Go on Ymo, I double-dog dare you to score 99 points or less in one week. I managed to pull that one off last week.

...you can name more NASCAR drivers than US presidents. :D Although not president, separated at birth: Reed Sorenson and Paul Ryan: http://cdn-7.motorsport.com/static/img/mgl/1600000/1660000/1661000/1661800/1661827/s9/nascar-cup-daytona-500-2014-reed-sorenson-fas-lane-racing-ford.jpg http://cloudfr...

I think I just turned in the most moronic driver selection of all time. Three of my picks finished 30th or worse.

Need two more weeks like that to have a remote chance of catching you.

Franklin Pierce was definitely the Reed Sorenson of the American Presidents.

Truex wins AGAIN!!
Truex (led most laps), Blech, Elliot, Kes, Kenseth, Logano, JJ, ADillon, Hamlin, JG
Edwards 14
Biffle 18
Larson 25
Harvick 37
Blaney 38
JMac 40

Only 55 laps to go. Only 6 cars are on the lead lap! Truex is killing this race!

Lap 193/400: CAUTION: JMac's engine blows up.
He's out!
Oh well... I chose him, so that sucks. He'll finish 40th.
Ymo and Lawgrad chose Larson: he's 4 laps down in 30th.
Ymo chose Harvick: he's effectively in 38th (once he passes JMac), 44 laps down.
Looks like Iowa has this race in the bag!

Lap 170/400: JMac is now down a cylinder!
He'll have to go to the garage, as he is 11mph slower than everyone.
Meanwhile Harvick is back on the track, down 44 laps. Meanwhile, Blaney is in last place, down 68 laps.
Larson is in 30th, down 3 laps.

What did Chip Gnassi Racing do to its cars?

Lap 105 of 400: YELLOW: Blaney blows a front tire.
Blaney drops two laps.
CRAZY!!

And at lap 65, JamieMac is reporting a vibration. Wonder who will not make it to the next round of the Chase!

Uh oh... racing at the Monster Mile, and early on a MAJOR shakeup: 1) Harvick early gets a blown trackbar mount and blown tire. He is in the garage, but may eventually come back. 55 laps in, already 24 laps down. 2) Larson has found himself down 3 laps, due to a mechanical issue and a pit road penal...

Still >200 points away from Yamo Be There.

Dale Jr. out for the rest of the season. Sad!

Yes, but still eleventy billion points behind Yamo.

I was gone in the forest for 2.5 weeks. What did I miss?

Jeff Gordon is available in the C List.
Oh WOW!!

Note to all fantasy players...
Don't be picking Dale Jr. this weekend. He may be out for a while with a concussion. Alex Bowman takes over this week, and Jeff Gordon may take over for Indy.
This is NOT the news I wanted to read coming back from the woods!

Just got in yesterday from the forest, and just now saw this thread. Sorry about your loss, Chris. I hope that hospice helped. So glad to see the Duke tribute for him. Hope you're holding up well!
Best wishes,
