Results From Atlanta - Folds of Honor QuickTrips 500

   Who here isn't liking this new down-force package?  I personally think it's great racing and watching those cars in the turns with the drivers turning right just to keep the cars heading in the right direction is wonderful.  All that and a very worn Atlanta race track to a whooping to those goodyear tires, which ultimately helped Johnson get win #76.  An early pit stop gave him quite an advantage over Harvick who tried to run him down, but just wore out his tires.  Junior made an exciting pass to finish second at the line, beating out Kyle Busch.
   That being said, there were some penalties.  Truex nailed 15 points, while Allmendinger, Dillon, Menard and Newman were all hit for 10 a piece.  All of this is reflected in the updated pool standings.  Really bad for Colleen, who has both Newman and Menard.  I am sure all of these are being appealed and if overturned, you will all get your points back.
   In the half pool, both John M and Janice D had Jimmie to win.  And both made up ground in the standings.  Rich S, Blaster and Colleen are off to a strong start, while newcomers Jericho and Keith are at the bottom.  Long way to go, so have no fear.
