After a weekend packed with action, it is time to see the nascar points leaders. What drivers are currently in the lead? Will the rest of the field catch up? We'll be looking at Chase Elliott and William Byron as well as Ross Chastain and Martin Truex Jr. Who are the other drivers at the top of the points? Who is the favorite for this title? Who will be next to win the race?
Joe Kosiski
Joe Kosiski, the NASCAR points leader, was still in place at the end of the Division II races at Oglethorpe Raceway Park. Shane Riner is still his closest rival and Eric Humphries are also in his sights. Riner won his sixth race of the season at Oglethorpe and has seven90 points, while Humphries has 592 points. Kosiski is ending his streak of low finishes after a long period of poor finishes.
Kosiski, a Dodge Weekly Series champion twice over, won the division title and the NDWS championship both in 1986. He also has an unrecord eight top-five finishes. He is currently the points leader at two tracks. Shane Riner (NDWS Division II), and Pete Anderson Jr.
Shane Riner
Shane Riner from Guyton is the Late Model driver and one of America's top scorers. With five72 points, Riner is currently one spot ahead of second-placed Joe Kosiski, who currently holds a 44-point lead. Both drivers have won a race this season, and Kosiski also has one win and 10 top-five finishes to his credit. Riner has much more to offer. Oglethorpe Speedway Park Late Model makes up the latest addition to the NASCAR standings.
For several years, Riner, the father of McKenzie (aged 5), and Ashley (14), Riner has been the center of attention. Angeline Riner is an attorney. He is not only attracted to the thrill of racing. It's easy to understand why he continues to pursue it with his family by his side. The team's success is a reflection of his family's support.
Joey Logano
Joey Logano is back with a bang despite a difficult start to 2016. He won the Martinsville pole and then finished just outside the top 11. After back-to-back DNFs at Kansas and Talladega, Joey Logano swung around to win the Sprint Cup All-Star Race at Kansas. He won the FireKeepers Casino400, then placed 40th at Coke Zero400 and claimed the Dover Championship.
Logano, who started the race in sixth spot on May 13, was quickly dropped back to midpack after a speeding fine and a puncture. He managed to stay in the middle of the pack for the remainder of the race but crashed into Danica Patrick and Aric Almirola during the final laps. Both drivers were injured in the fiery wreck, and Logano's post-race interview was marked by tears and apprehension.
Denny Hamlin
Denny Hamlin is the obvious choice for the nascar points title. He finished in the top-10 at each race this season. He has been consistent these past years. He won the Loudon race in the summer and finished fourth at New Hampshire. He has had a career average of six top-six finishes. He lost his only race this year to Dover because he was not able to finish the race.
Kyle Larson has been considered a contender for the NASCAR Cup Series title, but he's not been able get to the finish line since Kansas. Larson is currently tied for ninth place with Hamlin with nine17 points. Larson has one win. Hamlin would be eliminated from the playoffs, if Larson wins the regular season points championship.
