It was moved to 12 Noon today on ESPN. DVR is set to record (although not on HD, because we have so little space remaining).

During the rain delay yesterday, Daugherty and Labonte suggested they would be announcing in the next week or so a major bit of news regarding their team.

We are supposed to get it today. It is just starting now but is supposed to come down quite a bit later this afternoon and through this evening.

Guess who left the winner on his bench today...
and guess who won fantasy league for today's race.

By the way, Jamie Mac KILLED me today, but we do what we have to do when we start running low on picks.

SMOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tony Stewart wins today, in a fuel mileage special. On the last lap, Kenseth, JG, JJ, Blech, Menard, and I think like 4 others ran out of fuel. It looked like Gililand was caught pushing Kenseth on the final lap.

Stewart, Harvick, Jr, Edwards, Kes, Kurt, Bowyer, Newman, MM, JJ, Ragan, KK, Vickers, JPM, Burton, Logano, Smith, Truex, Ambrose, Menard, Kenseth, Blech, Bayne, etc...

No major accidents today. Jamie Mac blew an engine.

In fantasy league, Knights wins today, followed 10 pts back by Usul, 2 pts more to Tilly, 11 pts more to colchar, 5 pts more to Ymo, and 23 pts more to me (THANK you Jamie Mac

). CONGRATS TO KNIGHTS!!

This tightens up a little the race for the season: I am 83 pts ahead of Ymo, followed by knights 37 pts back, Usul 275 pts further back, Tilly 49 pts further back, and colchar 64 pts further back.

The C list seems to be the scene of carnage in fantasy league. Almost everyone is having issues with using up choices. I'm not facing issues in the C list, but my B list is going to be tricky.

On to New Hampshire!!

I am not in that bad a shape with the C-list drivers, I am just making poor choices - you know, like choosing Dinger over Jr. on this week's B-list

I was worried earlier in the season about running out of picks with the good C-list drivers (what are there, only two or three decent ones this year?) but have managed them fairly well, at least in terms of still having them available at this point in the season.

I'm in bad shape...

Newman takes the Loudon pole, followed by Kahne and Vickers.

Great minds think alike... colchar and I have the exact same roster this week. We'll see if we wind up with the same picks.

Boogity, boogity, boogity!! Let's go racing, boys!

Loudon just started. 10 laps in, Newman has led the whole way, followed by KK, JG, Vickers, Biffle, Harvick, JJ.

Indeed, the last two Fantasy League champions have EXACTLY the same picks today. C'MON Colchar!! Hope you win today! ;)

Halfway through the race (Lap 150 of 300)... green flag pitting
KK, JG, and Newman racing well most of the day.

Penske's Kes & Kurt NOT racing well.

CAUTION lap 159: Cassil with a down tire.
JG had not come in... only 4 drivers NOT in the pits. Will pit under yellow.
Looks like there will be only one more stop after this.

KK has the lead, followed by JG, Ragan, MM, Harvick, Newman, Biff, Bowyer, JJ, JPM, Blech, Jr, Truex.

Lavabe · Post by **Lavabe** » September 25th, 2011, 4:19 pm

88 laps to go... Green flag pitting beginning
JG running away from the field.

The pit stopping may be the last pits of the race for a number of cars.

JJ NOT running well.
Smoke and Kes racing well, and now in the top ten. Newman falling apart.

Lavabe · Post by **Lavabe** » September 25th, 2011, 4:29 pm

70 laps to go... JG pits, but runs out of fuel, causing a slow pit. Kes took the lead, but came in shortly afterwards. Should make it to the end.
JPM had the lead a lap, he comes in too.
Vickers takes over, but he'll need to come in.

Lavabe · Post by **Lavabe** » September 25th, 2011, 4:35 pm

56 laps to go... JJ, Truex, Kurt Busch, and Smith have all led, and all have pitted. The standings won't settle for another 5-10 laps. The big loser in the last round of pits was JG.

Lavabe · Post by **Lavabe** » September 25th, 2011, 4:39 pm

48 laps to go:
Bowyer, KK, Smoke, JG, Biff, MM, Kes, Ragan, Hamlin, JPM, Blech, Vickers, Kenseth, Newman, Smith, JJ Harvick, Burton.

Doesn't look good for Lavabe and colchar.

Lavabe · Post by **Lavabe** » September 25th, 2011, 4:48 pm

30 laps to go:
JG having fuel issues, KK will need to stop

Bowyer, Smoke, KK, Biff, JG, MM, Kes, Ragan, Hamlin, Vickers, Kenseth, JPM, Blech, Edwards, JJ, Newman, Smith, Harvick, Burton, Logano.

Lavabe · Post by **Lavabe** » September 25th, 2011, 4:53 pm

20 laps to go:
Bowyer, Smoke, KK, Biff, Kes, JG, Ragan, Hamlin, Vickers, Kenseth, JPM, Edwards, JNewman, Smith, Blech, Harvick, Burton, Jr, Logano, JJ

MM had to come in to the pits. Blech nearly crashed JJ as JJ was passing him. JJ is slipping back BIG due to the contact.

Kurt Busch has apologized for some salty language in the pre-race coverage.

Lavabe · Post by **Lavabe** » September 25th, 2011, 4:58 pm
