Ymo now leads 2nd place by 57 points. In second place is...
A TIE!!
Colchar and I are in a second place tie.
Iowa is now 110 points out of second.
185 pts further back is lawgrad, followed by Miles some 19 pts further back.
Tilly is only 60 pts back, followed by knights, who trails Tilly by 47 pts. Note that knights did not choose an entered C-lister yesterday.

By the way, Ymo is in trouble. He has only one pick left each for Almirola and Junior. He has no picks left with Biffle.
Knights also has but one pick left for Junior, but at least he has 3 picks left for Almirola.
Miles has 2 picks left for Truex, one pick left for Biff.
Lawgrad, Tilly, colchar, and I look like we all have no driver with fewer than four choices left.

On to Daytona!!

OK. I am hosed. The race just started, and just saw that one of my picks, DINGER, has been suspended for failing a drug test.

0 points for one of my B listers.

Still REALLY pissed... NASCAR announced the DINGER issue 66 minutes before the race.

No points even for the 22 car, which is racing with in Sam Hornish Jr in place of DINGER.

UGH...

By the way, Smoke started in the rear of the grid. Ambrose fell back early. Kenseth has lead EVERY lap of the first 34...
Whatever...

What this means for Dinger is unknown. Dinger may be in real trouble, pending this suspension.

2nd pit stops occurred under yellow, except for the RCR cars that all came in one lap earlier. Caution came out when HORNISH (aka Dinger's replacement) had a flat.
Laps 48 to 80 were led by Biffle and Kenseth. Remember that Kenseth led Biffle the first 42 laps. The two are racing in tandem, as they lead the inside line of cars.

During the yellow pits, JG was heading out, and clipped Newman who was just pulling out. KK was blocked by Newman, and stopped. Newman turned around and bumped Kes while Kes was being serviced. Fortunately, none of the pit people for Kes was hurt.

As they line up for the restart, it looks like Kenseth and Biff will line up side by side.

The line now is:
Kenseth, JG, Blech, Biff, Edwards.
70 laps to go.

69 laps to go: CAUTION
KuBu moves into the middle lane to draft behind Bayne. He then got squeezed by Almirola. Labonte got the worst damage when several braked safely (Hamlin, Waltrip). KuBu got damage.
Most drivers came down, except the front five.

Still figuring out what happened. Waltrip hit Logano; Elliot hit JG.
Biff still being reviewed.
Kenseth looks to be in 20th or so coming out of the pits... took 4 tires, while everyone else took two.

16 laps to go...
Smoke in the lead, but Kenseth and Biff have charged from 20th to fifth and sixth.
Kenseth and Biff have been the best tandem. Don't know that they can get to the lead. Kenseth clinches the bonus for having led the most laps.
Logano racing well, despite having been hit in the last incident.

15 laps to go... CAUTION... Kes got loose, spun, but no one hit him. Easy repair, and he gets to stay on the lead lap.

Bowyer, Logano, Hamlin big hits.
Blech and JG got hit,
Hamlin came up too fast on Biff. Biff pushed Kenseth to the lead, with Smoke in Second.
Truex hit good, w/JPM, Ambrose slamming into the wall. Bayne & Gilliland & Mears got hit but good. Menard hit solid.
VERY complicated!! 14 cars involved in this one.
But seriously, Kenseth and Biff have been f'ing amazing!! They will line up in a draft on the restart, with Smoke on the outside.
