Fantasy: fantasy stock car racing

had to leave for a few, 60 laps in....just had a yellow for fluid on the track, robbie gordon was lucky, he was in the middle with cars all around him and got his windshield coated, couldn't see at 200mph in rush hour traffic, it may be sadler leaking oil and water

a beautiful race so far...40 cars within 3 seconds of each other, 200 mph...no serious problems YET

about 120 laps in now, gordon and dale jr are at the front, the pack is still real tight with lots of 3 an 4 wide racing...all safe so far

carl edwards lew an engine, under yellow everyone pitted, dale jr had a great pit stop and will restart in 2nd, mcmurray spun on pit road, jimmie johnson hit kasey kahne and has been in and out a couople of times to repair fender damage...should not lose a lap

crash, mayfield, spencer, jeff green, all the drivers are ok

championship contender jimmy johnson is out of the race with an overheating engine

as some of the leaders were pitting for fuel with about 10 laps to go marlin and bobby labonte got together at the pit entrance, some of the cars pitted, some haven't, some may try to make it on fuel....

DALE JR WINS...there was a wreck on the last lap on the back straight but the race stayed green, while the leaders were racing to the checker there was another wreck near the finish line with sadler getting on his roof....all the drivers are ok but what a finish

here are the unofficial results from talladega....not a good week for team toeam

Havn't decided on my final team yet, but it doesn't look too bad this week....

What time is the race today?

looks like it starts about 2pm eastern time

ermm its 5.20 GMT here so whats that for me 7pm?

it is about 12:30 eastern time now so the race should start in about an hour and a half

just switched to the race, mayfield, kahne, nemechek, biffle. early on, sterling marlin broke a gear and is in the garage

Nice i hope a few have Marlin ....

me too, the last couple of weeks have been disasters for me, need to make up a lot of places or will eat crow till daytona next year....
