And I KNOW that colchar&Ymo won't have picks starting #1. ;)

Boogety boogety boogety! Let's go racin', boys! :ymapplause: :ymapplause:
Curse TS...I haven't liked him nearly as much since Pontiac no longer sponsored cars. And now that they are essentially defunct, that won't happen again anytime soon.

Stewart wrecks car in Pocono practice, but unhurt

"Stewart wrecks car in Pocono practice, but unhurt"

Not sure whether this is good or bad. He won from the back there earlier this year.

But remember, starting 42nd is really like starting only 35th, given the start and park folks. Then he'll pass 10 C&B listers in the next 20 laps. He'll be up there by the 2nd pit stop.

I would normally probably switch him out, but my alternates are Reutimann and Jamie Mac (before I left, I thought JM was going to wake up, and he's actually better on the flat tracks). I'll save my Smoke pick for another day.

Does anyone else feel that Blech is an accident waiting to happen? That may be the one thing that stops TS... that and maybe Ymo praying for JFL to take out Smoke. ;)

Grant is rooting for one of my B list picks this week (well, at least he's drinking from a glass with the NUMBER of one of my B list picks, although probably NOT its current driver). Way to go, Grant!! \m/

I thought the #8 was parked due to money issues at DEI.

Woops... you're right. :oops: It's hard to keep track of what's going on with DEI.

What happened to lil E? I was watching one minute and he was in the top 10. I got distracted making dinner and stuff, and I came back like two minutes later and he was in like 27? I felt bad for him. I thought he was finally gonna start building some momentum.

You are back in the lead. Glad I didn't waste my TS pick, but Reutimann sucked BIG. #-o

I'm with Smoke this week at the Glen. And I AM using my Ambrose pick. This should get me caught up with Ymo. ;) :D

I am just VERY disappointed that Boris Said isn't racing this week. L-)

Boris never really caught on, I thought he could have been more than say a Casey Mears.

Just a reminder, Ymo ... last time JJ had the pole at the Glen, he finished 40th.
How many laps before JFL crashes?
Hamlin or Smoke?

STILL peeved at Hamlin for knocking out Reutimann last race. X( X( X(
