Looking at isn't the point everybody knows to make it into the -- it's like any other sport you make it into the playoffs those who didn't make that are out those who did make it -- you just kind of all start over with a new season.

But you look at these names at the top of the board.

Denny Hamlin Jimmie Johnson Tony Stewart -- -- -- bread that Kozlowski.

Familiar names got it you got there violent and it's one thing to see it here is another to say it.

You guys are always all right there yeah it's going to be tied I mean when I look hit the the summer months.

Each team -- you mentioned there and got onto -- hot streak but it would last or through weeks and go away and right now -- him with private the most competitive guy.

And their innings shuffled up -- we going to Chicago with a very tight you know reset that they put in place and what to -- Tony certainly on the change from last -- tight he and Carl Edwards tied in points and it came down to who won more races in the year which was Tony Stewart he was the chief himself.

I'm not sure we'll have that kind of -- about but that potentials are again the Lowe's car they -- for your family this is most.

You work your way through you can you can work up tents my -- -- since two cars in there as well.

It's going to be tough and I I think everybody's going to be strong answer the one track -- worry about is Talladega restrictor plate race that we have there.

No telling if you're gonna come back -- and -- terrorists or not but on the other nine that it's good solid racing -- really nine really tracks for the 48.
