NASCAR 2015

Congrats IADevil! Big win!

Thanks!

Yes, BIG win!! CONGRATS!!

And next up... the giant roulette wheel, better known as TALLADEGA!!

[Lavabe]

Joey F'ing Logano wins Talladega when the race was called in a green-white-checker... after one turn, the rear 28 cars of the race got into a BIG ONE accident, started when Harvick (racing at 30 mph) slowed up the start, and everybody hit each other. JFL beat Dale Jr. by inches when the yellow came out.

I think there is no way that JFL survives the next round of the Chase... everyone is ready to get even with him. By the way, as JFL did his victory celebration in his car, people were throwing all sorts of objects at his car and onto the track. People don't like it when you beat Dale, and knock him out of the Chase.

A'hole JFL!!

Order of finish:
JFL, Jr, JG, Kes, Edwards, Menard, Truex, Bowyer, Stenhouse, KuBu
Blech, Newman, Waltrip, Dillon, Harvick, AA, Hornish, JJ, KK, Biff
Bayne, Whitt, Labonte, Larson, Smoke, Kenseth, Patrick, McDowell, Wise, Ragan
Mears, Gilliland, Bowman, Cassill, Kvapil, Dinger, Hamlin, Yeley, JMac, DiBenedetto
Hill, Allgaier, Blaney

The following led at least one lap: JFL, Jr (led most laps), JG, Menard, Stenhouse, Gilliland, Biff, KuBu, Blech, Newman, Waltrip, Harvick, JJ, KK, Kenseth, Ragan

So, those going into the next round of the Chase are: JFL, Kes, Harvick, KuBu, Edwards, Blech, Truex, JG. Some of the drivers are pissed at Harvick, so there may be some discussion as to whether or not Harvick should be removed from the Chase for deliberately leading everyone into the crash.

As for Fantasy League, I managed somehow to win the giant roulette wheel this week by like 16 pts, probably thanks to Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. I now trail bjornolf by 156 pts, with four races to go. It might as well be eleventy million points.

I watched about 5 minutes of the race.

Thanks for the updates.

The race Sunday is here in Martinsville, which is a demolition derby when everyone is on their Sunday best behavior.

I've already seen a few RVs rolling in. Expecting some fireworks on and off the track.

Congrats to Lavabe! I was just thinking "my lead isn't worth the toilet paper my pix are written on". Funny you feel the exact opposite. Guess it's a grass greener kinda thing. Good luck to all.

They're racing at the giant Paper Clip, Martinsville.
I wonder how many laps they'll get in. Rainy weather.

ADIOS, JOEY FREAKIN' LOGANO!!
Wow... just wow!
I hate to say it, but this is precisely why I ultimately didn't choose Logano this week. This has been boiling ever since Kansas.
Expect Kenseth to be fined and worse. He intentionally creamed Logano's car.
Joey's Dad had to be held back.
WOW!
NASCAR is calling in Kenseth, crew chief, and Joe Gibbs.
