With only 2 races to go in the first half of the season, the race for 1st is heating up. But Daytona is this weekend, and we all know how that can shake things up.This week was a fun one to watch at the road course. Martin Truex Jr. had a rocket, but the engine failed and cost him a chance at the win. It wasn't too good of a day for the 22 people that picked #47 AJ Allmendinger, he finished in the rear on a track that he usually runs good. We'll move on to Daytona this week and a race under the lights on Saturday night; it never disappoints. Good luck to all those in the running for the top spot!

*Remember that sheets are due for the second half of the season no later than July 13th! Email me at jrfan_99@yahoo.com if you need to contact me about them*

Race 15 - Michigan

Race 15 - Michigan

Pole Winner: #42 Kyle Larson
Race Winner:#Kyle Larson

Majority Pick: #42 Kyle Larson

Pool Standings: 
1. Garrett Hodges - 157
2. Jay G - 162
3. Start and Park Racing - 185
4. G Money - 188
5. Juan Perez - 192

I guess Kyle Larson got his redemption from last week. The California kid took the trophy home after it looked like Martin Truex Jr. was going to sweep the stages and the victory. The late race caution was the talk of the race though. Tony Stewart gave his opinion, and Dale Jr. fired off on NASCAR as well. The whole point of the stage racing was to help reduce some of these late race cautions for debris. Guess that isn't working too well for NASCAR. The wreck before the last caution took just as many laps as the last "debris" caution. Seems odd to me, but what do I know? Let's get ready for some racing action this weekend at Sonoma, where we get to watch these guys take some right turns!

Race 14 - Pocono

Race 14 - Pocono

Pole Winner: #18 Kyle Busch
Race Winner:#21 Ryan Blaney

Majority Pick: #31 Ryan Newman, #2 Brad Keselowski, and #11 Denny Hamlin

Pool Standings: 
1. Garrett Hodges - 152
2. Jay G - 161
3. G Money - 166
4. Juan Perez - 168
5. Start and Park Racing - 183

Tires, tires, tires. I don't care how good you are Kyle Busch, you can't win on old tires. I'm glad to see the Wood Brothers and Ryan Blaney were able to capitalize and walk away with the trophy at Pocono. Even though he drives a ford, it's fun pulling for the local guys! In other news, some of these guys need to practice shifting gears, Dale Jr. and Kevin Harvick. Shifting from 3rd gear to 2nd gear when you've got your foot in the gas isn't good for the motor. That's why Jr. went home early this week. Oh, and I sure hope that NASCAR is tearing down Kevin Harvick's motor and transmission this week. There's no way in the world that thing should have held together when he missed 4th gear, hit 2nd instead, and turned over 12,000 RPM's. Something seems a little odd there. But anyway, we'll move on to the next week at Michigan. Point standings are tightening up as we get close to the end!

Kyle Larson thought he was going to get to hang with the Monster Energy girls in Victory Lane, but Jimmy Johnson slapped him in the face on the final restart. Even he admitted that Jimmy wasn't a 7-time champion for nothing. Better luck next time Kyle, the Monster Energy girls will still be there. Overall it was a decent race. The track was fast on new tires, and the low down-force package made the cars a lot to handle for some drivers. Looks like we'll head over to Pocono this week for a ride on the tricky triangle. Be on the lookout for the sheets for the second half of the season. I will post them on the blog as well as email them.

Race 12 - Charlotte

Race 12 - Charlotte

Pole Winner: #4 Kevin Harvick
Race Winner:#3 Austin Dillon.

Majority Pick: #48 Jimmy Johnson

Pool Standings: 
1. Jay G - 136
2. Garrett Hodges - 137
3. Loretta - 143
4. Juan Perez - 152
5. G Money - 155

Well, good job to the ol' silver spoon, Autstin Dillon, on his win at Charlotte. But I think the best parts of the race were Jimmy Johnson running out of fuel and Kyle Busch's responses after the race. He may still act the same next week, but I bet his wife tells him not to pick his nose while on camera again, haha. And if anyone saw the video that Dale Jr. captured of Kyle Busch tripping over his feet and falling in the pit area, that was a good laugh! Hopefully this week is another good week with more stories to tell after the monster mile.
