A New Round of Intrigue The Playoffs Continue with 12 Contenders at Dover

By Jared turner

H

istorically the home to the final race in the Round of 16, Dover International Speedway finds itself in a new slot for the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs as the track hosts Sunday’s first race in the Round of 12.

Dover, a 1-mile track known as the “Monster Mile,” was for many years little more than Jimmie Johnson’s personal playground, but in recent times the high-banked concrete oval has been kind others — most notably, spring

Jimmie Johnson has 11 career wins at Dover. GETTY IMAGES

2018 Dover winner Kevin Harvick, fall 2017 Dover winner Kyle Busch and fall 2016 winner Martin Truex Jr. Harvick, Busch and Johnson, of course, have been this season’s three most dominant drivers, so no one will be surprised to see one of their car numbers atop the scoring pylon when Sunday’s Gander Outdoors 400 concludes.

Then again, the start of a new playoff round could bring about the emergence of new contenders, or it could closely resemble the Round of 16 — which produced three different Dover Preview: October 4, 2018

winners (Brad Keselowski, Busch and Ryan Blaney) but only one from the so-called “Big 3” of Harvick, Busch and Truex.

What’s going to go down at Dover?

Only this much is certain: Each of the remaining 12 championship contenders certainly wants to get this round started off on the right foot and understands the importance of doing just that.

After Dover, the series moves to alwaysunpredictable Talladega Superspeedway before heading to Kansas Speedway for an elimination race.

“Definitely looking forward to it,” Truex said of this round.

“A couple of good tracks for us and Talladega, so we’ll see.

Hopefully, we can do what we did the first round and have two really good first races and not have to worry about it. I feel like Dover and Kansas are both places we can go and win at. Our team has done a really good job of being prepared and showing up to the track ready. I feel like the first two races of the playoffs we were in position to win and we were doing all of the right things. We’ll just keep doing what we’re doing and hopefully win a race in the next round.”

Thanks to the series-high 55 playoff points he’s amassed for race wins and stage wins in the first 29 races, Busch begins this round as the points leader. Harvick, with 50 playoff points, is second, followed by Truex in third with 38 playoff points.

The rest of the 12-driver championship field consists of Keselowski, Clint Bowyer, Joey Logano, Kurt Busch, Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, Aric Almirola and Alex Bowman. Elliott, Larson, Almirola and Bowman begin

the Round of 12 on the wrong side of the cutline for advancement to the Round of 8. Eliminated in the Round of 16 were Johnson, Austin Dillon, Denny Hamlin and Erik Jones.

Johnson, who failed to advance on the basis of a tiebreaker, owns a Monster Energy Series’ record 11 victories at Dover. His most recent win at the Monster Mile — or anywhere, for that

matter — came in June 2017.

After missing the Round of 12, Johnson is glad to be heading to Dover.

“I can relax a little bit more coming to this racetrack,” he said. “With it being my best track and the love I have for this place, I’m always excited to come, but trying to get the No. 48 car back into Victory Lane, I can take a little pressure of myself here knowing that the rhythm-

preview predictions Driver To Beat: Kevin Harvick Team To Beat: Stewart-Haas Racing Sleeper: Daniel Suarez

▶▶ Jimmie Johnson’s 11 Dover wins are a Monster Energy Series record, and after missing the Round of 12 on the basis of a tiebreaker, the seventime champ will no doubt have extra motivation this weekend. ▶▶ Kevin Harvick led 201 of 400 laps on the way to a commanding victory at Dover earlier this year.

Harvick earned his first Dover victory in even more dominant fashion when he led 355 laps in the fall of 2015. ▶▶ Always a contender to win at the concrete tracks of Dover and Bristol, Kyle Busch is the defending winner of the fall race at the Monster Mile, where he owns a total of three victories dating back to his first Dover win in 2008. ▶▶ Martin Truex Jr. owns two Dover victories, which have come with different teams and nearly a decade apart. He’ll have lots of incentive this weekend after being robbed of a victory at the ROVAL, where he led on the final lap before contact with Jimmie Johnson. ▶▶ Brad Keselowski has arguably been the Monster Energy Series’ hottest driver over the past six weeks or so. The Team Penske wheelman could continue his front-running ways at Dover, where he earned a victory in 2012.

Hall of Fame Spotlight: Rusty Wallace

By Keith Waltz

Rusty Wallace became a hero to Midwestern race fans who were experiencing NASCAR racing for the first time as the sport’s popularity exploded during the 1980s and ’90s.

Born on Aug. 14, 1956, in Arnold, Missouri, Wallace’s father raced at the local short tracks and Russ Wallace’s three sons, Rusty, Mike and Kenny, followed him into the sport.

After showing promise on the rough-and-tumble tracks of his home state, Rusty Wallace’s first taste of national success came in 1979 when he finished third in the USAC stock car championship and was named rookie of the year. He added the American Speed Association championship to his résumé in 1983, topping future NASCAR rivals Alan Kulwicki and Mark Martin.

The highlight of Wallace’s NASCAR career came in 1989 when he edged Dale Earnhardt by 12 points to claim the Cup Series championship.

Wallace retired from racing at the end of the 2005 season and he has worked as an analyst for both television and radio coverage of the sport.

“It’s my first oval in Cup. I don’t have a ton of oval experience, but I’ll try my best. The main goal is to be approved for bigger tracks. We need to stay out of trouble and not make any stupid mistakes, especially since it’s a playoff race. I have to try to bring the car back in one piece at the end of the race.

A Wearer of Many Hats Lowe Works to Keep MBM Moving Forward

BY BEN WHITE

D

anny Lowe, tire specialist for Management Business Motorsports and driver Timmy Hill, was introduced to NASCAR through the 1998 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis. In 2006, he attended his first Cup series event at Bristol Motor Speedway.

He immediately considered NASCAR his favorite sport and dreamed of someday being a part of the action.

While working full-time in a capacity away from the sport, Lowe found his calling as a mechanic for a short track team in Austin, Texas. Doing so proved valuable for his present role as a crew member in NASCAR’s premier series.

“They were a small short track team and they let me to play around with their cars and learn a few things,” Lowe said. “Then when I moved out to Catawba, N.C., I saw in January of this past year that (team owner) Carl Long was asking for mechanics.

I responded to him on Facebook and then went it to talk with him and got an interview and everything went from there.”

Lowe works in various positions at MBM that includes seeking out sponsorship for the team. During the times he isn’t turning wrenches, he spends time behind a desk working on the business side of the operation.

“Back at the shop, I do a lot of the administrative things with NASCAR and things of that nature and also marketing and public relations,” Lowe said. “I work as tire specialist during races and manage all of our tires. I put all of them in sets to make sure the pressures are correct and check temperatures and tread depths and things like that.”

PIRTEK helped fix a 180foot tall Ferris wheel at an amusement park in Eureka, Missouri.

PIRTEK keeps the hydraulics – and the fun – up and running at amusement parks

A

technician from PIRTEK Overland got a call recently to perform a task that sounds simple enough: setting a wheel in motion. Except that this wheel is 180 feet tall.

The St. Louis-area PIRTEK dispatched a Mobile Service Vehicle to an amusement park in Eureka, Missouri, to work on a giant Ferris wheel. “It was pretty cool working on the

inside of the park,” said Chris Gibson, lead technician at PIRTEK Overland. “We did the work early in the day so we wouldn’t disrupt the park’s customers.”

The van rolled in at 5 a.m. and was out by 10 a.m. during the three-day project.

PIRTEK provides industrial hose replacement service on site. When hydraulic or pneumatic equipment

blows a hose, a technician is available 24 hours a day to perform the replacement from a Mobile Service Vehicle.

Globally, PIRTEK has more than 400 locations and 2,000 Mobile Service Vehicles in 23 countries.

The Ferris wheel that Gibson worked on has a maximum capacity of 320 riders who move around the colossal circle at about 10 miles per hour – a rotation-and-a-half per minute. The ride had been shut down for repairs when an inspector spied some worn hydraulic hoses.

“The Ferris wheel had blown out a pump,” Gibson said.

“They did the repair, but the final inspection of that repair

spotlight also determined that the hoses were bad and needed replacing.”

Several contractors came out to bid on the job. The park gave the work to PIRTEK. Hydraulic power remains a logical choice for Ferris wheels, because it furnishes such a smooth, easy ride for customers – despite the significant amount of torque generated.

Many of the other rides in a typical amusement park also run on hydraulics. The pressurized fluid flows through heavy-duty hoses and delivers energy to move the attractions along and keep the fun going. But these hoses require maintenance over time as their exteriors erode and as particles in the fluid break down the inside surfaces.

Gibson changed out the wheel motor hoses, brake hoses and pressure lines. He installed about 850 feet of half-inch line during the course of the project, working on a man-lift that was 20 to 30 feet above the ground.

“Heights and I don’t usually get along, but I had work to do, so I didn’t think much about it,” Gibson said.

This isn’t the first time PIRTEK has worked to get amusement park rides operating

PIRTEK offers 24-hour onsite service of hydraulic and pneumatic hoses from its Mobile Service Vehicles.

again. Floyd Mays, owner of PIRTEK Reading Road in Cincinnati, services dozens and dozens of rides each winter when a park in Mason, Ohio, reduces its hours for the offseason. Depending on the needs, Mays said the service requires about a day per ride at the 364-acre attraction, billed as the largest amusement and water park in the Midwest.

Mays also provides hydraulic services for a smaller amusement park in Cincinnati on the banks of the Ohio River.

MSG: Making Racing Safer

By Dan Guttenplan

M

otorsports Safety Group is a collaboration of innovators in the sport who are determined to improve the safety of racing. MSG shares tips for race car drivers and fans to help avoid injuries during races and practice sessions.

Acknowledged as one of the country’s leading neurosurgeons, Dr. Jason Cormier has helped MSG provide a comprehensive, grassroots marketing campaign focused on preventative health care education and wellness training.

With an emphasis to educate and engage race fans in their growing role as health care consumers, the objective is to influence behavioral changes, to provide racing’s brand-loyal audience with the medical knowledge to make informed, preventative

decisions that directly affect the wellness of their families.

This month, Dr. Cormier answered a series of questions about his preferred concussion evaluation tool, the I-Portal Portable Assessment System (I-PAS). ▶▶ What impact do you think the implementation of the I-PAS will have on NASCAR? “We always want to make sure it’s more of a help to NASCAR than a scare. We’re not trying to pull drivers out of the car. We’re trying to help them feel better so they perform better.” ▶▶ How does the I-PAS compare with other concussion tests?

“From the standard of detecting and diagnosing oculomotor, vestibular and reaction time deficiencies, it takes the subjectivity out of the hands of the examiner.

It gives us good information about what is Dover Preview: October 4, 2018

spotlight going on in the brain without the subjectivity of some exams, or without an athlete trying to trick a certain test.” ▶▶ Will a driver go through baseline testing at the start of the season so that the test will detect discrepancies from those metrics head impacts?

“You don’t need any baseline testing. The system is able to track and develop a data bank of what’s normal for people of a certain age group. It can alter some of the parameters. When dealing with racecar drivers, it considers that their reflex timing and reaction timing is going to be quicker than the average population. Once you establish a normal value for a particular sport, you can test and see variances when there’s some sort of issue.” ▶▶ How is the test administered?

“You put these goggles on, and you have the ability to make sure your vision is completely clear. You can see the stimuli.

Then you follow the stimuli. It’s testing the functionality of smooth pursuits and looking for stagnants. Blurred vision isn’t a part of it. It will find what’s going on in the microscopic function of the brain. Say you’re having difficulty looking to your left. If we find that’s where the deficit is occurring, then we can focus on those areas to rehab and get where they need to be.” ▶▶ When do you expect to administer this test to racecar drivers? After races?

“This isn’t necessarily going to take the place of a clinician’s medical acumen. If a driver didn’t lose consciousness and his car wasn’t altered, he’s going to continue to drive. A driver won’t come off the track for testing. If the car flips or collides, then I see the utility in using this. IndyCar has already started to use this at the track. For NASCAR and ARCA, from what we’ve been told, it doesn’t look like it will be an issue, but we haven’t been given the green light yet.”

Meet MSG Advisory Board Member Alan Appley

Alan Appley, MD, FACS, FAANS, remains an avid swimmer and the consummate Neurosurgeon.

After joining Acadiana Neurosurgery in 2010, he jumpstarted Dr. Cormier’s career in the field. Both his fellowship and guidance made Cormier’s transition the very best that anyone could ask for. He brings to MSG a myriad of both knowledge and experience in terms of brain and spinal cord trauma, in addition to many other facets of complex neurosurgery. Operating with Dr. Cormier in complex spinal and brain surgeries continues to be an invaluable part of so many great outcomes.

Bill Elliott won the Winston $1 million special bonus at Darlington Raceway in 1985.

A Historical Accomplishment at Darlington Elliott Wins $1 Million from RJR

BY BEN WHITE

O

n Sept. 1, 1985, Bill Elliott, driver of the No. 9 Melling Racing Ford, made NASCAR history by winning the prestigious Labor Day Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. The NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee from Dawsonville, Ga. led 100 of 367 laps including the final 44 to collect the Winston $1 million special bonus posted by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. Amid 11 victories that season, Elliott collected the lucrative pay day by winning three of NASCAR’s four most prestigious races. The Daytona 500, the Winston 500 at Talladega, Ala., and Southern 500 at

Darlington sealed the deal, while brake issues in the Coca Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway prevented a sweep of NASCAR’s most prestigious events.

Cale Yarborough, driver of the Harry Ranier Racing Ford, gave Elliott his closet challenge until a power steering pump failed in the closing laps. Amid initial heavy smoke, the Timmonsville, S.C. native continued on and managed to wrestle his car to a second-place finish.

Elliott’s victory garnered headlines around the world, helping NASCAR to enjoy its first foray into the international spotlight. “Thank the good Lord for looking out for me today,” Elliott said in the “Forty Years of Stock car Racing book series. “A lot of things happened that were unexpected. But I kept my cool. I raced the track today and let the others race each other.”

THRUSTMASTER RACING WHEELS

T

he Thrustmaster line of wheels provides a great entry point for new racers. It offers full-force feedback, so players get the realistic tug and pull of a real steering wheel without breaking the bank. The TX model includes wheel-mounted sequential paddle shifters, but is also compatible with a variety of gearshift accessories, depending on how you build your setup. We personally like the Thrustmaster wheels because they work well with all kinds of setups, from cramped office spaces to full-on man cave racing setups. They won’t get in your way and they’re solid and stable in your hands when you do want to use them. As a plus, the Thrustmaster wheels also come in console-compatible versions if you play on Xbox or PlayStation.

XOTIC GAMING PC’s

X

otic’s line of gaming PCs covers everyone from the rookie to the old pro. The company’s Optimal series has everything you’ll need to yank it out of the box and start racing. On the other end, the Xotic Ultimate series stays true to the “your rig is your ride” motto and gives you a beast. Not only a beast on day one, but the PC has the upgradability to rival working in the garage on your own race car. Xotic has a fairly robust customization app on their website that allows you to fine tune the rig to your requirements. The key that really puts Xotic over the top is the support. They’re known for their service and they also have an active forum community where you can talk to other gearheads.

DX RACER CHAIRS

I

t’s surprising how many gamers miss this crucial piece, but we race for fun, for competition and, most importantly, we race for hours. That means your setup needs to be easy to jump in and play, and it needs to be comfortable for those long endurance races. We like DX Racer because of the sheer variety of customization options. There’s a line of chairs for essentially every body type. The Racing series, for instance, is perfect for a slim body type, while the King line is better for athletic and larger builds. There are accessories available depending on your setup, from armrest mouse pads to neck pillows. Check out the shopping guide on the company’s website to see which one works for you.

SCUF GAMING

f you’re a controller user, we recommend Scuf Gaming controllers for both Xbox and PlayStation. These units are perfect for racing because of their design, which has been honed over the years in the first-person shooter esports scene. As a result, the controller feels rugged and comfortable, perfect for a long session of intense racing. With that esports pedigree, comes durability so you can definitely tote these things around to tournaments or your buddy’s house without it giving out on you. What puts Scuf over the top, though, are their paddles and what the company calls Sax Buttons, customizable side-action buttons. These are perfect for manual transmission players in particular.

KINGSTON HyperX

T

here’s a reason why everyone from Gordon Hayward to the World Street Fighter V champion uses Kingston HyperX headphones. There are no “gamer” gimmicks here, just premium designed headphones. This is particularly important for racing because in the heat of the moment, your eyes can only watch so much. You need to hear every last RPM, hear exactly how close your rival is. You need to hear the details. HyperX’s Cloud Alpha line, for instance, uses dual chambers to dramatically reduce distortion, so there’s no missing your gear shifts because your power curve sounded garbled. What seals us on HyperX is how usable they are. The design is subtle enough that you can use the headphones on your commute without embarrassment, but high end enough to feel every ping your sim engine makes.

Making a Straight Ligero cigar requires a unique understanding of the leaf. Ligero comes from the top of the tobacco plant. Its direct exposure to the sun darkens and thickens the leaf. Smaller than leaves lower on the plant, it also enjoys a concentration of nutrients. Habano Seed Ligero is recognized as the most full flavored leaf. Additionally, the region in which this Habano Seed is grown plays a significant role in its flavor and strength.

Jalape Ligero is the smoothest of these powerhouses. Jalapa is the northern most tobacco region of Nicaragua. Jalapa Ligero is grown in a valley and enjoys less direct sun, the result is a full body leaf with a more noticeable range of flavor.

How the playoffs work

How the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs Work by jared turner

S

ixteen drivers qualified for the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, with entry based on having a win or their position in the standings following the 26-race regular season While baseline point totals are reset equally heading into the playoffs, a driver earns five playoff points for every race win, and one playoff point for every stage win, during the regular season. Drivers can continue to amass playoff points once the playoffs commence, adding to their regular season totals. A driver’s playoff points carry over to each new round – except the Championship Round – provided he is still championship-eligible.

The driver leading the point standings at the end of the regular season starts the playoffs with an additional 15 playoff points. In fact, the top-10 drivers in points after the regular season are all awarded playoff points on a descending scale.

The number of playoff drivers in contention for the championship decreases after every three playoff races, from 16 to start the playoffs; 12 after playoff Race No. 3; eight after playoff Race No. 6; and four after playoff Race No. 9.

A win by a championship-eligible driver in any playoff race automatically clinches the winning driver a spot in the next round. The positions for each round that aren’t filled based on wins in the previous round are filled based on point totals at the end of the previous round.

The first three races of the playoffs are known as the Round of 16 and are held this year at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Richmond Raceway and the ROVAL at Charlotte Motor Speedway, respectively. The ROVAL, a new 17-turn road course where the field of championship-eligible drivers decreases to 12, is the first of three playoff elimination races.

The next three races make up the Round of 12 and are held at Dover International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway and Kansas Speedway, respectively. At Kansas, the playoff field is whittled to eight.

Martinsville Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway and ISM Raceway make up the Round of 8, which culminates with four drivers leaving Arizona in title contention.

The champion is the highest finisher among the four title contenders in the Championship 4 race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

nascar playoffs by jared turner

F

or many NASCAR fans, the playoffs are undoubtedly the most exciting time of the year. For the drivers in pursuit of a championship, no time is more stressful. Stressors aside, there are many reasons to love the playoffs – especially in NASCAR’s premier division, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

Here are the top five reasons:

▶▶ THE SCHEDULE SHAKEUP: The Monster Energy Series’ Round of 16 has an all-new look this season. Out are Chicagoland Speedway (which hosted the playoff opener from 2011-2017), New Hampshire Motor Speedway (which lost its fall race date) and Dover International Speedway (now the first race in the Round of 12). This year, the Round of 16 consists of races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Richmond Raceway and a new 17-turn road course formally dubbed the ROVAL at Charlotte Motor Speedway. ▶▶ THE CHAMPIONSHIP 4: It’s one race featuring four championship contenders all on equal points footing, with no bonus points up for grabs. The first driver among the four finalists to cross the finish line when the checkered waves at Homestead-Miami Speedway is the Monster Energy Series champion. Does it really get any better than this? NASCAR knocked a home run with its implementation of a winnertake-all Championship Race in 2014. Expect 2018 to be no exception.

5 reasons

▶▶ TALLADEGA, AKA ‘THE WILD CARD’: Want intense racing? Try a race at wild, wacky and notoriously unpredictable Talladega Superspeedway situated smack dab in the middle of the Monster Energy Series playoffs. Talladega, a 2.66mile track widely considered the most treacherous of all venues on the Monster Energy Series tour, is the second race in the Round of 12 and has consistently proven to be a game-changer in terms of which drivers ultimately advance to the Round of 8.

▶▶ THE ELIMINATION RACES: If you like witnessing aggression, tune in or buy a ticket for any of the three elimination races in which the Monster Energy Series playoff field will be reduced by four drivers. This year’s elimination races are being run at the ROVAL at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Kansas Speedway and ISM Raceway, respectively.

All three tracks are poised to crush some drivers’ dreams while propelling others further down the path to a possible championship.

▶▶ THE SURPRISES: Almost without fail, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs produce a major surprise or two. In 2014 – the first year of the elimination-style format and winner-take-all Championship Race – Ryan Newman came one position short of the championship, despite going the whole season without a win. The following year, Martin Truex Jr. – then considered a major underdog – surprised almost everyone by reaching the Championship 4 with a single-car team. Who will be the biggest surprise of this year?

To Win the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship by jared turner

▶▶ Kevin Harvick: Kevin Harvick started the year red-hot, piling up five victories in the first 12 races.

He’s since cooled off, but not a lot. At press time, the 2014 Monster Energy Series champ ranked second in the standings and had six wins — tied with Kyle Busch for most in the series. While no one is a lock for the Championship 4, Harvick comes pretty close. ▶▶ Kyle Busch: Handily beaten by Kevin Harvick in the first month of the season, Kyle Busch mashed the proverbial throttle in early April by going on a three-race winning streak, and he barely lifted over the remainder of the regular season. By far the most dominant of the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas, Busch stands an excellent chance of capturing his second Monster Energy Series championship. ▶▶ MARTIN TRUEX JR.: On pace to match or even surpass the numbers he laid down in last year’s championship season, Martin Truex Jr. has enjoyed another stellar Monster Energy Series campaign with his Denver-based Furniture Row Racing team. What’s the biggest difference between 2017 and 2018 for Truex? Last season, he was the clear championship frontrunner. This season, he’s one of three. ▶▶ CLINT BOWYER: Enjoying a renaissance kind of season, Clint Bowyer is finally back to his front-running ways after five years in the NASCAR wilderness. With wins in the first half of the season at Martinsville and Michigan, the second-year Stewart-Haas Racing driver proved that if anyone can hang with the “Big Three” of Harvick, Busch and Truex Jr., it’s probably him. ▶▶ JIMMIE JOHNSON: OK, so Jimmie Johnson hasn’t had a Jimmie Johnson-like season – big deal.

He’s still a seven-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion, he still has arguably the best crew chief in the sport – Chad Knaus – and he certainly hasn’t forgotten how to drive. If Johnson’s team can provide him with better cars in the playoffs than he had in the regular season, the sky is the limit.

rguably NASCAR’s best when it comes to pure driving talent, Kyle Busch has done nothing to diminish that reputation this season. Equipped with a fast car almost everywhere he’s been, Busch has been virtually unbeatable at many tracks and at least in contention at most others. If Busch makes it back to Homestead as part of the Championship 4, he and his team, led by crew chief Adam Stevens, will be extremely tough for anyone to beat. “They out-execute what their car is capable of every single week,” teammate Denny Hamlin said.

Kevin Harvick

rior to this year, Kevin Harvick had never won more than five races in a Monster Energy Series season. The veteran driver needed just over half of the schedule to eclipse that total. Yeah, it’s been that kind of campaign for the 2014 Monster Energy Series champion, whose nickname, “Happy,” has certainly been an appropriate moniker. If Harvick can avoid a major mishap in one of the elimination rounds, he’s all but assured of making the Championship 4. And if he can ascend NASCAR’s mountain for the second time, 2018 will no doubt go down as his greatest season.

resh off a dream season culminating in his first Monster Energy Series championship, Martin Truex Jr. seemed vulnerable to a letdown. It hasn’t happened. Truex has continued his frontrunning ways with his team that consists largely of the same cast that helped him to a career-high eight wins a year ago.

While claiming a second consecutive championship won’t come easily for Truex, especially in light of how strong both Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick have been this season, it’s certainly not outside the realm of possibility for the native of Mayetta, NJ.

With wins in the first half of the schedule at Martinsville and Michigan, Bowyer returned to a place where he hadn’t been since 2012 – Victory Lane. Although not consistently on the level of Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. this season, Bowyer might have the best chance of making the Championship 4 among drivers who haven’t been part of this year’s power trio.

Elliott, who led a race-high 52 laps around the fast 2.45-mile road course, executed to near perfection over the closing laps as Martin Truex Jr. – the reigning Monster Energy Series champion – hounded the back bumper of his No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro. Now no longer searching for his first win, Elliott begins his most legitimate bid yet for a Monster Energy Series championship.

n the playoffs for the fifth time in six years, Joey Logano is thankful to be back after a surprising absence in 2017.

Logano, a two-time Championship 4 qualifier, finished a career-best second in the standings in 2016. His 2018 season, while a major improvement over 2017, has been a mixed bag; he clinched a berth in the playoffs early with a win at Talladega but has lacked the speed to contend for wins on a regular basis. While making the Championship 4 for a third time seems possible, a championship this year could be a stretch.

fter a solid but unspectacular rookie campaign with Furniture Row Racing, Erik Jones replaced Matt Kenseth at Joe Gibbs Racing in 2018. The move, which was not unexpected, said a lot about team owner Joe Gibbs’ faith in Jones – a JGR development driver who had essentially been on loan to Furniture Row. Gibbs’ confidence in Jones was further solidified in July at Daytona when Jones scored his first career Monster Energy Series victory.

From late June through early August, Jones finished worse than seventh just once in a seven-race stretch – a telltale sign of his progression.

Dillon, whose two Monster Energy Series wins to date have come in two of the sport’s biggest races – the 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway – would not have made the playoffs without his Daytona victory, however. To advance even beyond the Round of 16, the grandson of team owner Richard Childress will need to show much improvement from how he’s performed throughout most of the year.

Kurt Busch

hile Kurt Busch’s season has lacked a defining moment like he had in 2017 with his victory in the Daytona 500, the 2004 champ has been stout enough. Top-10 finishes have certainly come a lot easier than top-five results but, as of press time, Busch had snared three poles – a testament to the kind of speed his Ford has carried on occasion. Busch, who recently turned 40, appears to be as happy both personally and professionally as ever, which certainly can’t hurt in the ultra-competitive world of playoff racing where drivers look for every edge.

fter making it to Homestead in 2017 as part of the Championship 4, Brad Keselowski was inconsistent out of the gate this year and that inconsistency has been a defining trait of the 2012 Monster Energy Series champion’s season. From the third race of 2018 through the end of the regular season, Keselowski never fell outside the top 10 in points – but he also never got higher than fourth.

His No. 2 Ford will have to pick up the pace a bit to make a return appearance in the Championship 4.
