I won this week's fantasy league race. Lawgrad held on to win the playoffs segment. The final standings are:
Lavabe: 9783 points
Miles: 9612 points
Ymo: 9515 points
Iowa: 9468 points
Lawgrad: 9353 points
colchar: 9325 points

I will adjust my signature. This was a tough fantasy league competition this year!

And now comes the long, long wait until February 22nd, 2015!

Thanks, Ymo.

I was getting nervous as I saved my allocations. I wound up using every available Michael Waltrip, Boris Said, and Jeff Burton opportunity in the hopes of using Dillon and Larson at the end of the season. The A list was pretty good this year, and I wound up not using up my chances with any one driver. And as far as the B list goes, that was really scary at the end, as at Homestead, I had only one more chance to use Newman, Kes, and Hamlin. Jamie Mac had an impressive run through the middle races, and Truex impressed towards the end... that also helped.

That was a scary and well fought battle. Iowa turned it up BIG time. And look at LG's performance in the playoffs!!

Although Miles and Ymo are always tough, as are Iowa and LG, I think colchar will be the winner next year. After I win a season, he always wins the next one. :D

Brian Vickers had heart surgery to repair a hole in his heart. He seems to be in good shape, but the article is unclear how long the recovery period will be. I just hope he gets well soon; it's the second time he's had surgery for this issue.
