My how the tides have turned. After a hot streak by both Greg and Eric, not only have they closed the gap on CJ but Greg has passed him. Greg holds a 315 point lead over CJ now after having produced the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 10th placed finishers in Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway netting him 645 points in the marquee points paying event. His only driver outside the top 10 was Ryan Blaney in 29th.

Eric picked up the victory via Denny Hamlin but his only other driver in the top 10 was Kyle Larson in 9th. CJ had 2nd place finisher Kyle Busch.

Now we go to an inaugural race in World Wide Technology Raceway where anything goes.
