65 laps later, Blech gets back into his car.
Harvick is on the lead lap.

Dinger been in the lead for about the last 45 laps. Vickers and Jr running well.

Lap 96 Vickers takes the lead.

Lap 110: Caution
Schrader tags the wall.
Burton and JG racing well.

Lap 126: Blech is racing again.
Lap 129: Ambrose is back on again.

Lap 178: KK racing again.
That leaves only Edwards still stuck in the garage. Lawgrad and I are fuming mad!

Lap 266
Kes led about 50 laps or so, then Kenseth, and now back to Kes.

Green flag pitting just ended.

500 is a lot of laps...

Lap 288: Edwards is back on the track. Pathetic.
Still Kes, Kenseth, Burton, JG, Jr.

Here is a dumb question that I probably know the answer to but cannot remember at the moment - do you still receive qualifying points for a driver if you decide to leave them on the bench for the actual race?

Yes.

Iowa Devil wins this week, as no one else picked an A lister that survived without losing at least 40 laps. Iowa picked Kes... who won the race.

Congrats Iowa!!

Ymo had Gordon and Jr in his picks; the teammates bumped each other, causing JG to finish 35th. Jr still did well, until he received a speeding penalty in his last pit stop.

Miles had Smoke, who wrecked late, but still finished in the top 15. However, Miles picked MM, who did not race.

YIKES! Thanks! Am thinking I should give up picking brackets and switch to just NASCAR! You understand there is manical laughter coming from Mr. ID the retired ref who claims I ask more questions during a race than I do pay attention! He's pretty close to right - I go for the roar of the engines and the cute young men in the tight firesuits!

All hail IowaDevil... who now leads the overall point standings!

Iowa leads Ymo by 11 points. Ymo leads me by 30 points, and I lead Tilly by 24 points.
A mere 7 points further back is colchar, who leads ddSIL2 (JGo) by 69 pts. ddSIL2 leads lawgrad by 13 points, with knights 105 points further back. Miles trails knights by 24 points.

ON to Fontana!!

I thought I was going to drop further than I did...

I hate it when teammates knock one another out. You were looking good until Jr bumped Gordon.

Jimmie Johnson and his team have been freed:

Qualifying in California:
Pole goes to Hamlin. Then it is Blech, MM, Biff, and KKahne.

Cannot decide who to start from my A List drivers - JJ or Smoke

Looks like Tilly and you could have the exact same picks this week.

How many times did you and I have the same ones down the stretch last year?

And I just made the switch to Smoke (and yes, I did it before seeing this thread). Somehow I expect this will come back to bite me on the ass. I just know it will.........

I changed my mind - again. That's it, I'm walking away from the computer for the last couple of minutes before the race starts.
