Hola Amigos... I'm just sitting her watching my Astros put another beat down on the Yankees... not sure why that is important to the NASCAR League, but it just has a nice ring to it. Let's get to it.
In the crap shoot that is Talladega we had 4 teams choose TOP PICK Stenhouse and saw him get his 1st win... 3 of our teams Penguin, Spinning, and Sexy get their 1st win this year and Fast gets their 3rd win and is already locked and loaded for this year's Chase! Pretty impressive rookies! Congrats to the other 3 as well. Fast, Penguin, and Spinning run 1,2,3 at the moment and Sexy jumps up 3 spots to 11th. Look at all that green on the board... 3 bonus points are earned to boot!
OTHER TOP PICKS:
Shepard grabs a bonus point by picking stage 1 winner Keselowski who earned 40 race points and keeps Shepard in 5th place. Hamlin gets Beef a Bonus Point for his Stage 2 win. Beef moves up 1 to 15th and has some work to do, but we have plenty of races to go before any of this is settled. Nice job on the stage wins Boys!
Pursuit took Kurt Busch who brought it home in 6th place. Pursuit jumps up a spot and into the Elite 8! Lets Go took Menard who had a solid top ten finish. Lets Go remains in 6th and seems to be poised to hang around the Elite 8 from the looks of it so far.
EH...:
Harvick and Bowyer each earned Kiss and Rusty 23 points. Kiss drops a spot to 4th and Rusty hangs on to 7th, so not all that bad considering.
DOOTW:
Talladega and Dale Jr. go hand and hand, but the most popular pick and Vegas favorite had a disappointing 19th place finish. Dust, Skid, Ideal, Rudd, and Graziano get held under the covers and dusted this week. Dust (no pun intended) drops out of the Elite 8 to 9th... just 1 spot. Skid stays in 10th while Ideal (13th), Rudd (14th), and Graziano (16th) each drop 1 spot this week.
BSOTW:
Piston and Chonk get the stinky sheets this week by taking 39th place finisher Blaney who at least earned some nice stage 1 and 2 points... I know this is no consolation for these 2 struggling out of the gate teams. Piston drops a spot to 12th, but is only 43 points out of the Elite 8... Chonk however has seemed to have lost the draft. History will tell you not to count Chonk out of this thing just yet.
OTHER RAMBLINGS:
Kansas tomorrow night!
The track looks pretty slick... even though it is Kansass, this may get interesting with conditions like this.
Cheers!
Fat Penguin
