I'll probably have to miss that race... NFL opening weekend. I need Kyle Larson to have a mediocre result to get closer on the contest, lol Hamlin won at Kansas in May , followed by Larson and Byron.

Looking at the standings, Truex with that 1 pt race is below the line behind Harvick by 7 pts. Bristol Night Race is somewhat unpredictable, I do think that Truex should advance, but may be at the expense of a former champion, either Harvick or Logano. It wouldn't surprise me if Hamlin may want to get Bubba into the top 12 some how.
