NOTES:

 

·          MARK ZOOMS INTO THE T12:  What a way to enter the provisional Chase field! Mark Martin’s second win in the last four races lifted him from 15^th all the way to 11^th in the standings. Lots of races left, but the #5 team under Alan Gustafson looks strong.

·          TONY THE TIGER:  Another podium finish for Tony Stewart (3^rd at Darlington) gets him to second in the standings. Another strong run by Ryan Newman (4^th) makes it a happy place at Stewart-Haas these days.

·          BOWYER SLIDE:  Clint Bowyer’s 37^th at Darlington tumbled him out of the T12. Over the last five, Bowyer has gone from 2^nd to 13^th, and has managed only 394 points during that period (Stewart has scored 774).
