There is some incredibly tough racing.
4 laps to go, Newman spins down Menard, but both are back on the track quickly.
3 laps to go, Menard taps Newman back.
KK moves ahead of them.
RGordon is now ahead of both as well.
Smoke is back in the garage.

Meanwhile, this is all Kurt Busch.

The top 3 are WAYYYYYYYY out in front.
Smoke, in interview, not pissed, but it's pretty clear that Vickers isn't a wise one to be picked the next time.

JG passes Edwards for 2nd with 1 lap to go.

According to Kurt Busch in Victory Lane, get a Shell Saver card, because it'll be 22 cents a gallon less if you buy gas there with the card on Wednesday.
Hmm... :-?
MUST verify this!!

Hail to the King!! ^:)^ Knights has assumed a lead of 43 points over me.

I managed to sneak into second place, a mere 7 points over Ymo.

The BIG news is that Usul is catching up to the top three. Usul is just 50 points behind Ymo, and 265 points ahead of the DUCHESS.

The Duchess, Tilly, is in a tough battle with colchar, holding a seven point lead over our Canadian poster.

mph, RobertDuke, and Miles each totalled less than 10 points this week.

And how many people would like to give Brian Vickers a piece of their mind? :ymtongue:

I knew it was a mistake to put JJ in my starting lineup over Gordon. Leaving Boyer on the bench was a mistake too.

It's a kind of a Shell debit card.
Don't need it.

Oh, this is going to be an interesting Daytona race, fantasy league-wise.

Ymo cleaned up, choosing the pole-sitter, MM, and 3rd position winner, Bowyer.
I chose the other front row starter, TREVOR BAYNE, and Bowyer.
The fourth place starter is JEFF GORDON.
And GREAT news for Ymo & Usul, DAVID RAGAN starts 5th.

So the battle for second place is even closer right now.
The BIG news is that Knights did NOT select anything new this week. Most weeks, that's not TOO bad. It's not good, but you can get away with it. This week, however, poses a problem. It's restrictor plate racing this week, not the ROAD RACING we had last week. As a result, Knights is pretty much limited to choosing Menard (starting 10th) in the C list, as Boris Said (his other pick), is not entered this week.

Remember to make your picks, folks! :naughty:

Midway in tonight's Nationwide Daytona race, SMOKE is pushing PATRICK. Patrick has led the last 8 laps.

The great thing about watching the Daytona Nationwide race is that the 2-car drafts reveal some strange partnerships:
Edwards-JamieMac; Blech-Kes; Patrick-Smoke (although Patrick is now being pushed by teammate Almirola)
Can't wait to see the partnerships tomorrow in the Sprint Cup race!

By the way, with 40 laps to go, Patrick has led 12 laps. Edwards has now taken over the lead.
