NASCAR 2010

[Lavabe]

On the restart, JJ was stuck behind Biff, who lost 2nd gear, and got passed by loads of drivers.
Order of finish:
Hamlin, Kenseth, Martin, Logano, Biffle, Harvick, Bowyer, Ragan, JJ, Menard, Smoke.

Hamlin takes over the points lead!!

[Lavabe]

Hamlin leads JJ by 33 points.
Hamlin and Kenseth dueled fiercely in the last two laps. Thought they'd crash.
By the way, next week is the Kevin Harvick Invitational, in Arizona.

[Lavabe]

I believe Knights has taken over 2nd place.
Colchar had 4 drivers in the top ten, and Knights, Ymo, and myself all had 3.

Colchar had 4 drivers in the top ten, and Knights, Ymo, and myself all had 3.

I'll take that result! If the rest of you only had three, I might have won this week.

[Lavabe]

Harvick is 59 pts behind Hamlin.

[YmoBeThere]

I have yet to start Hamlin this year, that is a major part of my lackluster performance.

The Road Warriors took another one this week and also moved into second place for the season, congrats! Lavabe is only thirty points behind in third place though so that race could get interesting over the next two weeks.

I came in second by four points this week and moved up to fourth place for the fall session. Overall, I still have a 350+ point lead with two races left in the season and am back up to the 98th percentile.

Whoa bbaaayyybbeeee, I did not see that one coming! Good job to Sycamore Spinouts too. We seem to be taking out Lavabe and Colchar (for now anyway).
Gosh, I have all my JJ and Busch's and Kenseths and Harvicks used, and do not trust Gordon and Smoke is just too inconsistent right now.
Two more races to go, will we be able to catch Colchar?? Stay tuned next week bat fans. Same Bat time, Same Bat place!

See, I switched away from Harvick and took Burton because I have one more Harvick pick left. I figured that Harvick should be my choice for Arizona, as he does well there. So my streak of picking a DNF is now at three weeks in a row.

My A list choices are in fine shape for the last two weeks.
I'm saving my lone Kenseth for Homestead. I also have one left with Burton and Dinger. Menard is done (no big whoop, as I still have Hornish and Dinger left with two weeks to go).

I'm saving my lone Dinger pick for Homestead as well, but the real question is...
... will RPM (with Dinger) be able to run at Homestead?
It's really sad to see that the RPM problem is now a real issue, even in fantasy league.

Just be careful, Knights. Now YOU become the hunted in the race for second place!!

Colchar has won this, sealed up, lock, stock, and barrel. For him to lose would require a massive catastrophic brain fart on his part. Or maybe, EarlJam has to kidnap him, and force him to enter JPM, Sadler, Smith/Ragan, and Yeley/Carpentier the next two weeks.

It would take a couple of royal fuck ups on my part to lose a 360 point lead. Heck, I'm still hoping for my 10th win of the season (not being greedy, it is just a nice round number that matches the number I wore playing hockey when I was younger) and to be pushing for first place in the fall session during the last week!

Yeah, barring a major screw up on my part I think my lead is safe.

And I did pick Carpentier a couple of weeks back. Went with my gut and picked the Canadian - I don't think he did too badly either!

Blech just had to write a $25000 check to NASCAR for the obscene hand motion he made on national tv, directed at a NASCAR official in the pits.

[YmoBeThere]

I try to avoid hand gestures as much as possible. They can so often be misinterpreted.

These ones are pretty clear:

115 laps into the 312 lap race:
Hamlin in the lead, leading most laps, with Edwards (now in 2nd) leading the second most.
JJ in 6th, Harvick 9th.
Jamie Mac lost his spoiler, but got back on the lead lap with a Lucky Dog.
Bowyer has done nothing today. Burton back in the pack.
Dinger still racing well in 10th, just got into a tap fest with Harvick.
Blue Deuce is in 3rd.
Kes out of the race after blowing a tire.

[Lavabe]

Mileage issues with 7 laps to go.
Hamlin in 16th, but refueled.
JJ running low on gas.
JJ been told to turn off all fans and things.
DANG!!!

[Lavabe]

BOWYER OUT OF FUEL!!
Edwards running low on fuel in the lead with 2 laps to go.
JPM in 2nd.

[Lavabe]

Order of finish:
Edwards, Newman, Logano, Biff, JJ, Harvick, Kenseth, MM, Kurt Busch, JamieMac, JG. Hamlin 12th, after leading most of the race.

JJ lasted the final 85 laps sans pit stop.

[Lavabe]

Going into the final race, Hamlin leads JJ by 15 points, Harvick by 46.
