No offenses intended but if you are having to use poly grip she might have been around the block too many times.
3m makes a two face tape, that might could help.
I have one other idea if needed.

You can still get value from KY, and yet you think you've been screwed? Call me when you have to use Poly-Grip. o_O

@$#&*%&# 3 points from qualifying.
 
team "coming from behind" got the big mac, got the big fries and yeah give me the large diet something. 11pts, not steak and tails, but the polident and the KY is still on the shelf. When Denny and Kyle and the Dinger were 1,2,3, I was in steak and tails country for a few minutes, oh well may be next week.

1 point for KyBu. I don't make my picks based on how well I think someone will start, only on how I think they'll finish. Maybe that's a mistake on my part, but how else can I pick? If I have to narrow my field before qualifying, I'm going with drivers I think will give me the most bang for the buck. That bang comes from the final race position points, right? I can find stats for qualifying history, but why pick someone who historically qualifies well but finishes in the 40s? By that logic, we should max out on Joe Nemechek by May.

I'm not nuts about scoring systems that use methods other than the basic NASCAR system. If drivers and teams received points for qualifying, they'd treat it differently. They don't, so how can you pick when you're working with a different set of criteria and points system from what they consider important?

I couldn't make heads or tails of NASCAR.com's scoring. Drivers don't race with regard to fastest lap, number of cars passed, pit stop speed, windshield clarity, weight lost, etc. Geez, if the '1 point per position' is good enough for actual competition, it ought to be good enough for the sanctioning body's own fantasy league.
 
OK all you young people out there . Don't do what I just did . Took everyone off my bench and moved them up.This is a stupid move that you will regret . You had it right the first time .Leave it alone or you will kick yourself later. Got it?

First instinct is normally the way to go. It seems that every single time I move someone from the bench to a started it's a mistake.

Trouble is , if your guy has no speed in practice or qualifying , and you have a top five car on your bench , can you afford to wait and see what happens in the race? I may change back if I see any speed in second practice.

The only practice I normally look at is Happy Hour. I may look at next-to-last as a tie-breaker, but not otherwise.

Kids, are you paying attention?
 
Yeah, the scoring is pretty different from they way Nascar does it. 48pts is max and you don't get zip for qualifying. You can win more points with the Yahoo. The Yahoo game is also different because you can win qualifying points. I like getting points for qualifying, makes qualifying more interesting. Race points are pretty much the same, you get points for a lap led, most laps and finish. If you driver wins all the categories, max points is 120 instead of 48.

That wasn't the case for me in the first three races.

In the first two races my benches finished better than my starters in each group. :oops: So right before the start of the third race, I switched all of my starters and benches, and got more points than I would have if I kept everything the same.

You have given me new hope Dylan. I'm not going to quit the pool , I'll wait till after the race and see how I do. Thanks.
 
This year is gonna be tough. I was happy with my 280 since one of my drivers finished 35th, but I still managed to drop quite a bit.
 
Another miserable points day for me. Only 228 points. For whoever thinks they're doing bad, and least you're not doing as bad as me (unless you're worse than almost last in 38th).
 
Jr, Logano and AJ saved my ass, because the #2 once again messed up on tire strategy.

They had him listed as 6th, what happened?

Congratulations MoeJoe 24th to 10th.

They used video to determine order at the yellow because they don't want guys plowing into wrecks at full speed anymore, something Biffle said they were told after Daytona.
 
I'd share my thoughts on Fantasy this week but it would be a Tony Stewart interview............

Nice of you to show up MOEJOE;)
