    Hamlin sidelined from racing for around six weeks

    He sure hit that concrete barrier pretty damn hard. Hope he has a full recovery.

    Back pain is no fun.

    Think Gibbs would prefer him to concentrate on NW title. Martin should be able to keep car up there in points

    Certain tracks but yes given choice I'd want Martin in car. They need to keep car near top 10 in points

    Doesn't really matter that much since Denny isn't driving it. Unless they hope owners championship is in reach. Denny can still make chase with wild card IMO

    They said on race hub this week if top 10 in owners points they would be chase eligible.

    never heard of a driver being out of the car, and still being able to use the points, no matter where the owner pts are

    but i could be wrong of course, just never heard that

    like, Vickers isnt eligable even if the #55 stays in top 20 in owners pts is he? or martin if he had enough wins?

    What they said is could be a 13 car chase as top 10 in owner points gets in. Usually same as driver points so never been a factor.

    Ok read up on it and yes he'd be in if top 10in owner points but only to win owners championship. Gonna be hard as hell for him to get in top 20 when back and try and get a wildcard

    But they will have tracks he is good at like 2 Pocono races , a trip back to Martinsville etc. they would probably need 5 wins in my estimate

    What I had read that san estimate. Denny had mentioned he'd like to start races a few weeks from now and then use relief driver. So at least they are getting points.

    will be fun to see if he can I'd be Fukkin impressed if they make chase

    Yep, I agree.
    The 11 gets the best and most experienced driver available while MWR gets more races to evaluate Vickers.
    I did hear that Martin will not be in the car at Talladega. Vickers is mentioned as one of its possible drivers there.
