Spot), Graz (4th), Empty (5th +1 spot) took 5th place Harvick.

Kiss stays in 13th with his 6th place Hamlin Pick.

Rusty (1st), Penguin (12th -1 spot), and Chonk (14th) took Logano who rallied back to an 8th place finish.

Ideal (10th) and Pursuit (15th) took 10th place finisher Kurt Busch.

EH...:

Beef (9th -1 spot) took 11th place Keselowski and Shepard (7th -2 spots) took 13th place Dale Jr.

Neither of these pics were terrible but they do lose valuable spots this week.

DOOTW/BSOTW:

Piston (3rd -1 spot) took Allmendinger who finished 25th.  Piston only drops 1 spot but loses valuable points this week.  I love it when my BSOTWs are only a 25th place finish.  Not too bad considering...

OTHER RAMBLINGS:

Talladega this week on Sunday.  A little earlier start time this week, so get those picks in.

Skidmarks had a nice finish this week but not great results in the standings.  If you look at this League race by race it can be a little frustrating on races like this.  The tough thing about this week is he only gains 3 points on 8th and 7 points on 1st, because 12 of the 15 teams had top 10 finishes.  However, you have to keep your eye on the big picture and feel good about each and every point gained over the course of the season as you try and position yourself for the Post Season.  Hell yes a win would have been great and losing it like he did must have been excruciating, but a solid week is always a very good thing... especially during this phase of the season.   

I'm hoping Dega is an awesome race and not just a bunch of drafting until a final lap of carnage... unless my pick wins of course.

Cheers!
