Busch wins again...a familiar story
It was no surprise that Kyle Busch won again, a familiar story this season. This season is looking like last season except that it's Busch winning instead of HMS drivers. For everyone else, it has to be frustrating, just as it was last season when the same driver wins over and over again. Busch is definitely on a roll and it's his championship to lose, which I doubt he will. He's in the position to experiment in the races leading up to the Chase or just go all-out without worrying about hurting anything.
The race wasn't spectacular, but there was a shakeup in the points due to the fact that some drivers on the brink of the Chase, or barely in it, did well and some did not. The top 6 drivers in the points standings stayed the same, it's the rest of the standings that had some big movers. Biffle and Harvick both moved up four spots, Stewart moved up two and Kenseth moved up one spot. Hamlin, Bowyer and Kahne were the biggest losers in the standings, Hamlin lost five spots, while Kahne and Bowyer lost three. Bowyer is now in 13th, twenty-seven points behind Hamlin, who is in 12th.

Kathy,
My thoughts are you are exactly right, it appears to be Kyle's championship to lose at this point. Not that I am ready to concede anything to him, but with the roll he is on it looks tough for everyone else.
It appears the the #88 team completely missed the setup and they couldn't correct it all race long. At least it didn't cost him any positions and he even gained 9 points on third place Jeff Burton.
