Although I won this week, the big news is that Ymo has now bolted into the lead. Only 80 points separates the top four. Congrats to Ymo... for now. ;)

Is now when the trash talking starts?

Carl Edwards won the Sonoma road race yesterday. The last lap saw a thrilling charge from Jeff Gordon, but Edwards held on for the win.

Miles won fantasy league yesterday, but by a mere 30 points or so. He now holds the overall lead by 30 pts over Ymo. I;m about 70 points further back, followed by colchar, IowaDevil, and lawgrad.

A quick check in my calculations shows that IOWA DEVIL won the fantasy picks tonight. CONGRATS, IOWA!! It helped picking the top two!!

She has been burning up the track!

150 points or so separate out first through fifth places in the fantasy league. A very bunched up league this year!

She's a happy lady!

The good thing about this NASCAR fantasy stuff is that it looks like I will make the playoffs.
