Dover Racing today.
Lap 162 of 400 CAUTION
Kenseth, who had been racing in the front three all day, took the lead some 40 laps earlier, suddenly had his engine blow up. He is done for the day.

Otherwise, this has been a Kyle Busch race all day. Truex staying near the front. Hamlin, who had the pole, has been mediocre for him, sitting in 10-14th most of the afternoon, after leading the first 35 laps.
Currently, it's:
Blech, Truex, JMac, Hamlin, JPM, KK, JJ, Harvick, Kes, Harvick

120 laps to go: Caution: Tim Hill issue AND TRUEX starts to smoke from the engine.
It looks like that's TWO Toyotas that have had engines blow up.

Edwards gets a pit stop penalty for exiting too quickly.

100 laps to go
CAUTION
Newman and Gilliland had been bumping each other. Newman finally plows into Gilliland, and both spin in an accident, Both are out.
Gilliland gets out of car and has an animated conversation with Newman.

84 laps to go: CAUTION: Kahne spins completely around, bumps his rear against the wall.

72 laps to go
No caution, but Jamie Mac had a tire go down, and has to go off the track , vacating 9th place.
60 laps to go:
JJ, KuBu, JPM, JG, Harvick, Hamlin, Blech, Bowyer, Kes, Jr
Edwards 13
Stenhouse 14
Logano 15
Burton 17

Ragan 24
Patrick 25
Reutimann 28
Truex 38
Kenseth 40

24 laps to go: CAUTION: Hamlin brushes the wall, and right front tire is down.
That's two of my drivers OUT.
Miles is in a similar situation.
Ymo has all four drivers in the race. I think Ymo will take the lead in Fantasy League.
Colchar, Lawgrad, and Iowa have one driver off each.

JPM may just win this when they restart.

They will restart at about 18 laps to go.

On the restart, JJ took off before JPM (who was 1st), but JPM was just spinning his tires. JJ has been black-flagged!

JPM, Smoke, JG, Blech, Kes with 12 to go

5 to go
JPM leads Smoke by a car length, JG is no more than one tenth of a second behind the two. TIGHT RACING!!

2 laps to go, SMOKE TAKES THE LEAD!!

SMOKE WINS!!!

Order of finish:
Smoke, JPM, JG, Blech, Kes, Bowyer, Logano, Harvick, MM, Jr
Burton, KuBu, Stenhouse, Edwards, Biffle, Mears, JJ, AA, Ambrose, Menard
Labonte, Ragan, KK, Patrick, Wise, Reutimann, Dillon, Stremme, Blaney, Yeley
Nemechek, Cassill, Jamie Mac, Hamlin, Hill, Newman, Gilliland, Truex, Kvapil, Kenseth
Bliss, McDowell, Riggs

I believe Ymo leapfrogged up to 1st place with a massive performance today, with 3 top 10s, and a great performance from Mears.

I promise not to do it again...

Haven't been posting due to some issues that my laptop keeps picking up when entering this site.
Congrats to colchar for a good performance at Pocono last weekend. Next up... MICHIGAN.
JJ & Smoke are heating up.
Aside from Blech, Joe Gibbs Racing is having repeated engine issues.
Joey FRickin' Logano, JP Montoya, and Jamie Mac have been racing well.
What's up with Richard Childress Racing? I mean, aside from a good performance by Harvick, they've been pretty dull.

Right now, Ymo leads Miles by 14 points. Miles leads me by 74 points. I lead Iowa by 63 points, and Iowa leads colchar by 187 points. LG trails colchar by 115 points.

Things are really tight in this year's fantasy race.

I laid the proverbial egg last race.
