Ross Chastain. Martin Truex Jr. Who are the other drivers who lead the points? Who is the favorite for the title? Who will be the next race winner?
Joe Kosiski
Joe Kosiski remains the NASCAR points lead at the conclusion of Division II races at Oglethorpe speedway park. Shane Riner, Eric Humphries and Joe Kosiski continue to follow him. Riner won the sixth race at Oglethorpe, and now has seven90 points. Humphries only has 592 points. After a long streak of poor finishes, Kosiski's streak of poor finishes has ended.
Kosiski has been a Dodge Weekly Series national champion twice, winning both the division title in 1986 as well as the NDWS crown in 2000. He also has an unrecord eight top-five finishes. He is currently leading points at both tracks. Shane Riner (NDWS Division II), and Pete Anderson Jr.
Shane Riner
Shane Riner, a Late Model driver from Guyton, Ga. is one of the top points scorers in the country. With five72 points, Riner is currently one spot ahead of second-placed Joe Kosiski, who currently holds a 44-point lead. Both drivers have won races this season. Kosiski has also had one win and 10 top five finishes. Riner has much more to offer. Oglethorpe Speedway Park Late Model makes up the latest addition to the NASCAR standings.
Two daughters, Ashley, 14 and McKenzie (5 years old), are Riner's parents. Riner has been a prominent figure for many years. Angeline Riner is an attorney. He is not only attracted to the thrill of racing. It's easy for him to keep pursuing his dream with his children by his side. The family's support has been a key factor in the team's success.
Joey Logano
Despite a rough start to 2016, Joey Logano has come out with a bang this year. After winning the Martinsville pole, he struggled to finish in the top 11. Joey Logano won at Kansas the Sprint Cup All-Star Race after back-to-back DNFs in Kansas and Talladega. He won the FireKeepers Casino400, then placed 40th at Coke Zero400 and claimed the Dover Championship.
Logano, who started the race in sixth spot on May 13, was quickly dropped back to midpack after a speeding fine and a puncture. He managed to stay in the middle-pack for most of the race, but unfortunately he crashed into Danica and Aric almirola during the final laps. Both drivers were injured in the fiery wreck, and Logano's post-race interview was marked by tears and apprehension.
Denny Hamlin
Denny Hamlin was logically chosen to lead the nascar points champion after finishing in the top-10 of every race this season. He has been consistent the last few years. He won Loudon in the summer, and finished fourth at New Hampshire. He has averaged a top six finish throughout his career. His only loss in the 2018 season was his DNF at Dover which cost him his best finish.
Kyle Larson is a worthy contender to win NASCAR Cup Series Championship, but he has not been in a position to claim victory lane since Kansas. Larson is a winner with one race, and he currently holds a tie with Hamlin for the points standings at nine17 points. Hamlin will not be able to play in the playoffs if Larson wins regular-season points champion.

How To
How to turn fast
To be able to go faster, you must get your car out in front of others during a race. This means that you need to turn before others. When you do this correctly, you'll make everyone behind you brake too, because they won't know what's going on ahead of them. You will avoid any collisions with vehicles coming from other directions. So how do you corner fast?
First, you must understand where you're going. If you don't know where you're headed, you'll probably be somewhere completely unexpected. You need to plan well. You can make a map of your route to help you see where you are at any moment. This may seem like a lot, but it will save you a lot more headaches later.
Next, figure out when your turn will be. It's best to begin after passing the first corner. Once you pass the first corner, then you will know exactly where to begin. You will now have to decide whether or not you'll use either the inside or the exterior lane.
If you're planning to take the inside lane, you'll want to wait until there's no traffic in front of you. You'll then be able move quickly and not worry about hitting anyone. But once you enter the inside lane, you must stay in it. Do not allow yourself to drift back into the outside lanes. You might be able to hit someone else who is moving slowly if this happens. Be aware that crossing the line that divides the two lanes will cause you to lose control of your vehicle, and you could be in danger of being hit by someone else.
Once you have determined which lane to use, choose a point to turn. This problem can be approached in many different ways. Some people prefer to find a gap in the traffic. Others try to find a clear opening in the road. Others try to locate a point in the road where it curves around a hill. It doesn't really matter which route you take, just make sure you don’t block the whole road. If you do, then you'll end up causing traffic jams all across town.
After you've picked a spot to turn, you need to decide whether you'll be making a sharp left or a gradual curve. A sharper turn is more difficult than a gradual. However, it takes longer and requires more energy. Additionally, it can be more difficult to drive your car properly. For these reasons, most drivers prefer to make gradual turns.
Finally, you must accelerate only enough to pass the car in front. Too fast and you will crash into the bumper of the vehicle in front. And accelerating too late will cause you to run off the road. In either case, you'll lose control of your car and crash. This is why you should accelerate slowly. You should start slowly and increase your acceleration as you get closer to the edge.
Once you're done cornering, slow down immediately. This is especially true if you're driving in heavy traffic. This could result in you running someone over.
