Dodge Challenger 500 results - Darlington (10 May 2008)

     Gotta love the Lady in Black!  Fast was the watchword last night.  From the fast-occurring accident in the first few laps to the blazing speeds (a new qualifying speed record AND average race speed record were set)... fast, fast, fast!!!  I wish I could say the same for our picks :(  Most were average, with Biffle as a popular pick for once, as was Smoke like he always is.  Ah well, Que sera sera!

Nascar Power Rankings

Here we go again after a great race with lots of recks at Darlington.Ull see some surprises in this weeks to top ten,so lets begin.

1.Kyle Busch-I always belive in putting the race winner first and Buch is that guy.With three wins and eight top 10's this season,he is the best as of now.

 2.Carl Edwards-With a second place finsih in last nights race this guy is on fire once again.Edwards has won three races this season and is poised to get another victory in the fallowing weeks,so watch out.

3.Dale Earnhardt Jr-Jr had one of the best cars all night and is one of the most consitant drivers in the sport.He also has had only one bad race all season and with a victory on his mind,I see him moving up in the next few weeks.Plus who doesnt love that new paint sceme of his

4.Jeff Burton-After another solid top 10 finish Burton is still on his game.He never has a bad race but is a bad quilifier making him the fourth best driver as of now.

5.Denny Hamlin-Hamlins on fire now with another top ten finish.Hes fourth in the points and has an average finish of twelve at number five he dropped a little only because of all the slightly better drivers ahead of him.

6.Clint Bowyer-After a win last week,he drops all the way to number six. Bowyer had an average race finishing 15th but with another race like it,he may be out of the top ten.

7.Jeff Gordon-After not even making the top ten last week,he jumps to number seven after his third place finish at Darlington.Gordon is the best quilifer in all of nascar but hasent been consistant enough during the race to be in the top five.Everyone should prepare themselfs for a win in the next few races so please,stay awake and stay of the beer:)

 8.Jimmie Johnson-Once again the Hendrick Crew has gooten the ball rolling.With three poles and one win Johnson is still top 10 worthy even though he only has four top ten finishes,execpt a drop off next week from him,most likly a top 20 finish.

9.David Ragan-Ragan is now on his way to becoming one of Nascars best drivers.He finished fifth at Darlington and with three top tens,I still see him getting his first win in the next ten races.

10.Martin Truex Jr-As much as I feel for Biffle,Kahne,Harvick and even Stewart,Truex deserves to be in the top 10.After a tremendous finsih at Taladega and a top 15 at Darlington he lead a few laps and was in the top ten for most of the race.Still since he is my favorite driver I cant leave him out and hopefully he will get a top five next week.Lets Go Truex! Jersey Boy all the Way!

P.S.Next week is the All-Star shutout at Charlotte so I will not be using points,and base it on the race.
