1. Few leftovers
As many as 40 stock cars can start a Cup Series race, but only three drivers are winning, and so the Big 3 is alive and well. Through 20 races, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. have won 15 of them. Harvick and Busch have finished 1-2 four times this season.
2. Dennys deal
Denny Hamlin has the feel of that guy paddling harder but going slower in the rowboat. He finished 13th at New Hampshire. (The car) just would not turn, he said. I think our cars have speed, we just have to do the best to get our setup on there that we can be aggressive with.
3. Head to head
In their head-to-head statistical comparison in the No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing Ford, Trevor Bayne has scored the best finish this season. He was 12th at Texas. Matt Kenseths best finish was 13th at Pocono. Kenseth was 15th at New Hampshire, with Pocono 2 on deck.
