If you thought the real Chase was close, check out this week’s “Best Of The Rest Cup” standings.
Joey Logano Jumps To ‘Best Of The Rest Cup’ Points Lead; Mark Martin Close Behind
The top three drivers are closer than in the actual Chase, and only 11 points separate the new leader – Joey Logano – from second-place Mark Martin.
Former leader Jamie McMurray finally lost his grasp on the top spot after leading for seven of the eight weeks and tumbled to third.
Can Logano hold on? Will Martin end up with the coveted (not really) red plastic cup with a beverage of his choice?
In addition to watching the exciting Chase battle, make sure you keep an eye on Logano, Martin and McMurray over the next two weeks, too.
