That was a pretty brutal race today. Usually Martinsville is pretty predictable, but tire problems kept things interesting.

It seems like it was a good week for all the top drivers, however it's a bit misleading. As we get through more races, the gap between the top and bottom will begin to grow, so the top drivers' chances of making the Chase will go up even when they have a mediocre week. Also, there was a larger than normal rounding error this week, so everyone's score is inflated by about 1 percentage point. The biggest gainer this week was Vickers, jumping 7 percentage points. The biggest loser was Allmendinger, dropping 3 percentage points. He started out this year stronger than usual, but a poor result this week really hurt him.
