Top 35 Owners Bubble: After NH

This week, I thought I'd look at the bubble, +/- 200 points in the owners standings. At least that way I have something to write about because judging from the number of starts, we only have 36 cars struggling for that golden (??) exemption spot.

Zoinks, New Hampshire was a good thing for Michael Waltrip, moving his beleaguered No 55 Toyota up 4 spots so he's now 127 points in front of the 35th spot bubble. The other big winner was the 78 car, but unless he continues to compete regularly, it's a moot point to mention him.

Otherwise, it was a bunch of one's and two's in both direction. Just to make sure Waltrip's camp didn't get used to total success, lady luck plucked the No 00 car down 4 spots and is now tied for 35th with the No 77 car. So much for taking the car points from the 2 car?

Heck, the No 55 car is outperforming the 77 car. Ouch.

It's tight between 32nd and 36th so the race stays a notch above boring!
