Race 12 - Charlotte

 

Race 12 - Charlotte

Well, I missed my prediction on the top 3 for Charlotte, but I got one of them. Martin Truex Jr. continues to roll through this season, racking up his 6th win for 2017. Lots of little things happened last week that may have some impact going forward. One of the biggest being Kyle Larson calling out NASCAR and Jimmy Johnson. Apparently NASCAR has been overlooking some infractions in the 48 camp. We'll see if that creates any tension on the race track between these two chase contenders.

This week is a total crap shoot as usual at Talladega. I'm going with the prediction that Dale Jr. gets his last win at one of his favorite tracks. If not the win, he's a top 3 guy in this race. We'll see what the Toyota's bring to the restrictor plate track this week. They have been ahead of the game this year and we'll see if that run continues, or if Chevy and Ford can start making up some ground during the home stretch!

Next Race: Talladega on October 15, 2017
