We just flew over Pocono. Well, maybe an hour ago. It was nice of them to give it an unusual shape so as to be instantly recognizable.

This is NOT the story I heard on Nationwide Racing today.

When Daytona got red-flagged, Kes tweeted, and gained 100,000 followers. NASCAR suddenly became fans of Twitter.

The race gets red-flagged the other day, he tweets, he gets fined.
On ESPN.COM, he was fined $25,000 for tweeting during a red flag.
Your story implies he was moving. This is inaccurate.
If he was moving, what a twit. But he wasn't tweeting while moving. He got fined while everyone was parked.

Lap 118: Truex takes the lead

Lap 145 CAUTION: Debris
Major shakeup with the lead. It was Blech and Truex, but now, JJ takes the lead out of the pits.

Lap 149 restart
Lap 154 CAUTION: Stenhouse Jr tire went down, skimmed the wall.
The reason for the hakeup was that some folks took only two tires. Others, like Blech and Truex, took 4.

By the way, if the race ended right now, I'd still trail colchar by like 35 points or so. My only hope is for my selections to continue racing, and for Aric Almirola to crash out.

Kes is in 11th. He would still win the championship, but it's getting close.

67 laps to go: Truex and Blech pit. Looks like most will pit under green, except JJ, who is trying to make it on only one pit stop. All of those who are pitting now will need to pit again.
JJ is in the lead now.

Lavabe · Post by **Lavabe** » November 18th, 2012, 5:36 pm

62 laps to go... KES RUNS OUT OF GAS, just before committing to the pits, but has enough to make it to the pits without a delay.
GO FIGURE!! WOW!!

Lavabe · Post by **Lavabe** » November 18th, 2012, 5:41 pm

54 laps to go, JJ comes in for his last pit stop.
All went well...
except they missed a lugnut.
He'll have to come back in.

That may have cost him the championship.

40 laps to go:
Blech, Truex, Edwards, Kenseth, Bowyer, JG, Almi, Kes, Hornish, KuBu,
Newman 11
Biffle 14
Jr 15
Menard 16
Labonte 23
JJ 25

JJ has smoke coming out the rear. He's pitting again. Into the garage. Kes wins the championship.

15 laps to go: Truex skims the wall, but only loses a few seconds to Blech. What a save!

When will Blech and Truex pit?

All hail colchar, winner of this year's Nascar Fantasy league!!

I believe I won this week, but I gained only 19 points on colchar. I believe I finished 59 points behind.
