Yes! butt I did not have "JJ to Win" in the race so FB owes me :D

I understood that. What I was saying is that you don't need to take anyone off the bench for qualifying and I was referring to Ted's wager on everyone picking Johnson. It's all good :)

I had him for qualifying butt benched for the race to save him for the mile an halfs, Kenseth pulled me a 3rd place finish anyhow.

Somehow, Flflash thinks I made the wager. I just pointed out that you can't pick 2 A bracket drivers, which Harvick and JJ are.

Maybe you owe him money for some other reason. I guess he didn't get the memo that went out, warning people not to loan you money ;)

Thank you very much. Just trying to give you something to shoot for. ;)

I didn't get a chance to watch the race but I've been trying to stay up to date. My real time scoring crapped out on me with 25 to go.

All of trackpass including Raceview crapped out as well. This happens regularly and when you call they blame it on you, system etc, its always your fault so they dont have to make it up.
 
Wow , talk about tight racing back in the pack . I moved up three positions but with only three points . You guys up at the top don't get to have this much fun.

I'm no longer feeling good about being in second. I wish I could drop down to 20th and have some real fun. :(
 
While my 281 points didn't advance me in either of my leagues, it did improve my position in the overall standings by 4,766 positions - which sounds like a hell of a lot until you realize that that is only 3%...

Points are points. Keep scoring points like that and the positions will take care of themselves.

I scored 350 and didn't move any spot either.

Once people start running out Biffle, Kenseth, Johnson, Kahne, Almirola etc. it'll get plenty interesting ;)

I passed on Almorola because I have only 3 starts left with him, and it burned me. I should have stuck to my 'Get them while they're hot' creed.

I was thinking the same thing, guys are gonna exhaust their starts.

I have been very judicious with my picks - and it shows with my crappy results. I am hoping that with the number of starts I have remaining for the strong late-season performers that I can stage some sort of a rally. I have been burned more than once this year when one of my picks was in line for a great day and ended up behind the wall for one stupid reason or another. There's a looooong way still to go!

Yeah, most had Johnson,Kahne and Almirola this week, that's why a good day, didn't really mean a good jump in the standings. I had Kahne and Truex, JR on the bench for Biff and Logano. Still I had four in the top 11.

My only regret was swapping Bowyer for Newman because I already had MM in.

That's what normally happens and it usually sets up for a tight finish. Last year I had a pretty good lead that dwindled down to a lead of only one point with Homestead remaining. I was able to pull it out for the victory but a lot of luck was involved.

Get them while they're hot is the way to go IMO. Points are points. They all add up.

Tip just for you Fender..... I hear Kurt Busch did really, really well in Pocono testing and is the hot pick this weekend. ;)

lol I heard he bought a wig and will be racing as Rose Busch. Keep your eyes peeled for a hot new C list entry.

Mears has repeatedly killed me this year. Hopefully you'll get a better outcome.

I'm starting Busch, Bowyer, Martin and Cassill.

I'm trying to save some of the top C drivers for later and actually thought of Cassill but passed on him - this time - but see him getting better as the season goes on.
 
I got Kyle , Kane , Martin and Cassell . It is truly a toss up weekend . Likely we will all have bad weeks.

That's the tough part. Dropping Almirola last week in favor of Mears was a big mistake.

Points are points but I also like to save some starts for the last half of the season. Rarely do the guys who do well in the first segment finish well in the end.
 
Bloody Sunday. Kahne and Cassil wreck, and Kyle blows up. Come on Jr! Help me break 200. :(
 
I guess switching out Logano for Kahne wasn't such a great move on my part:dunce:

I make some quick picks on Monday, then move my bench after qualifying. This week, I took out JJ, Marcos and Reutimann, and put in 2 wrecks and a blown engine. :owquitit:
 
159 points! Holy crap, I didn't know that was possible when all 4 drivers can score 90+ with qualifying.
 
Holy crap!!! We're in the wrong race thread. This race was last week :eek:
