The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series has completed nine races. Wow, the season is flying bye. The drivers in the top 10 of the point standings are starting to separate them from the pack. Usually after the All-Star race (3 weeks from now) the teams who were slow to start the season begin to catch up. Maybe Joe Gibbs Racing will get hot in the summer months.
