Looking at the points as they've ran lately Noah has been slipping. He has lost 50 points in the last few races. Top 5 in points at this point in the season would be the contenders. Silverfox is a ways out but it could be made up, Young is also a bit behind but if he would get on a roll which I don't see him doing because he hasn't won in 10 seasons... If we didn't have the chase the Top 3 would be the title contenders in my book but it would be a 5 car race from here to DC had we not had a Chase.

which I'm glad we will be using that format for 2017 I feel the driver with the most points at season end deserves the title.

Bishop Jr: I feel so bad for Perkins. The man almost had it if it weren't for their problem. At least now we know BFM can finally get their first points win with Perkins.

8th wow after a 27th place finish wow
