Colchar finishes with 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 15th.
I believe that puts him in the 98th percentile.
Congrats. Let us know when you're in the 99th percentile! :-BD ^:)^

Order of finish:
JPM, Kurt Busch, Marcos Ambrose, Dinger, Edwards.

Colchar wins today's race in CTN Fantasy League.
An impressive debut for mph!
Ymo has moved into 3rd place for the season.
Two people have now used up their allotment of Dinger picks.

I've been out for a couple of hours and just saw the results now. I'll take the win as I will soon be running out of picks for some drivers (especially C-list drivers) which will make the fall session rather difficult for me.

Thanks. And yes, this win moved me up from the 97th to the 98th percentile.

Damned straight! I only squeaked out a win over MPH by three points. Definitely an impressive debut.

Nah, there is plenty of time left yet. I am only leading the summer session by 65 points so that can change in a heartbeat. For the overall season my lead is larger (291 points) but that isn't guaranteed to stand up as I will spend the fall session scrambling to find drivers that will earn me at least some points as I will have run out of picks for a lot of the drivers I've been using. I've spread things around a lot more than I did last year so I'm not finished with any drivers yet but I will soon have to start being really careful with who I use and when I use them (I currently have six drivers for whom I only have three picks left each). When that time hits I fully expect my lead to disappear fairly quickly.

Hmmm, good question. That phrase is due to the Wangerian operas if my understanding is correct.

Are you blatantly trying to get throaty to post in the NASCAR thread?

Imagine my surprise when I read the CNNSI headline:

CHILDRESS SAYS THAT HARVIN SUFFERING FROM MIGRAINES

Of course, I thought they spelled Harvick incorrectly. :D ;)

Kasey Kahne will race for Red Bull in 2011, before he joins Hendrick in 2012.

So what happens with Scott Speed and Brian Vickers?

Should I go with Hendrick this week, or should I choose the newfound strength of Roush? :?:

I anyone else having trouble making their picks this week? For some reason I cannot add or remove drivers as the button next to their name is missing. All I can do is to check the box next to their name but, afterwards, I cannot submit the list. I tried logging out and then back in again but that didn't help at all.

No problems for me and I just double-checked. What browser are you using? Their page is pretty simple javascript so it should work without too much complication. Try Firefox or another browser.
