It seems the COT is limiting the damage of bumping and banging as Martinsville came and went without too many ruffled feathers. I guess we should not have posted a story on Denny Hamlin as he had some bad luck in the form of Jimmie Johnson moving him out the way en route to yet another grandfather clock.
Folks were completely dialed in for the short track at Martinsville at the aggregate scores were among the highest ever recorded for our league. Team Taser, who had a sensational rookie campaign a year ago, led the way as the only racer over 1100 points. He had no room to rest as AFC Patriots, Glynn^, The Big LeBowski and Burke were off his right rear wing. 56 drivers scored over 1000 points.
Speaking of Burke, we wish him a speedy recovery from some under the hood work he had to undergo. We will keep his beer cold in the interim.
BAHL managed to retake the lead and win the first of six segments. Since his highest finish ever is 12th, he likely will drop back in the field after the first set of pit stops, which is now as the boxes will change for this weeks race at Texas Motor Speedway. The Blue Deuce*, WTF Racing, Ratatack and Brian Racing* round out our top five. Seventeen drivers are still within 200 points from the lead while 3 drivers have top tens 50% of the time, which at the end of day will guarantee a strong finish. Five drivers have 2 top fives, most notably former champ Glynn^. Needless to say, top five finishes bode well.
Racescore keep stats on the segment leaders so you can check it for the segment two leaders as we progress.
As previously mentioned, this weeks race is at Texas Motor Speedway, which is one of the fastest track on the circuit. The green flag drops at @2:16PM. You may not want to miss qualifying, which provided some real excitement last season. Refresh your memory:
