29 Grissom Steve 914 Green David 899 Cope Derrike 1901
30 Cope Derrike 877 Nemechek Joe 896 Mast Rick 1784
Just for the record, the first 11 races included 7 Super Speedways, 3 Short Tracks, & 1 Road Course....the second 11 included 9 Super Speedways, 1 Short Track, & 1 Road Course.
The guys on the improve are Ted Musgrave, Ken Schrader, Kyle Petty, Jeremy Mayfield, & Steve Grissom (discounting Ricky Craven who missed 2 races with injuries early in the season). Musgrave has improved the most positions in the standings since Race #11 (Charlotte) with a whopping 11 position gain....Petty has advanced 7 spots, Mayfield & Schrader 6 each, and Grissom has shown a 5 position improvement.
On the down side, it's a free-fall for Ward Burton, Bobby Hamilton, & Brett Bodine. Burton has fallen 10 spots since CMS, Hamilton & Bodine 9 each.
Time is running out for some of these guys to turn it around....and Darlington is not usually a place conducive to an about-face (of course, everything is gonna be turned around this weekend, so who knows).
