Today makes me realize why Nascar is my favorite sport. It's not like other sports where you can leave near the end. Heck with two togo I thought mark was done but he came in 5th or so it looked like!p.s I finished last in the fantasy picks i didn't even add them up! STACY COMPTON SUCKS

martin, don't be so sure where you finished.
jgordon, if you want to make sure I added right, go ahead. I used the NOL one, and we know how reliable they are. :rolleyes:
I'm bummed about the race, Tony should have won. (Yes, I'm pouting. ;) )
But, Terry finished well, though he wasn't mentioned!!! He and Harvick must have went together cause that last lap they were in the 20's.
And Atwood was robbed with that blackflag!

martin,
jgordon is right. I used their finishing for scoring but they aren't always reliable. I could go in there tomorrow and find some people changed, it's happened before.
Hey jgordon, no biggie. Do you want California. If so, speak up now and it's yours!

I thought it was a pretty good race, but in the end I fully understand why this is not one of my favorite tracks.
First off the cars that were the best all day got shuffled back and ended with average or below finishes, because everyone wanted to stay in line and not gamble.
Other than Bush who finished in the top 5, who ran up front all-day, of those drivers?
This race is all about luck, that's what determines how you finish, not the best car on the track and that's
TOO BAD.
I felt bad for Sterling and Kenseth, two of the best cars out there all day, and both had 19th or worst finishes because of..."let's stay in line and follow each other. "
On the other hand, you had drivers who were never in contention and ran AVERAGE at best, finish in the top 10.
This is definetly not racing.

Trackrat did the math also...it's correct.
Congrats Kat a Piller!!
Trackrat says he will try to tie JGordon for wins next week.
Great win for Andy Petrie....could've been Kenny. Oh well
I'm posting this for Trackrat because he is still hiding in the Nascar trailer....(he's ashamed of his BIG loss...SHHHH!)

Ford Lady,
Trackrat better skeedaddle before Helton gets there. You know how he's like. :eek:
K17fan, I do agree with what you said, it was pretty much follow the leader for the whole race.
Tony was running top 10 for much of the day, except when he came in for stops and started way back, so him finishing 2nd was no surprise, though I would have preferred first. HAHA. But that is Dega, you can get shuffled back in the matter of a heartbeat.
I'm just thankful we didn't see 'the big one.'
Oh yeah, who liked that new UPS commercial with the guy playing with the tiny truck! :)

Matt had a great car as well and ran with the leaders most of the day. You just hate it when you have a great car and it won't show up in the final results.
I can't wait for California, I don't know what it is with that track but Matt seems to be a master there. They really seem to know how to run there.
I'm ready for Sunday.
