Fantasy: fantasy stock car racing

Well after missing my picks last week it looks like i have no chance now....

i got lucky last week, i missed the deadline for picking new drivers but had enough from the week before to field a full team, they did real well for me, better than the drivers i was gonna switch to

So the curse of the toejam has gone just like the Red Sox?

i would like to think that the curse is off my back, but i am going to waiit another couple of weeks just to be sure

I still have a shot at the title.

*makes note*

"must beat ProudAmerican"

My team is not looking in too bad a shape this week.

What time is the race today?

the race is supposed to start around 1pm east coast time today but it looks cloudy and rainy there, hope they get it in

About 6 for me then.

Same time as the NFL...

yep, makes it a hard choice with only 1 tv, i will have to make a decision when the time comes

Hehe yeah i guess it will...

I'll just have the NFL site giving ya min by min updates of the plays and CBS for the nascar..

i have been watching the races and using the fantasy football game site for the updates there, makes for a busy sunday, too much going on at once

Yeah sure is and it would be worse if the baseball and basketball was on aswell...

the engines have started and the cars are on the track so it looks like we will have a race today, 43 cars on a half mile track, narrow groove, and a championship up for grabs, should be a lot of bumpin and bangin today :angry-smiley-034:

had a green flag, first lap was ok, second lap riggs spun, kahne hit someone, nemechek spun, yellow flag

Jeeze stack at right at the start, could be a long race....

could well be, i think ther will be a lot of this today, lots on the line in this race

back to green, wallace passes newman for the lead

Hrmm i read Rusty has a few wins and likes the track, could he win?

it wasn't riggs that spun, was nemechek....my bad
