The Chase-Offs
The updated points are in, and the Chase-Offs are in full swing as Reddick extends his lead, but behind him, the race is tightening with only a 54-point gap between 2nd and 10th. Other notable contenders making waves are the three RFK Fords, Spire Motorsports with Carson Hocevar and Daniel Suarez, and Shane van Gisbergen leading the Trackhouse cars. Others are blundering as Chase Briscoe is still digging, Ross Chastain holds on in 20th, and McDowell drops out of the top-16 after Darlington.
Weekly Picks
With Darlington in the rearview, we set our sights on Martinsville with weekly picks. Daniel kicks off picks, with Dan, Amalee, and Allen all throwing out their pick to bring home a grandfather clock. The talk doesn’t stop there, as we also break down our Way Too Early Champion Picks and where they are trending six races in.
