Last week, we gave William Byron a mulligan for his Dover crash and kept him atop our weekly rankings.
Then he thanked us with a 23rd at Kansas. That earned him a trip to Tumble City, all the way back to sixth.
In recent weeks, I’ve been preaching the assumption that Kyle Larson will be too distracted by his upcoming Indy 500 efforts to be fully focused on his day job. Not consciously, of course, but distracted nonetheless.
Lo and behold, turns out I was right. Kyle only won by an inch last Sunday. Imagine if he hadn’t been reading his Indy For Dummies manual during pit stops!
The least we could do was give him the view from up top this week.

My theory is if you walk up the track and take a real thorough look at a Darlington Stripe, you’ll wind up feeling way worse for the wall than you do the race car. I mean look at that egregious vehicular vandalism. pic.twitter.com/8Rrq7TjiLj
