We've reached a field of 43 players this year. Nice to see that kind of turnout.

[dpkimmel2001]

A lotta W's in there but I didn't see the word 'Winner'. I'm just sayin.

Ah, ya missed it. Don't you get it? The "weiners." A pun so subtle it is used as a pun to have with coffee in the morning.

And here I thought that was a Martinsville reference.

And here I thought that was a Martinsville reference.

It easily could have been since Martinsville "weiners" are considered to be "winners" or if you so choose, "weiners."

 

[dpkimmel2001]

For the undecided, there is still time left to join and make picks. Details in the first post of this thread.

For the rest.....

Qualifying completed.....

Final practice in the books.....

Don't forget to make you picks.....

Good luck to our full field of YF Racing teams that we have this year!

Your going to need it!

 

[SlicedBread22]

Thanks I forgot all about this lol.. got em in.

Deadline to select your drivers is Feb 23 1:25pm EST

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Currently @ 45 players this year!

 

[Brent]

I actually came out of Daytona with more than 200 points!! If I entered everything correctly, I will come out with 290 points, which is pretty good considering how many crashes there were.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

After Week #1, ROLL TIDE ROLL rolls right into victory lane with a big first week win and this weeks impressive top score of 388. tedateconomy comes in 28 behind @ 360. Sucks to have that winner benched. Don't you think ted? 2 points behind, coming in 3rd this week is Old Timer Racing. That's this weeks podium finishers. Congrats to all.

Honorable mention goes out to Matt this week. I know you're probably huddled in a corner somewhere about now but look at it this way..... You've now set yourself up to have the biggest comeback of the year. It's all up from here.

Next up it's The Profit on CNBC 500 @ Phoenix.

Deadline to select your drivers is Feb 28 5:00am EST

I see my awesome fantasy league performance at rp tracks has remained steady. Haha

Having a good week passes quickly into OMG . All my bench was really strong this week ( except Kyle Larson). Incredibly 7 out of 8 were in the top 11 . Never done it before and never will again . Congrats to Junior Nation , big ,big weekend for them.

 

[#17D500winner]

Man, that 388 sure smoked us

I had the winner on the bench and still scored 348. Not bad...for me

Yikes! You aint kiddin'.

I seriosly need to start doing the opposite of what I feel is right at RP tracks. 2 years ago 3 of my 4 drivers got taken out on the 2nd lap.

I thought your picks were pretty solid, with one exception, but we all know that RP tracks are a crapshoot where anyone can do well.

 

[ztevans]

My starters were feast or famine. Junior, Hamlin, Mikey, M. Truex. 1-2-41-43

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Not too bad for an old lady. Made my picks about a month ago, and stuck with them.

don't fret about it, I didn't join up last year until after the Daytona and I finished up the season pretty high. So it isn't too late for those still thinking about joining up who haven't done so yet.

I made the all too often mistake of making those last minute bench/starter changes. Every single one was the wrong choice.

Your first answer/thought is usually the right one. For 30 years I tried to make my students understand that.

And I'm still trying to learn from you.

I looked at your picks and couldn't believe you didn't have Jr. I had him on my bench

I was trying to play the percentages. Going for drivers that weren't selected so much. Normally that works well @ restrictor plate venues where decent finishes are kind of a crap shoot. Not yesterday though.

 

[The Long Shot]

Methinks I should have played the "Abbey Road" card and asked for advice from ted@economy...

 

[StandOnIt]

well, I am 204 points ahead of last year at this time. On to Phoenix.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

I got 1st and 3rd and still was only 14th best.

It's too late ..baby ...no it's too late ...though I really did want to help you ...Carol King ,maybe ? I think if I have any more luck in me , I will pass it along to my buddy Matthew 2470 . Take the long term outlook you guys , this game has a way of evening things out very quickly . Nobody can predict accidents and parts failures .

 

[ToyYoda]

I had Clint Bowyer on the bench. I do not regret that decision

One more song reference for you LongShot ....I'm a loser , and I'm not what I appear to be .... Watch Matt pass me next week.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Don't forget you picks. Remember, if you don't update them, It will default to last weeks pick selection.

Deadline to select your drivers is Feb 28 5:00am EST

It'll be here before you know it.

 

[blanston]

Well, crud. I didn't get my drivers picked in time. Maybe I'll get lucky....

Other than Waltrip it looks like a pretty good lineup.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

My picks were piss-poor at q'ing.
