AND a speeding penalty in pit row.

Laps 28-26 Green flag pitting, but Edwards is staying out, and will come in close to 20 laps to go.

10 laps to go
Strategy in the pits: Smoke takes fuel only, but everyone else takes two.

From what I have seen today, I think the race this week is between you and me!
Are you sure you didn't copy my picks? lol I swear we picked almost the same people right down the line! lol
BUT, I got Kahn for the win! You'll still lead, I am sure, but I am getting closer to ya.

ON TO HOMESTEAD!

I also had Kahne... and Edwards (vs. your selection of Smoke)... and Dinger. Too bad that A-hole David Ragan knocked off Regan Smith.
My initial tally is as follows:
I believe you won by 4 pts over Tilly today. I was 22 pts further back. Ymo was 11 behind me, and colchar 45 pts further back.

What this means for the final race is: I lead you by 270 pts or so. And I will guarantee you that my A list for Homestead will be Edwards and Smoke.

Not that it matters, but I wonder what NASCAR will do with Vickers for knocking out Kenseth.

And in the real race for the chase, Stewart and Edwards didn't change positions or point values today. Edwards still leads Smoke by 3 pts. It's down to these two drivers.

I beat Knights by a point today.

Ah yes, you did! My initial tally had knights in the lead, but I forgot to include the QUALIFYING points that you earned. Well done!!


ONE MORE RACE IN THE SEASON!!!

I sense a pw bonanza at Homestead.

For the last time this year - get 'em in folks!

Edwards wins the pole!!
He's followed by Truex, Kahne, Kurt, Kes, Kenseth, JG, Biff, JJ, Hamlin, Jr, Dinger, Ragan, Newman, Smoke, Smith, Bowyer, etc...

Last Race of the Season!!! Homestead, Florida!!
It's all about Edwards vs. Smoke, in terms of who wins the NASCAR championship.

In Fantasy League, I lead knights by 265 pts.We only differ on two drivers. I went with Dinger and Smith, and knights went with Truex and Gilliland. I lead Ymo by a few more points. We differ on three drivers. Whereas I went with Kahne, Dinger, and Smith, Ymo went with Kes, Ambrose, and Labonte.

EVERYONE went with Edwards.

So the ones we'll focus on today are:
Edwards, KK, Truex, Dinger, Ambrose, Smith, Gilliland, Labonte, Bayne, and Menard.

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