Hmm... I had Smoke being ahead for 76 laps (the most number of laps) in today's race, At least, that's what it said in Yahoo's Fantasy league, and I swear I heard it in today's coverage, and verified it with:
http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles ... nts%20Lead
But the AP is reporting that GORDON led for 76 laps... which doesn't jibe with Yahoo.

Who's right?

I only saw a little bit of the race today before I had to head out but during that time I never once saw Gordon in the lead.

Guilty as charged. This week will likely come down to the B and C list drivers. Or maybe someone's decision of which A lister to start.

Both Ymo and I have JJ on our A list, and we both have JamieMac in the B list. JamieMac won the pole. :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue:

Hopefully I'll kick as much ass tomorrow as my Leafs did tonight.

So long as you score 80 fewer points than the rest of us, kick away! ;) :D

Nope, I'm hoping for a win this week to stem the tide. A few weeks ago my season lead was at just over 400 points but that has diminished considerably and I'd feel more comfortable if I could add some points to that to give me more of a cushion going into the last six races of the year.

How can we follow a race without the usual running commentary from Lavabe? Hell, I usually check here to find out what is going on before I bother checking anywhere else.

The Roush-keteers having problems:
1) Biffle blown engine OUT early.
2) Edwards engine issues lost 14 laps.

Kenseth doing well.

So far it's all Hendrick and Michael Waltrip Racing... well, except for Junior.

Smoke doing fine.

Blech having difficulties.

Glad I chose Bowyer over Burton.

Had to go to Louisville today for my daughter's lacrosse clinic.
Missed 89 laps or so.
2 choices are running in the top 5: Bowyer (1st) and JJ (5th).
2 choices on the lead lap in the 20's: Hornish and Jamie Mac (who led 14 laps).

Dinger is in 10th... what has he been on the last few races?
Menard 13th, Speed 17th... well ahead of Junior.

53 laps to go, and SMOKE is in the lead now.

Some WEIRD racing going on.

It's Hendrick and Stewart-Haas in the top 5.

LOTS of slingshotting. The last caution 4 laps ago saw the bottom half of the field come into the pits.

JJ now 9th.

LOTS of action going on right now!!

And on the race in the pits following this, Gordon gets caught speeding.
JPM takes 2 instead of 4 tires, and jumps 18 spots into the lead. Mears also takes two and moves into 7th. Both should fall out of the top 15.

And here I thought I was just PW-ing. :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue:

Truex and Logano bump each other in the pits and in the pace before the green flag.
