Week 19 Commentary

Brad Keselowski dominated the weekend at New Hampshire International Speedway, becoming the first racer to sweep the weekend.  His performance in his Red Apple Ford in the Cup race was most impressive.  Certainly, the Penske Racing Ford team has to be considered a favorite for The Chase.

Jimmie Johnson has a horrible day, his day having ended after a single car crash as a result of a blown tire.  Kevin Harvick ran out of gas, continuing issues with his crew, while 72 year old Morgan Shepherd, some 15 laps down, collected Joey Logano and ended his day.  Logano was running second at the time, and was not pleased.  Racers with those guys did not score well.

Smoke's Fury and Blue 7 tied for the checkers this week, posting blistering scores. in the draft,  Blind Squirrel Racing, FLYNC5 and KDog Racing tied for third.

Glynn chose a few of drivers mentioned above, and lost first place to Team Taser.  Glynn settled in at second place, with Smoke's Fury moving up to third, No Ones Beatch and KDog Racing rounding out the top five.

With all the good teams with poor finishes, you may have expected some big moves in the standings.
However, only a handful represented, with FLYNC5 and Blue 7 Racing moving up several and OShea Racing, Team Hot Stuff and Fitz Racing finding themselves in the garage area.

The Sprint Cup Series if off this weekend, the last break of the season.
