Round 5 pick 'em champ: Geoffrey Miller


the standings.
after round 5 of 36 (Food City 500, Bristol)

1. 35 points - trevor sager (1 race win, 1-Top 10)
2. 35 points - geoffrey miller (3 - Top 5s, 3-Top 10s)*
3. 15 points - drew owen (1 - Top 5, 2 - Top 10s)

*= trevor still leads the standings due to race-wins tiebreaker.
well, the COT was a success in its first race.

trevor sager (35 points + 0 points) - matt kenseth. In a race that was not typical for recent Matt at Martinsville, the only time Kenseth played a role all day was with an early caution. Matt got into the UPS Toyota of Dale Jarrett, ending his day. Jarrett was none too pleased after the race, and neither were the fans hoping to get free curly fries on Monday. Kenseth wound up 11th.

geoffrey miller (25 points + 10 points) - jeff gordon. In what was ultimately a statement day for the 24 bunch, Gordon started on the pole and fell back dramatically to as far as 27th. However, the DuPont Chevy hit pit road nearly every chance it could and the crew adjusted on it all day. A 3rd place is a great day for these guys -- in what is looking like a start to a year for championship contention.

drew owen (10 points + 5 point) - dale earnhardt jr. The Budweiser chevy came home with its best finish of the year at Bristol with a 7th place, and for the first time since Daytona, Drew has collected some points. He's scrapping back into it.
