Guess this race should have been the Kyle Larson 400. He swept the weekend winning the pole on Friday, the Xfinity race on Saturday, and the Monster Energy race on Sunday. The boy is driving on rails and holds the points lead as well. Let's get ready for a home game this week boys and girls, as they tackle the ol' paperclip!

Well Phoenix is behind us and like the rest of the season, it was a crazy finish! How fitting was it that Rowdy lost the race on a late race caution caused by Joey Logano? Anyway, a Chevy ended up in victory lane. Ryan Newman got his first win in years and brought home a trophy for RCR. Let's get ready for another good race in California!

Race 3 - Las Vegas

Race 3 - Las Vegas

Pole Winner: #2 Brad Keselowski
Race Winner: #78 Martin Truex Jr.

Majority Pick: #18 Kyle Busch

Pool Standings: 
1. Intimidator - 19
2. Start and Park Racing -21
3. Go Left Young Man - 25
4. Jamey Young - 29
5. Hall's Hill - 34

Las Vegas was another wild week. We saw ol' Rowdy take a swing at Logano after the race, which always makes it fun to watch. We'll see how they race each other this week. Kyle Busch was the majority pick last week, and would have had a good finish if he hadn't got dumped on the last lap. It was good to see Truex win, but I'm still waiting on a Chevy to take the checkered flag. Maybe this week will be it

Race 2 - Atlanta

Race 2 - Atlanta

Pole Winner: #4 Kevin Harvick
Race Winner: #2 Brad Keselowski

Majority Pick: #4 - Kevin Harvick

Pool Standings: 
1. Cheap Shot - 14
2. RIP - 15
3. Start and Park Racing - 16
4. Intimidator - 18
5. Juan Perez - 18

Thanks to the unexpected generosity of the Kevin Harvick, Brad K took the checkered flag on Sunday. The majority pick for the week was the dominant car in the race, but the late race slip up didn't leave him with enough time to charge to the front. Ford has now won back-to-back races. Let's hope to see a bow tie in victory lane this week.....it's Vegas baby!
