Going into Homestead, we see several points competitions being focused on. (Heating up is probably not the correct adjective).
Looking at the race for that much coveted 35th place in the standings is one of those points races.
Going into Homestead, Kyle Petty is in 35th place.
He is 187 points behind Paul Menard. He ain't moving into 34th in this last race.
But, there's a slim chance the Petty can lose his grip on 35th.
Slim because the 2 cars behind Petty would have to do extremely well to garner the points necessary to surpass Petty, if petty manages a fair finish.
Trailing behind Petty in 36th, is Scott Riggs, 116 points back, and Joe Nemechek, who is 134 points behind Petty.
Again, they'd have to do great while Petty experiences a catastrophe for them to take advantage of.
The reality: Kyle Petty has the 35th spot locked up.
Point Standings going into HOMESTEAD
I'm surprised that there hasn't been anymore talk of Bobby LaBonte getting in the seat for Petty at Homestead for the sake of keeping them in the Top 35 of owners points.
