Slotcarguy has opened a sizeable lead on the field three weeks into the 2010 Sprint Cup season. The team must have studied hard over the winter because you can't argue with the early results. Two winners, two lowest scores of the week and an average score of 31 points. Setting the bar high! With Jimmie Johnson flexing his muscles early in 2010, we saw five teams ride into victory lane with the Lowes Chevrolet for the 2nd consecutive week. Will JJ make is 3 in a row at Atlanta this weekend? Overall, Kart Racer (the former Nustar team) changed his name and posted the lowest score of the week with 20 points. Maybe I should try that! Another recent name changer, RMK (the former myxmasfund team) also cashed in with 21 points last week. I sense a trend. Looks like it will be an exciting season with the RCR team stepping up to provide some competition to Hendrick Racing. Will the Fords show up? Note that the TOP 25 teams will qualify for The Chase in the fall along with those teams that have selected at least 5 winning drivers during The Race to the Chase. Lots of movers and a few losers after Vegas. Here's a sampling: Movers: TheOSUracing Team(7th) moved up 4 positions Losers: Off to Hotlanta this weekend. Hope we get some heat in that track...nice and slippery. Let's keep some distance between the "1" car and the "42" this week! One question. Can Joey Lagano keep up his impressive start to the season on The Home Depot's home track? The Race Coordinator. |
