Greg picked up a win for the second straight week and in fact, had 2 of the top 3 finishers in last Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at the Richmond (VA) Raceway. However, those were his only drivers to finish in the top 10. In fact, just half (4) of his team (8 drivers) even got a top 25 with Greg going 1-3-12-16-26-28-30-31.

CJ had a similar day with just one driver in the top 10 (9th) and only four drivers in the top 23. He went 9-11-14-18-24-25-27-35.

It was once again, a week that Eric dominated. While he didn’t have the winner, he did place 5 of his 8 drivers in the top 10 with having all 8 of his cars in the top 23.

Eric has been on a terror out of the gates this season already in going 1-2-3 in Atlanta and four of his eight drivers being in the top six. In Phoenix, he went 5-6-9-11-14-18-22-23. For Vegas, it was three more cars in the top 5 (3-4-5) to go along with 5 of his 8 in the top 10 (9-10). He also had 11th and 17th with Logano’s last place result being the only driver outside the top 20. In Fontana, he had 4-5-6-7-8-10-30-32 and in Daytona it was 2-3-5-7-12-17-20-22. That’s why he escaped a bad day in COTA with just two finishers in the top 15.

Greg also had four of the top eight finishers in COTA while CJ took 2-5-7-9 a couple of weeks ago.

CJ is now third best this season. He had the top two finishers in Fontana as well and the winner in Vegas and Phoenix too. However, this team was reeling behind each week as well. His finishes from Fontana were 1-2-9-11-16-25-33-36. For Vegas, it was 1-7-14-18-22-23-24-27. In Phoenix, it was 1-8-12-16-17-19-20-28. For Atlanta, he was 9-10-16-17-19-20-28-32.

Greg has been heating up lately. Prior to Phoenix, he had 5 total top 10 finishes. On the Arizona track alone, he ended up with four top 10 finishers that day in going 2-3-4-7-21-24-25-35. In Atlanta, Greg also had three more cars in the top 10 (5-7-8) but also 11-13-24-31-35 too. In Vegas, Greg had 2-6-12-13-15-19-26-28. In Fontana, he had just 1 driver in the top 10 (Ross Chastain, 3rd) with 7 of his 8 being 15th or worse (3-15-19-20-26-28-29-34). For Daytona, Greg had 8-9-18-23-26-35-37-39.
