Fantasy: fantasy stock car racing

hopefully i can move out of last place

you dug yourself quite a hole when you didn't have all your drivers racing but you are catching up fast now

yes i did i was angry with myslef. I was hitting my head on the desk.

But now im in a grvoe.

There is a long way to go yet and i'm sure the standngs will change quite a few times yet.

But yeah Ben you have been catching up after that terrible start!

I didn't do too bad but i need to improve some more.

it wasnt to bad was it?

i've been fairly consistant so far but i need a couple mind blowing weeks in a row to distance myself from you guys. those of you who don't know much about racing are doing good.

i have no where to go but up and i think that this week is when i will start to make my move, but then again that's what i thought last week....

what jumps out at me is the number 5 qualifier. Derrick Cope. where did he come from usually he's out of the race within 5 laps. now i know he won the daytona 500 several years ago and used to be good but that long streak of suckiness may have broke for this week. well ok he still has to run the race but nice job derrick it's good to know that old racers can still hold up once in a while.

the bad news with cope is that if he tries to get out of the race after his usual 5 laps he will take the field out with him

i have this feeling that tommorrow is the day that i get out of last place

and Team Aegisfang extends his points lead with a decent finish today. Not quite as good as i wanted but i'll take it.

here are the latest standings in the sportztawk fantasy stock car racing league

1 AegisFang 1397
2 Terminator X 1270
3 PA Racing Inc. 1261
4 Sir Winalot Racing 1240
5 TEAM TOEJAM 1188
6 Big CA 1124
7 Speedfreaks 1123
8 TRD racing 1117
9 icemachine 1019

I came in 3rd in the weekly perforamce and ben is gaining ground.

team toejam finished near the bottom again this week, at least i always know where my guys are, they are the ones in the wreck!!!!!!

whats happening to you TJ?
