I only came in to see what Ozzie actually had to contribute to a NASCAR thread. =)) =))

(But I'll still peak in quietly during the season. ;) )

Hey Lavabe, I'm interested in playing this year. Could you post a link to the rules, etc.? Thanks, AW.
Just a reminder that August West will be participating in fantasy league.

David Ragan signs up with Front Row Motorsports, taking the spot that was driven last year by Travis Kvapil.

ANOTHER C lister confirmed. #:-s

The Top 10 Pet Peeves of NASCAR Drivers....

10) Winning a race, then getting passed on the way home by some dork in a Hyundai
9) You're eight laps down and the only advice your pit crew comes up with is "go faster"
8) Kids in the back keep asking "Are we at Lap 236 yet?"
7) Right in the middle of the race, your Michael Bublay CD screws up
6) You're doing 200 mph and there's a damn Busch in front of you!
5) After a fill-up, your pit crew doesn't give you a free NFL drinking glass
4) Guys who think they have a lot in common with you just because they once did over 80 on the interstate
3) Winning the cup, but did they ever send you a ton of free Sprint stuff? Hell no!
2) Tell crew chief you need to use the restroom and he says, "Well, you should have thought of that before you left the house mister!"
1) Guys who drive only 160 in the left-hand lane

In a move designed to torment Tilly, according to ESPN, Kyle Busch just signed his brother Kurt to drive in his Nationwide Series team. That's right... Kurt Busch will drive for Kyle Busch Motorsports.

I talked to a guy who drove ARCA for about 10 years last week. They generally used a year or two old Winston Cup cars. Small one car operation that ran in the 90's to early 2000's. The series got too big time for him to keep up. When he would arrive at a track, they would ask him where his backup car was at. He'd point at his car and say, "There it is." If you started talking about tracks, he had driven them all.

SPRINT update: Danica is racing in the CocaCola 600 (or whatever they are calling it this year), NOT the INDY 500 this year.
Trevor Bayne has recovered from the Lyme disease that he had last year.

Looks like there will be a few more C listers racing in Daytona, but it's hard to see whether many of them will race throughout the year.

I believe the yahoo fantasy league can now be set up. Unfortunately, I can't seem to log into yahoo right now (I forgot the login info).

I believe that devildeac's SIL#2 wants to join the league.

I managed to log in.

OH MY!!

A list: Smoke, Kes, JG, JJ, Edwards, Hamlin, Blech, Harvick, Kenseth
B list: JPM, Burton, Ambrose, MM, Logano, JamieMac, REGAN SMITH, Truex
Menard, KuBusch, Newman, Bowyer, KK, Biff, Dinger, Jr
C list: Everyone else (it's FREAKIN' long), but it has the following:
DAVID RAGAN, Bayne, Cassill, MWaltrip, VICKERS, Reutimann, B Labonte, Danica, Almirola,etc...

Note: on the C list, Danica already has been selected by 27% of the people already (3rd, behind Bayne and Ragan).

A list has shrunk. Some B's have dropped, but the only C listers from 2011 to have been promoted are MENARD & SMITH.

CAN'T WAIT FOR DAYTONA!! :happy-bouncyblue:

Danica IS racing in the Daytona 500, in a somewhat complicated deal between SHR and Tommy Baldwin Racing.

FWIW, when Danica isn't running in the Cup, looks like Reutimann may be one of the Big C List choices available.

Ymo has been our founder and our commish over the last few years.
MANY THANKS TO YMO!
:ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

I hope it's okay, Ymo, but I had time this morning, and have just opened up our group. Here is the needed info:
Group ID#: 10608
Group Name: CTN NASCAR 2012
Group Password: durham

Please go ahead and login.

I wonder if CTN 2012 will be one of the highest scoring leagues.

All are welcome to join!!
If you've not done this before, you must access sports.yahoo.com and register with yahoo there (look at the upper left corner). From the sports.yahoo.com page, click the FANTASY button in the upper right, and look for AUTO RACING. You'll then enter the NASCAR site. At that point, go ahead, create your Team Name (and any other details), then JOIN A GROUP. Give the group # and goup password from above. That should do it. If you have any troubles, let me know.

BOOGITY, BOOGITY, BOOGITY! LET THE PICKING BEGIN!!

It is more than okay! I've been traveling the last few days and haven't been paying much attention.

Or getting a speeding ticket while driving to the airport after winning the race. This actually happened to Emerson Fittipaldi after he won the Molson Indy in Toronto in the late '80s.
