I know I picked the polesitter and the no. 2, but haven't seen any listing much beyond yours, Lavabe.

:9f:
The fantasy site also summarizes the starting grid. Once qualifying is done, you'll see RACE NOTES next to the EXPERT PICKS. It comes in a pdf, but you can go to each of the three groups, and see who is starting where, followed by a few notes about some of the drivers to watch.

Jayski.com is VERY much into lists, but sometimes it's overkill. Jayski not only gives the starting grid, you'll also get the qualifying speeds in each round of practice.

Boogity boogity boogity! Let's go racing boys!

MM got a little loose early, and is now racing in 5th.

Looks like the most popular picks in the fantasy league are: Edwards (A), MM(B), Biff(B), and Bobby Labonte(C).

Lap 138 of 312
Dinger got nicked by Menard, causing Jamie Mac to bump into Menard. Menard got the worst of it, and tagged the inside wall. Dinger and JamieMac have some repairs to do.

JJ was going to have to come in with a loose wheel, but the yellow flag pit stop saved him. He's come in 3 times during this yellow to repair it.
JJ, JamieMac, and Dinger are still on the lead lap.
