Talladega race result

 Kyle Larson wins the race and takes a firm lead in the chase. There's only two races left and he has a 73 point lead over Denny Hamlin. That's a long way for Denny to come back and try to grab his first ever championship. But, there's still a slim chance he can rebound. Not very likely, but there's a chance.

Unlike our Pool where Al had it locked up weeks ago! The guy has over a 240 point lead, which is incredible. I don't think I've seen another season where the winner has beaten everybody by that much! It's been a great season for Al, gonna have to steal all his picks for next year!  ;)

Here are the standings following the Talladega race:

Phoenix race result

 Tyler Reddick wins the Phoenix race! It's been a long time since Tyler has gotten a decent result. Good to see them back in the winner's circle.

Kyle Larson still leads the championship, but the field has tightened up for the last three races! It's anybodies championship to win for the Top 5, maybe Top 6? Joey Logano is less than 50 points back in 6th place. Maybe he has a chance, but that's pretty close with all the points available for every race.

Our pool leader is so far ahead that nobody is going to catch Al, in fact he probably sealed the win a dozen races ago. Really great season for Al leading the pool! I just counted and he took the lead for good 19 races ago! Way to pick the drivers, Al!

Charlotte race result

 Chase Briscoe wins his second race in a row! Great run for the 19 team! Larson continues to expand his lead in the chase. We're down to 4 races left!

Las Vegas race result

Chase Briscoe wins his second race of the season, and first in the chase. Kyle Larson takes the lead in the chase after almost wrecking himself trying to get the win.

Kansas race result

 Kyle Larson wins without as much drama as they had at last weeks race! Sounds like it was a pretty dominate race by Kyle. Not so good for the rest of the field if he's just hitting his stride now. Can he repeat his championship from last year?
