Fantasy: fantasy stock car racing

Still holding a tight lead, its still very close.

17 races left to go.

Thats looking better...Closed right up now.

Oddly enough, I dont think there were any position changes.

Hrmm yeah it looks that way to me.

Most of the day had Newman and Busch battling for first.



The Junior - Truex switch took only 30 seconds.



Rusty got tangled with Dale Jarrett near the end of the race.



In the end, it was Busch getting the checkered flag.

a shocking lineup for this weeks race in pocono, hope everyone picked good, or lucky this week

TRD is looking in good shape again this week. I think some of the ones up the front for qualifying wont stay there though...

I was surprised to see two "C" drivers in the top two spots this week, should make things intereting.

I think it will be quite an interesting race, as in the qualifying none of the top drivers finished at the back.

NASCAR waited less than two hours to cancel all scheduled Nextel Cup Series activity Saturday at Pocono Raceway, troubling some competitors who sought to improve their cars during a pair of practice sessions.

Judging by driver response, it appears as if the ARCA race was a major determining factor for NASCAR's decision.

Saturday's quick decision is a stark contrast to the norm, when the sanctioning body waits as long as possible to call activity off.

"They could probably get something in in some way, shape or form," said pole-sitter Casey Mears. "But then NASCAR's really drug things out in the past, too, where everybody's like, 'Man, you're dragging this out too much.' They have a tough job. They made a call and will stick by it. That's the way it is."

Saturday's cancelled activity means Nextel Cup teams will start Sunday's Pennsylvania 500 having completed just one hour of practice. Friday's first session was cut an hour short by fog.

The skies have been ugly all weeknd at Pocono, I hope it clears in time for the race tomorrow.

Just 30 minutes til GREEN!

Anybody around here for the race today?

i'm here, don't know how much i will be able to watch, but will see the start anyway, team toejam has a ways to go this week, hopefully the strangers in the front of the pack will fade real quick

Hey tj!

Yeah it's a pretty odd starting lineup, like I said it should make for an interesting race though.

Looks like the rain is going to hold off, the skies are gray though.

I wonder where the crazy Brit is today?

Hey someone mention crazy....

Team TRD racing is raring to go!

i hope so, i have been to that track and when the rain and mist sets in IT SETS IN...the track is so big that it takes forever to dry it...not my favorite track to watch a race by far...

Well speak of the devil! Wassup buddy!


Yeah, the storms and fog seem to get stuck in between the mountains sometimes up at Pocono. I've been there a few times myself.

5 minutes to green!

Strange

The green is scheduled for 1:33 EST but the yahoo fantasy deadline is saying 1:55.

Guess if your driver crashes early, maybe you can switch him.
