Chris Forsberg has opened up a gigantic lead in the race for the Triple Crown with a win at both Atlanta and Sonoma. He currently leads Tanner Foust by a whopping 59 points. In the scenario where Chris Qualifies 16th and is eliminated in the Top 16 with Tanner qualifying first and taking the event win, we get Chris (+ 55 points) at 269 and Tanner (+ 108) at 263. With only the Irwindale event remaining, Chris would need to fail to make an appearance in the Top 16 in order for Tanner to take away the Triple Crown.

- Chris Forsberg - 214

Those standings are quite interesting. Tony Angelo is doing better than I though he was. I’d love to see any of the guys from DA win the championship. Can’t rule out Tanner or Gushi. Those two attract many fans to the sport.
