This is when I really start to heat up. At least I'm hoping so. Cause I need it!!!
 
Dinger will fail because of more engineering problems. They are that consistent.
 
Dinger will take his turn to collect Rogers 'spin the chemical imbalance' bounty.
 
Totally forget to re-set my lineup. Gotta make chicken salad out of chicken sh** this week.
 
I just switched out Martin for Earnhardt. Hopefully he'll finish 2nd or 3rd :D
 
Biffle and Aric are my 2 most used with just 3 and 4 left. Everyone else has 6 or 7 left. Biffle will be easy to replace as late bloomers on the A list get up to speed. Aric is the best bargain on C list because RPM is the class of the C list field. Get them while they're hot.

Way to blister the field. Congrats! 61 bonus points this weekend!

All 4 drivers led a lap, and Biffle led the most. That's 50 points right there. 3 Finishing in the top 5 didn't hurt either, and Aric winning the pole and finishing in the top 20 was the icing.

I'm coming to reclaim my seat dude. Next week will decide the spring bragging rights.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I had to replace my keyboard after I unexpectedly spit my coffee reading the above quote. Don't let the high praise cloud you judgement. What do they say about the blind squirrel? Or, is it a pig?

lol I could use some good trash talking today. As far as the critters, they're your pets, so how would I know what your neighbors are saying about them? ;)

BTW, I'm just 51 points behind you. Not to make you nervous or anything.........

I heard laughing and thought it was my children playing some game or something and then I realized it was me reading your post. Your total from last week looks like you made a deal with the devil. I banking on that being a one shot deal but good luck to ya!

ROFL!

I'll be back. I just need to do a little thinking. ;)
 
If my calculations are correct, I've gained an average of 95 points the past 2 weeks. I think I can relax a little this week while making my picks, and after the race you can tell the world it's actually your kids crying. :D

+5 for the week. Way to go. Don't give up on this game. Many look like they've already given up for the season and that's too bad. They don't realize how quickly things can change in this game.

As I post from my phone..... Two keyboards in a day! A new record. I think I have to make another trip to WalMart for a new keyboard. Yeah, that's right..... A guy that shops at WalMart is kicking your a$$. It's a good thing I chose to go with my bench drivers this past weekend so I could give you a little hope.

That's one funny video. It's funny you mentioned Walmart, because I just ordered 2 remote control AC units for my aged Mother's apartment because she now has trouble working the knobs on the last set.
