Thanks for your assistance and efforts. I have a similar ranking except that I have almost the reverse with Larson ranked 8 with Bowyer ranked 13.
what are you seeing in Bowyer that I am missing?
I had Bowyer 12th prior to the Dover prelims, but he ran so well in those prelims (6th, in my numbers) it vaulted him up to 9th. With Larson, I had him 16th prior, and his prelims numbers moved him up only to 14th. So, they both improved, but Bowyer looked a little better in the prelims, and he started out higher in the rankings, too.
Sorry for the delayed response!
