Well, it's a rare week week when the Cup series is actually the first race in a two race weekend. The Truck race will be run on Monday so we'll find out the final results then.
So far it was a good race for the streak drivers. Everyone picked a top 10 driver while 6 members picked race winner Jimmie Johnson.
ICE kept his streak going to 6 weeks after picking Denny Hamlin. Only 2 more weeks until he can tie the all-time record of 8 weeks that he already holds along with three other members. He starts the weekend off with 39 points to add to his points total. He has Johnny Benson in the Truck race so he'll be hoping for a good run out of him.
The 2nd most points so far is by Tooz who picked Jimmie Johnson and is trying to catch ICE in the standings; he scores 24 points. TCB Racing and JG4TMR are tied with the third most points with 22. racingfan8 is fifth with 22 points.
Sorry for the delay on the final results, having the Truck race run on Monday put a kink into all my updates with the Truck series, LROC series, getting new picks forms, emailing everyone and finally the streak results and standings.... phew!
At any rate, the big winner once again for the week is ICE who kept his Truck series streak perfect after picking Johnny Benson. With his 6 week Cup streak and 4 week Truck streak, he earns 66 points for the week.
Three members were tied for the 2nd most points with 54, those were JG4TMR, TCB Racing and Tooz. Tooz is desperately trying to catch ICE in the standings. He's holding steady after extending his streaks in both series, but ICE keeps pulling away from him. The good thing for Tooz is that ICE will eventually see his Cup streak stop since he's already up to 6 weeks. Nobody has been able to get past 8 yet. Tooz is just hoping that is own Cup streak doesn't end before ICE's does. Currently he's 25 points behind in the standings.
We had a change in the top 5 as racingfan8 jumps over President Lou by a couple of points. racingfan8 currently has a 3 week Cup streak while the prez only just restarted his again.
It was a good week for everyone in both races. Everyone picked top 10 drivers in the Cup series and we only saw just one member see his streak end in the Truck series... sorry Steve!
