Here are these weeks’ Hot & Cold results after Chicago…
Biggest Jump Up = +6 #15 Michael Waltrip
Biggest Fall Down = -11 #8 Dale Earnhardt Jr.
1. (3) #24 Jeff Gordon---AVG. 5.75
Jeff, once again leads the Hot & Cold series, the 24, right now has the best chance at Kenseth…I guess we will see what happens after Homestead.
2. (8) #15 Michael Waltrip---AVG. 8.5
Man Waltrip 2nd!?!?! At the beginning of the year, I NEVER would have guessed that Waltrip would be the 2nd hottest driver at this time.
3. (1) #17 Matt Kenseth---AVG. 9
Our point’s leader has fallen back, but still hanging in there, I look for Kenseth to have the lead back next week.
4. (7) #19 Jeremy Mayfield---AVG. 10.25
I was, “Wowed last week”, now I am astonished!! Mayfield is the 4th, yes 4th, hottest driver…I never thought I would here the words…
5. (5) #20 Tony Stewart---AVG. 10.75
Hey DeeDee, I took your advice and I left Tony here at 5th…
6. (11) #29 Kevin Harvick---AVG. 11.75
The Chicago Champion is no longer the Chicago Champion. He had a good car, but not well enough, and running out of gas didn’t help any. Happy29 was correct.
7. (4) #18 Bobby Labonte---AVG. 13
Boy, did Bobby have a bad fiery wreck…I thought only the positive until I saw him jump out, then I knew he was o.k.!
8. (6) #5 Terry Labonte---AVG. 13.5
Jimmie and Terry have tied this week at 8th. I can only imagine what older brother Terry thought, right after that wreck…Bowtie was right, It IS nice to see him here.
8. (12) #48 Jimmie Johnson---AVG. 13.5
Well Jimmie passed Waltrip under the caution, but its legal and there is NO gentleman’s agreement. That was as clean and legal as it can get…that’s what you have to do to win championships.
10. (12) #9 Bill Elliott---AVG. 13.75
Bill has been starting to do much better, his season is getting turned around I think…
11. (15) #99 Jeff Burton---AVG. 14.25
The #99 car had another good finish putting him here in 11th place.
12. (10) #6 Mark Martin---AVG. 15.5
Well 97’s prediction failed again this weekend. Martin should’ve helped Matt Kenseth on that one pass.
13. (2) #8 Dale Earnhardt Jr. ---AVG. 15.75
Wooah, Dale Earnhardt Jr., has fallen way back, losing 11 spots on the Hot & Cold series. Too bad for the BUD team.
14. (9) #40 Sterling Marlin---AVG. 16
Still Sterling hasn’t gotten a top 5, but I think it is well on its way.
15. (17) #12 Ryan Newman---AVG. 17.25
Newman gets his 3rd win of the season, and proves even more that he is finally out of his sophomore slump.
16. (NR) #31 Robby Gordon---AVG. 17.5
Robby Gordon makes it onto the list this week; the #31 team has done really well this season.
17. (16) #38 Elliott Sadler---AVG. 18
Elliott is starting to bring things back around like he did at the beginning of the year.
18. (NR) #21 Ricky Rudd---AVG. 18.5
Rudd makes the list, and it seems as If Rudd is done with his bad luck.
19. (NR) #42 Jamie McMurray---AVG. 19.75
Rookie Jamie McMurray has done well again, he had a car that could have won the race.
20. (14) #2 Rusty Wallace---AVG. 20
Rusty tops out the top 20 drivers, on here when he was in the top 10 earlier this year.
Oh and I had to point out that 97 was also wrong about Kurt making it into the top 20 this week! But to even things out, I also was wrong.
