Although I won this week, the big news is that Ymo has now bolted into the lead. Only 80 points separates the top four. Congrats to Ymo... for now. ;)

Is now when the trash talking starts?

Carl Edwards won the Sonoma road race yesterday. The last lap saw a thrilling charge from Jeff Gordon, but Edwards held on for the win.

Miles won fantasy league yesterday, but by a mere 30 points or so. He now holds the overall lead by 30 pts over Ymo. I;m about 70 points further back, followed by colchar, IowaDevil, and lawgrad.

150 points or so separate out first through fifth places in the fantasy league. A very bunched up league this year!
