CJ lucked out for his 4th win of the season last weekend in Bristol via Kyle Busch’s triumph on the Dirt. He led 1 lap all race – the last one. Greg had 1-2 in the end but both got caught up in an incident when Chase Briscoe moved up into Tyler Reddick in Turn 3 coming to the checkered. Busch, skated by for the wild victory.

That was CJ’s only driver in the top five on Sunday night. Chase Elliott (8th) was his only other driver in the top 10.

Greg had 2-5-6-7 while Eric had 3-4 but also 4 of his 7 drivers being 23rd or worse too.

By having 4 drivers in the top 7, Greg takes over the points lead by 10 over CJ.

Now, it’s to Talladega where anything can happen.
