Miguel Gomes is the man of the hour in TASCOR these days. With one win and a runner-up that almost was a win, the Portuguese born driver has been the most impressive one over the past few weeks. Mark Agee rejoins the elusive circle of the Power Rankings with his stellar performance at Darlington, leading to his first career win. But meanwhile, our defending series champion is clawing his way back into the chase picture.

New this week: David Topie, Mark Agee, Carlos Costa, John Higman Jr., Bill Fields
Dropped out: Normunds Sarma, Changyoun Kim, James Krahula, Ricky Hardin, Ben Fischer

He just barely missed back to back wins at Richmond at Darlington. Now he'll try to close the deal again at Charlotte. |

He was probably the most surprised of any, that he came back to a fourth place finish at Darlington, after a struggle-filled day. |

What a nice way to get the first career win. A late race pass for the lead, working with the tires, fighting fair but clean, just to get to v-lane. Perfect! |

Carlos Costa |
The way he ran lately, you might think he's planning to impress us all. And he did, with consecutive top-five efforts! |

Ricardo Pino |
He described Darlington as one of the worst races of his career. Still he got a top-ten out of this - and continued a tale of tensions with James Krahula. |

He was very disappointed with the late race spin at Darlington, ultimately costing him a shot at the win. At Charlotte, he'll try to do better. |

John Higman Jr. |
Ever since the race in the Phoenix desert in March, he's been right hot with three top-ten's in the last four. Isn't it supposed to be freezing cold, whereever Coors Light is? |

Bill Fields |
At Darlington, he just barely missed a top-ten finish for the fourth time this year. If he had finished one, two positions better in those races, he'd have seven top-ten's instead of three. |

He had to give up with an engine failure at Darlington, but that won't hide the fact he was really fast in the last few races, proofing Agee Motorsports is coming around. |

Tom Splain |
He was hoping to take advantage of Changyoun Kim's second consecutive DNF at Darlington. Instead, he finished 21st himself. |
