The race is over... as is the 2016 season.
Jimmie Johnson has his name changed again. He will be introduced wherever he appears as "SEVEN Time Sprint Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson" Of course that will change next year as soon as we find out who will be taking over the Primary Sponsorship replacing Sprint in 2017.

Yes, We went from Winston Cup to Nextel Cup to Sprint Cup and now a new one.

I look forward to running this Big Blue Fantasy League in February 2017.... Hope you can all join in again!!!

Thank You all for a great season and we all thank NASCAR for the love of racing!! (Yeah, I know... What's going to change next year?)

Congrats to Mike Kieran for being the top finisher this year! (no you don't get to change your name)

[teejay]

Thanks for running this Mikey ......as for next year , well .......my interest in Nascar is at an all time low . Too boring . It used to be exciting but is now vanilla IMO . I go to local races for racing excitement , guys from the area driving for a couple of hundred bucks and a trophy . Where Nascar drivers began .

[dwight77]

THANKS MIKEY FOR RUNNING THE LEAGUE

Congrats to Mike Kieran for winning

I have had Jimmie Johnson as my main driver since forever.....and he did pull one out of his carb this last race.....so I will continue to stick with him.....maybe #8 is there to be had.

And thanks Mikey for saying you will run the league again....I will be there.
